Strong volumetric temperature uniformity provided by the chambers helps ensure that every unit stored is maintained at the same precise temperature.
To reduce the impact of frost build-up, each cold storage unit is equipped with an automatic defrost cycle. Furthermore, with the addition of an optional dehumidification system, the chamber can be kept frost free.
The upright reach-ins are appropriate for a variety of applications, including:
- Extended range testing
- Package studies
- Refrigerated storage of bulk raw materials and finished products
- Chromatography and analytical separations
- Refrigerated temperature stability and shelf-life studies
- Media, chemical, and reagent holding
- Stability testing
- Pharmaceuticals
- Drug research
- Biomedical storage
- Stability research
- Laboratory supply storage
- Sample storage
