Lab Freezer / Refrigerator Combi 4°C(R), -20°C(F), Auto Defrost,, 46.6 cu.ft. (R) 23.1 cu.ft. (F) Overview
The Lab Freezer / Refrigerator Combi 4°C(R), -20°C(F), Auto Defrost,, 46.6 cu.ft. (R) 23.1 cu.ft. (F) (model RFC2001) from Yamato Scientific is an upright laboratory combination unit pairing a 46.6 cu.ft. refrigerator at 4°C with a 23.1 cu.ft. freezer at -20°C. LabSupplies.com supplies this genuine Yamato Scientific equipment as an authorized dealer.
Stainless steel interior and exterior surfaces resist corrosion and simplify cleaning across both chambers. Three epoxy-coated shelves serve each compartment, while polyurethane insulation and a fin-and-tube evaporator support stable thermal performance. Separate compressors drive each section: 1/3 hp for the refrigerator and 1/2 hp for the freezer. Four locking legs hold the cabinet in place.
Each chamber runs on a dedicated 115V, 60 Hz, single-phase circuit through its own NEMA 5-15 plug. Exterior dimensions measure 78 × 34.75 × 81.5 inches (198 × 88 × 207 cm), and the unit ships at 1,140 lbs. UL listing confirms electrical safety, while the cabinet is manufactured in China. Two independent digital displays govern each compartment.
Key Features
- Microprocessor digital control: Two independent digital displays manage each chamber, with Min/Max memory for review.
- Temperature alarms: Hi/Low audible and visual alarms plus alarm relay dry contacts for facility integration.
- Automatic defrost: Both the refrigerator and freezer defrost automatically, reducing manual maintenance.
- Stainless steel build: Stainless interior and exterior with three epoxy-coated shelves per compartment.
- Secure access: Three solid locking doors and four locking legs protect and stabilize the cabinet.
- UL listed: Certified for electrical safety, with optional chart recorder and leg/wall seismic restraints available.
How to Choose the Right Lab Fridge/Freezer Combo
Selecting a combination fridge/freezer means matching chamber capacity, temperature stability, and site power to your sample workload. Review these axes before specifying the RFC2001 for your lab.
- Capacity: The RFC2001 splits storage into a 46.6 cu.ft. refrigerator and a 23.1 cu.ft. freezer; size each compartment to your sample volume and projected growth.
- Temperature range: Confirm 4°C refrigeration and -20°C freezing meet your protocol, since reagents and biologicals often specify exact storage points.
- Control type: Two independent digital displays with Min/Max memory let you set and verify each chamber separately for documentation.
- Voltage and power: Each chamber needs a dedicated 115V, 60 Hz NEMA 5-15 outlet; verify your bench or wall circuits before delivery.
- Footprint: At 78 × 34.75 × 81.5 inches and 1,140 lbs, plan doorways, floor loading, and clearance for the upright cabinet.
- Safety and monitoring: Hi/Low audible-visual alarms, relay dry contacts, and locking doors protect samples and support facility integration.
