Accucold ARG18PV 18 Cu. Ft. Glass Door Upright Vaccine Refrigerator for Pharmacy and Medical Use

The Accucold ARG18PV is a purpose-built upright vaccine refrigerator engineered to meet CDC and VFC guidelines, ideal for *pharmacy*, *medication*, and *vaccine storage* in clinical and biotechnology settings. This 18 cubic feet capacity unit features precise temperature control ranging from +2 to +8ºC with a ±1ºC variation measured via an NTC sensor, essential for molecular diagnostics and biopharmaceutical production pipelines requiring stable cold storage conditions.

Key technical features include:

• Glass door with double pane tempered glass providing full visibility of stored contents while ensuring insulation integrity.
• Antimicrobial silver ion-coated powder-coated handle reduces microbial contamination risk, critical in biotechnology and clinical workflows.
• Digital microprocessor control panel with a password-protected interface, large LED display in °C/°F, plus resettable min/max temperature logging every 15 minutes to maintain product integrity in bioprocessing environments.
• Multiple safety alarms including temperature deviation, sensor failure, door ajar, and power failure alarms ensure uninterrupted cold chain maintenance vital for gene editing and synthetic biology sample preservation.
• Automatic defrost with adjustable cycle prevents ice buildup and temperature fluctuations.
• Seven adjustable plastic-coated wire shelves enable optimized storage configurations to accommodate various vial sizes and bioreagent containers.
• Remote alarm contacts facilitate integration with building management or laboratory monitoring systems, enhancing operational security.
• The unit uses an eco-friendly R290a hydrocarbon refrigerant, complies with CARB regulations, and is 100% CFC-free, aligning with sustainable laboratory practices.
• Durable white powder-coated metal interior preserves temperature retention; energy-efficient internal LED lighting supports sample visibility without heat generation.
• Locking caster wheels and reversible door swing offer laboratory adaptability and ease of maintenance.
• Factory-installed keyed lock secures contents against unauthorized access, critical for controlled substances and sensitive biotechnological materials.
