Accucold AFS17PVLHD 14.83 Cu. Ft. Upright Vaccine Frost-Free All-Freezer

The Accucold AFS17PVLHD is a 14.83 cu.ft. upright vaccine all-freezer engineered specifically for vaccine, pharmaceutical, and clinical diagnostic storage. Part of the Pharma-Vac Performance Series, this frost-free all-freezer provides precise temperature control from -30°C to -10°C, supporting compliance with CDC, VFC, and VFA storage guidelines critical in biotechnology and molecular diagnostics workflows.

Key technical features include:

• Microprocessor digital temperature controller with external display for minimal door openings and high temperature stability essential in live-cell imaging and bioprocessing environments.
• Buffered temperature probe encased in a glycol-filled bottle replicates stored product temperature, supplemented by an additional air temperature sensor to ensure precise thermal monitoring.
• Audible and visual alarms for temperature deviations, power failure, door ajar, and sensor malfunction; remote alarm contacts allow integration with external monitoring systems important for biomanufacturing cold chain management.
• Frost-free operation minimizes maintenance demands and temperature fluctuations, ensuring sample integrity for gene editing and synthetic biology research applications.
• Six adjustable plastic-coated wire shelves enable customizable organization for diverse vial and container sizes common in molecular cloning and pharmaceutical labs.
• LED interior lighting with an on/off switch supports safe sample access.
• Factory-installed antimicrobial silver ion-coated handle reduces microbial contamination risks in clinical and biotechnological settings.
• Durable white powder-coated interior and magnetic door gaskets maintain temperature uniformity and energy efficiency.
• Hospital-grade power cord with ‘green dot’ plug complies with safety standards required in biomedical engineering and clinical environments.
• Dimensions: Height 80" (203 cm), Width 28" (71 cm), Depth 27" (69 cm), with a left-hand door swing.
• Refrigerant: Eco-friendly R290a hydrocarbon refrigerant, CARB compliant for sustainability in laboratory operations.

This unit is critical in molecular diagnostics, vaccine bioprocessing, and biopharmaceutical production pipelines where stable ultra-low temperature storage is mandatory. The adjustable temperature range and robust alarm system make it ideal for storing sensitive biological samples in research and clinical settings. Its compatibility with inventory management systems such as Pyxis®, Omnicell®, and AcuDose RX® enhances workflow integration in hospital pharmacies and biotechnology labs.

With a 2-year parts and labor warranty and a 5-year compressor warranty, it offers reliability and long-term performance for demanding laboratory environments. This freezer’s technical design and comprehensive safety features make it a preferred choice for biotechnology professionals focusing on vaccine storage, synthetic biology, and live-cell imaging workflows.
