VWR HCCS-33 Laboratory Refrigerator (Refurbished) The VWR HCCS-33 Laboratory Refrigerator is a laboratory-grade refrigerator designed to provide reliable refrigerated storage for research, clinical, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and industrial laboratories. Offering approximately 33 cubic feet of storage capacity, the HCCS-33 combines generous interior storage space with precise temperature control, making it well suited for protecting valuable reagents, biological samples, pharmaceuticals, media, vaccines, and other temperature-sensitive laboratory materials. Unlike residential refrigerators, the HCCS-33 is engineered specifically for laboratory environments. A forced-air refrigeration system promotes excellent temperature uniformity throughout the cabinet, while the microprocessor controller continuously monitors cabinet conditions. Sample-simulated temperature monitoring, comprehensive alarm functions, and secure access controls provide additional confidence for laboratories that depend on stable refrigerated storage. Many laboratories pair laboratory refrigerators with ultra-low temperature freezers, laboratory freezers, centrifuges, biosafety cabinets, and CO₂ incubators to create complete sample storage and laboratory workflow solutions.

Warranty 90-Day Warranty from American Instrument Exchange Specifications compiled from manufacturer literature and American Instrument Exchange product information. Refurbishment & Testing Process Every VWR HCCS-33 laboratory refrigerator received by American Instrument Exchange undergoes a comprehensive inspection before shipment. Our technicians verify refrigeration performance, temperature accuracy, controller operation, alarm functionality, air circulation, lighting, door gasket integrity, shelving, and overall cabinet condition. Each refrigerator is thoroughly cleaned, temperature tested, and inspected to help ensure dependable laboratory performance before leaving our facility. Laboratories purchasing laboratory refrigerators frequently also purchase ultra-low temperature freezers, laboratory freezers, biosafety cabinets, centrifuges, and CO₂ incubators from American Instrument Exchange. Shipping & Installation Considerations The VWR HCCS-33 ships by freight from American Instrument Exchange. Before installation, verify a dedicated 115V electrical circuit and provide adequate clearance around the cabinet to allow proper airflow. After the refrigerator has been positioned, allow sufficient time for the refrigeration system to stabilize before loading valuable laboratory materials. Frequently Asked Questions What temperature range does the VWR HCCS-33 maintain? The HCCS-33 is designed to maintain refrigerated storage temperatures between 1°C and 10°C, making it suitable for a wide variety of laboratory applications. What is sample-simulated temperature monitoring? Sample-simulated monitoring measures the temperature of a buffered probe rather than the surrounding cabinet air, providing a temperature reading that more closely reflects the conditions experienced by stored laboratory materials. What types of laboratories commonly use the HCCS-33? The HCCS-33 is commonly found in biotechnology, pharmaceutical, clinical, academic, environmental, and industrial laboratories where dependable refrigerated storage is essential for protecting valuable samples and reagents. How is the refrigerator tested before shipment? Every refurbished VWR HCCS-33 is inspected and performance tested by American Instrument Exchange technicians. Refrigeration performance, temperature accuracy, controller operation, alarms, door seals, air circulation, and overall cabinet functionality are verified before shipment.
