Undercounter & Countertop Refrigerator 2°C To 8°C, 4.6 cu.ft., Cycle Defrost Overview
The Undercounter & Countertop Refrigerator 2°C To 8°C, 4.6 cu.ft., Cycle Defrost (model UCR101) from Yamato Scientific is an upright laboratory refrigerator built for safe sample storage. Holding a controlled 2°C to 8°C range across 4.6 cubic feet, this unit suits benchtop or undercounter placement. LabSupplies.com supplies it as an authorized Yamato Scientific dealer.
Cabinet construction uses white powder-coated steel with US EPA/SNAP-approved insulation. A hermetic compressor paired with R600a refrigerant drives forced-air circulation for even temperature distribution. Interior storage includes two adjustable shelves and one basket, while a single solid keyed-lockable door secures contents. One-inch access porthole accommodates external probes or chart-recorder leads.
Power runs on 115V, 60 Hz single-phase through a NEMA 5-15 plug. Exterior dimensions measure 25.75" × 24.75" × 32", with shipping weight near 150 lbs. Two rear casters and leveling feet ease positioning. Manufactured in China, the unit carries UL listing, Energy Star, and CDC/VFC compliance.

How to Choose the Right Undercounter Fridge/Freezer
Selecting an undercounter laboratory refrigerator means matching the cabinet to your sample volume, temperature requirements, and site power. Review these axes before purchase:
- Capacity: 4.6 cu.ft. fits compact undercounter footprints; confirm the shelf and basket layout against your sample load.
- Temperature range: a 2°C to 8°C unit suits vaccines, reagents, and biological samples that need refrigerated rather than frozen storage.
- Control type: microprocessor digital control with multi-point alarms supports monitored, audit-ready storage.
- Defrost type: cycle defrost balances simplicity with consistent interior temperatures.
- Voltage and power: verify 115V, 60 Hz single-phase service and a NEMA 5-15 outlet at the install site.
- Footprint and placement: exterior dimensions and rear casters determine undercounter or benchtop fit.
