Laboratory Refrigerator

A laboratory fridge is used by healthcare facilities and professionals to store samples and specimens, as well as vaccines and medicines, at a specific temperature to ensure they do not become spoiled. General-use refrigerators are available in full-size, benchtop, and under-bench configurations. Explosion-proof refrigerators, pharmacy units, and combination refrigerator/freezers. The fundamental reason for having a refrigerator is to keep food cold. Cold temperatures help food stay fresh longer. The basic idea behind refrigeration is to slow down the activity of bacte- ria (which all food contains) so that it takes longer for the bacteria to spoil the food.
