Accucold ARG18PV456 18 Cu.Ft. Upright Vaccine Refrigerator with NSF/ANSI 456 Certification

The Accucold ARG18PV456 is an upright vaccine refrigerator purpose-built for pharmaceutical cold storage and vaccine preservation, fully certified to the NSF/ANSI 456 Vaccine Storage Standard. Designed to support compliance with CDC, WHO, and state guidelines, this unit offers precise temperature control critical in molecular diagnostics, bioprocessing, and biopharmaceutical production pipelines.

Key features include:

• Temperature range adjustable from +2 to +8°C with ±1°C variation monitored by an NTC sensor, essential for stable vaccine storage.
• Automatic defrost system with adjustable cycles to prevent ice buildup and temperature fluctuations.
• Temperature alarms (visual, audible, and remote contacts) for power failure, sensor failure, open door, and temperature excursions, ensuring continuous cold chain integrity.
• Microprocessor control panel with password protection and digital min/max temperature display, facilitating secure and accurate temperature management in clinical diagnostics labs.
• Durable construction with white powder-coated interior metal walls and antimicrobial silver ion-coated handle to reduce microbial contamination risks.
• Glass door with double-pane tempered glass provides clear visibility, suitable for busy hospital pharmacies and biotech labs conducting cell imaging and live-cell storage.
• Adjustable wire shelves with multiple height positions and locking casters for mobility and ergonomic access during biomanufacturing workflows.
• Environmentally responsible refrigeration using R290a hydrocarbon refrigerant, compliant with CARB regulations and free of CFCs to reduce environmental impact in research institutions.

The 18 cu.ft. capacity (510 L) supports large-scale cold storage needs for synthetic biology research and molecular cloning workflows. Compatibility with Pyxis®, Omnicell®, and AcuDose RX® systems enhances its integration within clinical and biotechnological healthcare environments.

This unit ships with a 2-year parts and labor warranty and 5-year compressor warranty, making it a reliable choice for research professionals seeking stringent cold storage for vaccines, reagents, and temperature-sensitive biological samples.
