There is no internal light and no internal fan, and the electrical components that would normally sit inside the cabinet are relocated outside it. That is what separates a Sparkfree unit from a domestic freezer pressed into laboratory service, where the door switch and the light are inside the box with the contents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt holds minus 18 to minus 25 degrees Celsius with a factory set point of minus 20 degrees Celsius, which is the band for routine sample, reagent and specimen storage. Temperature is shown on an external digital display, so the cabinet is read without opening the door, and there are high and low temperature alarms with both audible and visual indication plus a door open alarm. A 12 mm access port in the cabinet takes an external probe, which is how a unit of this sort is tied into a monitoring or data logging system where a stored record of temperature is a requirement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cabinet is 600 mm wide and 600 mm deep at 835 mm high, so it slots under a standard laboratory bench run, and it takes three shelves. The door is solid, self closing and key locked with two keys supplied, which covers the basic access control expected where samples or controlled reagents are held. Defrost is manual rather than automatic, which is deliberate on a laboratory freezer: an automatic defrost cycle lifts the chamber temperature periodically and that is not acceptable for samples that must stay below a stated limit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRunning cost is modest at around 0.8 kWh per 24 hours, and the ambient range is 16 to 32 degrees Celsius, so a warm plant room or a conservatory corridor is outside the design envelope and a unit sited there will struggle to hold set point. Siting and ventilation matter on under-bench units, since the condenser has to shed heat into the space around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eReferences\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReference\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRLVF0417\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLabcold\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRange\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSparkfree laboratory freezer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnder-bench, free standing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGross capacity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e124 litres\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature range\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMinus 18 to minus 25 degrees Celsius\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePre-owned\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSparkfree interior, with the sources of potential ignition removed from the chamber and the electrical components relocated outside it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinus 18 to minus 25 degrees Celsius working range with a factory set point of minus 20 degrees Celsius.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExternal digital temperature display, so the cabinet is read without opening the door.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh and low temperature alarms with audible and visual indication, plus a door open alarm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12 mm access port for an external probe, for connection to a monitoring or data logging system.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid self closing door, right hand hinged, with a key lock and two keys.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree shelves, two at 460 mm by 407 mm and one at 460 mm by 240 mm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManual defrost, which avoids the periodic temperature rise that an automatic defrost cycle imposes on the chamber.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnergy use of around 0.8 kWh per 24 hours.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background: #fff3cd; border-left: 5px solid #ffc107; padding: 16px 20px; margin: 0 0 22px; border-radius: 4px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #856404;\"\u003ePoints to note before ordering\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSparkfree is not explosion proof.\u003c\/strong\u003e Labcold state the unit is not suitable for storing open containers of volatile substances.
