Accucold 15 cu ft Refrigerator by Summit with Defrost Alarm

Description

Product Overview

The Accucold ARS15PV-CRT 15 cu ft upright laboratory refrigerator is engineered for precise temperature regulation in demanding scientific environments. Constructed with a robust white plastic exterior and a reversible door, the unit fits seamlessly into both left- and right‑handed lab layouts. Its compact 24.38 x 23.38 x 72‑inch footprint maximizes floor space while offering a generous interior volume for bulk storage of temperature‑sensitive items. The refrigerator operates at a controlled room temperature of 72°F (22°C) and incorporates an automatic defrost cycle that eliminates manual ice removal, reducing maintenance downtime. A built‑in temperature alarm instantly alerts users to any deviation beyond the preset range, while a password‑protected lock safeguards valuable pharmaceuticals, reagents, and samples from unauthorized access. Interior illumination, powered by energy‑efficient LEDs, ensures clear visibility of contents at any time. Seven adjustable shelves—combining sturdy plastic and wire components—provide flexible organization, allowing users to customize spacing for bottles, trays, and larger containers. The unit is powered by a standard 120 V AC source and weighs 205 lb, reflecting its solid construction and durability for long‑term laboratory use.

Usage

Designed for research laboratories, pharmaceutical storage rooms, and quality‑control facilities, the Accucold 15 cu ft refrigerator excels in environments where consistent temperature and secure access are critical. It is ideal for housing bulk medication inventories, vaccine vials, diagnostic reagents, and any other temperature‑sensitive consumables that require a stable 72°F environment. The automatic defrost feature allows continuous operation without the need for scheduled shutdowns, making it suitable for 24‑hour workflows. The temperature alarm and lock system provide an added layer of compliance for regulated industries, ensuring that any temperature excursions are promptly reported and that only authorized personnel can retrieve stored items. The interior LED lighting and adjustable shelving facilitate quick visual inspection and efficient organization, reducing the time spent locating specific samples. Because the door can be installed on either side, the refrigerator can be positioned against walls, workbenches, or in freestanding configurations, adapting to a variety of lab layouts.
