A Buying Guide For Biopharmaceutical Refrigerators

Hospitals, pharmacies, and medical laboratories need laboratory freezers to protect biological and pharmaceutical products and blood samples as per CDC guidelines. These Equipment create special conditions that extend the shelf-life of biological materials.

Unlike household refrigerators, biopharmaceutical refrigerators have a microprocessor-based system for accurate temperature monitoring. They use Digital sensors like Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTD), thermocouples, and thermistors to regulate the interior temperature.

Buying the wrong kind of biomedical refrigerator for your medical facility can spoil supplies and generate huge financial losses. In this blog post, we’ll discuss some factors you need to consider before buying a biopharmaceutical refrigerator.

Particular Usage

Apart from the basic features of pharmaceutical refrigerators, there may be some specific uses you want in your unit, such as:

Storage Purpose

Consider what the biomedical refrigerator will be used for—perhaps vaccines or medical supplies? Tissue or blood samples? Pathology specimens? Keep in mind that different samples require different temperature ranges for sustainable storage.

Temperature Control

Make sure that your lab refrigerator maintains the required temperature range. It should offer temperature range control between 0°C – 10°C and ensure temperature uniformity.

Some pharmacy refrigerators, like the VR Series high-performance lab refrigerators used in vaccines storage or blood banks, require temperature control between 2°C and 10°C.

Size And Dimensions

The amount of material you need to store and the available space for the unit’s installation will determine the size of your refrigerator. You can choose between laboratory refrigerators with 1 or 2-door configurations, removable pull-out drawers and auto-stops.

Z-SC1 Corp offers different size options for medical refrigerators. From refrigerators with a capacity of 2 cubic feet to large refrigerators with the capacity of 14 cubic feet, they have something for every medical facility’s cold storage needs.

Quick Temperature Recovery

To prevent temperature fluctuations whenever the doors open, your refrigerator must recover temperature quickly with efficient forced air circulation.

Proper Locking Mechanism And Alert System

To prevent unauthorized access to the laboratory refrigerator, you should choose a unit that has a password key lock, door open indicators, and door lock system.

Moreover, audio and visual alarms for specified temperature values and USB data logging for 24/7 temperature monitoring can ensure that the samples are always well-preserved.
