PHCbi 1.62 cu.ft. Benchtop Refrigerator

Dedicated equipment for vaccine storage is the only way to ensure cold chain performance. While frozen products typically tolerate a broader temperature environment, refrigerated products must be kept from warming up or freezing.

The PR-L2466W-PA model undercounter and countertop laboratory refrigerator delivers innovative design and performance features to meet customer and regulatory demands. The 1.62 cu.ft. refrigerator is ideal for pharmaceutical and lab material storage without freezing.

PHCbi brand pharmacy storage refrigerators are designed to meet current CDC guidelines for vaccine storage.2) The unique refrigeration system maintains critical temperature of 5°C with uniformity of ±3°C. Cabinet operation from 2°C to 8°C allows for ideal storage of pharmaceutical and lab materials without freezing.

The PR-L2466W-PA is ideal for refrigerated storage of the following:

1. Biological products
2. Temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals or medications (for human and veterinary use)
3. Refrigerated and/or light sensitive vaccines and diluents, including but not limited to:3)

  • MMR (Unreconstituted lyophilized (freeze-dried) MMR may be frozen or refrigerated)
  • HepA, HepB, HepA-HepB
  • Hib
  • 9vHPV
  • Influenza (LAIV, IIV, RIV)
  • IPV
  • Meningococcal (MenACWY-D, MenACWY-CRM, MenB-4C, MenB-FHbp)
  • Pneumococcal (PCV13 and PPSV23)
  • Rotavirus (RV1 and RV5)
  • Diphtheria toxoid-, Tetanus toxoid-, and Pertussis (DT, DTaP, DTaP-HepB-IPV, DTaP-IPV, DTaP-IPV/Hib, Tdap, Td)
  • RZV
