What does 'spark-free interior' mean?

A spark-free interior means that all potential ignition sources, such as electrical components, are located outside the refrigerated compartment. This design is crucial for safely storing flammable liquids and materials by preventing accidental ignition.

Is this refrigerator suitable for storing medical samples?

While it provides controlled cold storage, units specifically designed for medical samples (e.g., blood banks, vaccine storage) often require more stringent temperature control and monitoring standards, such as MHRA compliance. Buyers should verify specific certifications if medical use is intended.

What maintenance is typically required for a laboratory refrigerator?

Routine maintenance typically involves periodic cleaning of the interior and exterior, checking door seals for integrity, and ensuring the condenser coils are free from dust to maintain efficiency. Calibration of temperature probes may also be required annually.

Can this unit be placed in a non-laboratory environment?

Yes, while designed for laboratories, a spark-free refrigerator can be used in any environment requiring safe storage of flammable materials, provided the ambient conditions are within the manufacturer's specified operating range.

What are the common alarm features on laboratory refrigerators?

Common alarm features include high/low temperature alarms, open-door alarms, and power failure alarms. These are typically audio-visual to alert users to potential issues that could compromise stored contents.
