Laboratory Fridge & Freezer Suppliers in Melbourne

Refrigerators and freezers are among the most important pieces of equipment in laboratories. They maintain a precise environment controlling both temperature and humidity for the preservation of fluids and substances. Reducing the temperature better preserves quality controlled materials and ensures the maximum shelf life of a substance by decreasing chemical and biological activity.

Same as medical fridges, laboratory fridges and freezers utilise high quality compressors to cycle refrigerant gas in order to transfer heat out of the unit and maintain a set temperature with a precision of 0.1°C. They are used by healthcare facilities and research laboratories to store biological materials, samples, microbial cultures, specimens, vaccines, reagents and chemicals. It is important to note that each model of fridge/ freezer is purpose built for storing particular items and cross storage should be avoided.

Laboratory refrigerators maintain temperatures above freezing and feature adjustable shelves and large cabinet capacities. Laboratory freezers are used for long term storage and maintain significantly lower temperatures. They feature automatic defrosting capabilities and alarms that trigger when the temperature inside the cabinet falls out of the preset range. Both units often come with a locking mechanism to improve security and prevent unnecessary cabinet openings from taking place.
