Vaccine & Pharmacy Fridges with Precision Cooling for Critical Inventory 

Vaccines and many pharmaceuticals lose their effectiveness when exposed to temperature fluctuations. Our vaccine refrigerators are built with uniform temperature distribution, powerful fan-forced cooling, and rapid recovery to handle frequent door openings. Each unit is designed with smart internal layouts, ensuring even circulation across every shelf.

Smart Features Our Medical Fridges Offer

Designed for demanding environments, Labec medical fridges are equipped with high-performance features. You’ll find models with:

Precision Temperature Control

Consistently maintains +2°C to +8°C, with minimal fluctuation, even with frequent door openings. Our immunisation fridges also offer glass or solid door options with lockable access for security and flexibility.

Built-In Power Protection

Our pharmacy refrigerators have optional integrated UPS backup for uninterrupted cooling during power outages, no bulky external systems needed.

Strong Airflow & Rapid Recovery

Optimised ducting and DC turbo fans deliver uniform cooling and faster temperature recovery when the door opens. Complete with alarms for temperature breaches or extended door openings.

High-Performance, Low Maintenance

Heated doors prevent condensation, fan-forced cooling ensures stability, and automatic defrost keeps operations smooth. With adjustable shelving, our vaccine fridges also allow different vial and packaging formats.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What type of refrigerator is needed to store vaccines?

Given the fragility of vaccines, they must be stored strictly between +2°C and +8°C. For this, a purpose-built pharmacy vaccine storage refrigerator is required. Storing the vaccines in a specialised pharmacy vaccine refrigerator ensures that a stable temperature remains inside despite the fridge doors being occasionally opened.

What are the requirements for a pharmaceutical refrigerator? 

Pharmacy vaccine refrigerators are fan-assisted and lack various compartments such as salad drawers to help maintain a stable temperature throughout.

What is the cold chain rule for vaccines? 

The so-called cold chain rule for vaccines is the guideline for storing vaccines within a safe temperature range, from the time they are made until they are administered. This includes storage during transportation.

What temperature should a pharmacy fridge be at?

A pharmacy fridge should be set to between +2°C and +8°C. This temperature range is suitable for most pharmaceutical medicines.
