VWR HCUCFS-0420 -15C to -25C Undercounter Freezer
The VWR HCUCFS-0420 Undercounter Freezer offers efficient and reliable cold storage, designed to fit seamlessly under laboratory counters to maximize space. This freezer features a temperature range of -15°C to -25°C and a capacity of 4.0 cubic feet (113 liters), suitable for a variety of laboratory applications. It employs R600a, a natural hydrocarbon refrigerant, which not only enhances its energy efficiency but also reduces its environmental impact by lowering global warming potential (GWP). The unit includes mechanical thermostats for temperature regulation and manual defrost functionality for maintenance ease. Safety and security are ensured with keyed door locks and the robust design includes magnetic door gaskets that seal tightly. The freezer's interior shelving is thoughtfully arranged to optimize storage space. It is specifically engineered for freestanding use, as built-in or enclosed installations could lead to overheating and potential failure. This model exemplifies VWR’s commitment to environmental health and meets stringent EPA/SNAP mandates, UL, and ASHRAE compliance guidelines, making it an ideal choice for laboratories seeking cost-effective, multi-functional cold storage solutions.
All of our equipment is fully tested to perform at factory specifications before being shipped.
