American BioTech Supply 23 Cu. Ft. Premier Glass Door Laboratory Refrigerator ABT-VS-LP-23

The ABT-VS-LP-23 delivers exceptional temperature performance through advanced variable speed compressor technology and precise microprocessor control. With maximum temperature variation of just +/- 1.5°C in cabinet air and remarkable stability of +/- 0.3°C using simulator ballast, this 23 cubic foot laboratory refrigerator ensures your critical samples remain within strict parameters. The unit’s patented forced draft air circulation technology and EPA-compliant R600a hydrocarbon refrigerant combine to achieve ultra-low energy consumption of less than 1.2 KWh per day while meeting ENERGY STAR v2.0 standards.

Engineered for demanding clinical and research environments, the ABT-VS-LP-23 features comprehensive monitoring capabilities with audible and visual alarms for temperature excursions, sensor errors, power failures, and door ajar conditions. The digital temperature display offers C°/F° switchable readouts with 0.1°C resolution, while remote alarm contacts enable integration with facility monitoring systems. A keyed door lock provides immediate security, with compatibility for optional digital locks including Pyxis, Omnicell, and AcuDose RX systems.

Built to withstand continuous laboratory use, the ABT-VS-LP-23 combines a durable white powder-coated steel exterior with high-density urethane foam insulation for optimal efficiency. The self-closing glass door with magnetic gasket minimizes temperature fluctuations, while safety-shielded LED interior lighting and four adjustable shelves maximize usability. With swivel casters including locking front units for easy positioning, plus a generous 2-year parts and labor warranty backed by a 7-year compressor warranty, this premier refrigerator delivers long-term reliability for your most valuable specimens.
