Undercounter & Countertop Refrigerator 2°C To 8°C, 2.64 cu.ft., Cycle Defrost Overview
The Yamato Scientific Undercounter & Countertop Refrigerator (model UCR001) is a laboratory refrigerator engineered for safe sample and pharmacy storage across a controlled 2°C to 8°C range. Its 2.64 cu.ft. cabinet fits beneath a bench or on a countertop, holding biologicals, reagents, and vaccines at an average +4°C. LabSupplies.com supplies this unit as an authorized Yamato Scientific dealer.
Cabinet construction uses white powder-coated steel with US EPA / SNAP approved insulation. A hermetic compressor, R600a refrigerant, and forced-air circulation maintain even temperatures, while cycle defrost simplifies maintenance. Two adjustable shelves and one basket organize the interior, and a single solid keyed-lockable door secures contents. Interior space measures 17.5" × 17.5" × 21.75".
Operation runs on 115V, 60 Hz, single-phase power through a standard NEMA 5-15 plug. Exterior dimensions of 21.25" × 22" × 30" and two rear casters with leveling feet support tight installations. Shipping weight is 150 lbs. Manufactured in China, the unit is UL listed, Energy Star qualified, and CDC and VFC compliant.
Key Features
- Controlled cold storage: microprocessor digital control holds the chamber within a 2°C to 8°C range for sensitive samples.
- Comprehensive alarm suite: hi/low temperature, door-ajar, power-failure, low-battery, sensor-failure, and USB-failure alerts protect inventory.
- Secure access: single solid door with keyed lock, plus a 1" porthole access port for external probes.
- Forced-air uniformity: hermetic compressor and R600a refrigerant deliver consistent forced-air cooling with cycle defrost.
- Flexible storage: two adjustable shelves and one basket organize the 2.64 cu.ft. interior.
- Mobility and leveling: two rear casters with leveling feet ease placement under a bench or on a counter.
How to Choose the Right Undercounter Fridge/Freezer
Selecting a laboratory refrigerator comes down to matching capacity, temperature performance, and site power to your stored materials. Use these axes to confirm the unit fits your workflow before ordering.
- Capacity: a 2.64 cu.ft. chamber suits point-of-use storage near a bench; size up if you consolidate large reagent or vaccine volumes.
- Temperature range: a 2°C to 8°C unit targets pharmacy, vaccine, and biological storage at an average +4°C rather than sub-zero freezing.
- Control type: microprocessor digital control with a full alarm suite matters where excursions trigger compliance documentation.
- Voltage and power: confirm a standard 115V, 60 Hz, NEMA 5-15 outlet is available at the install location.
- Footprint: verify the 21.25" × 22" × 30" exterior clears your undercounter or countertop opening.
- Compliance: CDC and VFC compliance is critical for vaccine programs and audited cold-chain storage.

Frequently Asked Questions
What temperature range does the Yamato UCR001 maintain?
The UCR001 maintains a 2°C to 8°C range, targeting an average storage temperature near +4°C. Microprocessor digital control regulates the chamber, making it suited to pharmacy, vaccine, and biological sample storage rather than sub-zero freezing.
What is the storage capacity and interior size?
Capacity is 2.64 cu.ft. with interior dimensions of 17.5" × 17.5" × 21.75" (44 × 44 × 54 cm). Two adjustable shelves and one basket organize the space. Exterior dimensions measure 21.25" × 22" × 30" (54 × 56 × 76 cm).
What power supply does the unit require?
The UCR001 runs on 115V, 60 Hz, single-phase power through a standard NEMA 5-15 plug. Confirm a matching standard outlet is available at the installation point before ordering.
What materials and refrigerant does it use?
The cabinet is built from white powder-coated steel with US EPA / SNAP approved insulation. Cooling uses a hermetic compressor with R600a refrigerant and forced-air circulation, plus cycle defrost for simplified maintenance.
Is the refrigerator compliant for vaccine storage programs?
Yes. The UCR001 is CDC and VFC compliant, UL listed, and Energy Star qualified. A full alarm suite — hi/low temperature, door-ajar, power-failure, low-battery, sensor-failure, and USB-failure — supports audited cold-chain documentation.
Does the door lock and can probes be added?
The single solid door is keyed-lockable to secure contents. A 1" porthole access port lets you route external temperature probes or a chart recorder into the chamber without breaching the seal.
