Summit Appliance Accucold 8.0 cu.ft Refrigerator – NSF 456 Glass Door

Description

Product Overview

The Summit Appliance Accucold 8.0 cu.ft refrigerator is a purpose‑built medical‑grade unit designed to meet the stringent requirements of vaccine and medication storage. Certified to NSF/ANSI 456, it provides a controlled environment that safeguards temperature‑sensitive products from degradation. Constructed with a durable white exterior and a tempered glass door, the unit offers both visual access and protection against accidental exposure. The automatic defrost system eliminates the need for manual maintenance, while the internal layout includes seven adjustable shelves made from a combination of plastic and wire, allowing users to configure the space for vials, syringes, and larger containers.

Dimensions of 50.0″ H x 23.38″ W x 24.38″ D make the refrigerator compact enough for most laboratory benches yet spacious enough to hold up to 227 liters of inventory. The unit operates as a freestanding appliance, requiring only a standard 120 V power source. A blue‑accented control panel provides intuitive temperature settings, and a buffered temperature probe encased in a glycol‑filled bottle mimics the thermal conditions of stored products, ensuring accurate monitoring.

Usage

This refrigerator excels in a variety of professional settings. In hospital pharmacies, it serves as a reliable repository for vaccines, ensuring compliance with CDC and VFC guidelines. Research laboratories benefit from its precise temperature control when storing reagents, cell cultures, and assay kits. The self‑closing glass door minimizes temperature fluctuations caused by frequent opening, making it ideal for high‑traffic environments such as immunization clinics and blood banks. Its quiet operation and low vibration levels protect delicate samples that could be disturbed by more aggressive cooling systems.

Because the unit is freestanding, it can be positioned on laboratory benches, in clean rooms, or within dedicated storage closets. The robust construction tolerates the rigors of daily use, and the automatic defrost feature reduces downtime, allowing staff to focus on critical tasks rather than routine maintenance.
