What is the typical lifespan of a used laboratory refrigerator?

With proper maintenance, laboratory refrigerators can operate reliably for 10-15 years or more. The 'Direct-from-Bench Original' status suggests it has not been tampered with since decommissioning.

Does this unit require any special installation?

Typically, laboratory refrigerators only require a stable, level surface and access to a standard electrical outlet. Ensure adequate ventilation space around the unit.

What maintenance is typically required for this type of refrigerator?

Routine maintenance includes cleaning the interior and exterior, checking door seals for integrity, and ensuring the condenser coils are free from dust to maintain efficiency.

Is R134a refrigerant still compliant for use in the UK?

Yes, R134a is still permitted for use in existing equipment in the UK. Regulations primarily restrict the use of higher GWP refrigerants in new equipment.

What should I check when receiving a 'Direct-from-Lab' unit?

Upon receipt, verify the unit powers on, the compressor engages, and it begins to cool. Inspect for any transit damage and ensure all stated accessories are present.
