Everest EMGR48C 53 In. Chromatography Refrigerator, 2 Sliding Doors, 48 Cu. Ft., Bottom Mount Blizzard R290

The Everest EMGR48C is the mid width sliding door model of Everest's LAB Series chromatography refrigerators, putting 48 cubic feet of cold workspace behind two glass doors that glide in stainless steel tracks in a 53 1/8 inch cabinet. An access port on each side wall routes lines or cords between outside instruments and the work inside, and a duplex GFCI outlet inside the cabinet keeps stirring devices and other equipment running with the doors closed. Because the doors slide rather than swing, the cabinet works against a busy lab aisle where door clearance does not exist.

Bottom Mount Blizzard R290 Cartridge that Swaps without On-Site Brazing

The condensing unit is a bottom mounted, self-contained Blizzard R290 cartridge with a 1/2 HP compressor rated at 3,563 BTU per hour, fully detachable and replaceable in the field with no on-site brazing. For a lab, that is the difference between a refrigeration tech opening a sealed system next to running experiments and a cartridge swap that puts the cabinet back to work the same visit. The cartridge runs natural, EPA-compliant R290 refrigerant with zero ozone depletion potential and a global warming potential of three.

Electronically commutated fan motors pull the cabinet to temperature quickly while drawing less power, and the auto defrost cycle starts on a timer and ends on temperature, so it runs only as long as the coil needs. The condensate pan maintains itself with no external drain line or electric heater, which keeps the install down to a wall outlet, and a high performance auto-reverse condenser fan supports compressor ventilation and helps keep the condenser coil clean between cleanings.

Two Low-E Double Pane Glass Sliding Doors in Stainless Steel Tracks

Low emissivity double glass panes reflect UV rays, so the compressor is not fighting radiant heat while the glass keeps experiments and inventory visible without opening a door. Instead of swinging into the aisle, the doors ride in stainless steel door tracks and self-close against heavy duty bumpers that absorb the impact of a quick entry, and the doors themselves are removable, which turns cleaning the glass and the tracks into an easy process.

48 Cu. Ft. Interior with Side Wall Access Ports and a GFCI Duplex Outlet

The chromatography hardware is what separates this cabinet from a display cooler. Two access ports, one on each side wall, route lines or cords between outside instruments and the equipment inside, each sealed by a heavy duty cover with lockable tabs, and a duplex GFCI electrical outlet inside the cabinet powers stirring devices and other equipment under a waterproof cover. Around that workspace, the 48 cubic foot interior carries 8 epoxy coated steel wire shelves with airflow guards, four per section, on height adjustable stainless steel clips, lit by a shielded LED bar with its own on/off switch that throws bright, high color light at low heat output. A full-length air duct distributes cold air top to bottom with an air circulation guard keeping the floor vents clear, the heavy duty white coated steel interior wipes down easily, and the stainless steel floor has rounded corners and a detachable drain plug for fast cleanups. The cabinet is insulated with 2.5 inch high density polyurethane and stands on four height adjustable screw legs.

Digital Controller that Holds 33°F to 54°F with an Overheat Alarm

A multi-function digital controller with an easy to read LED display ships factory preset at 35°F and adjusts anywhere from 33°F to 54°F, covering cold storage for buffers and reagents up through warmer setpoints. An audible overheat protection alarm watches the compressor and condenser coil and sounds before a developing fault becomes a lost experiment. Everest backs the unit with 3 year parts and labor, 5 year electrical, and 10 year compressor coverage, supported through its service agent network.

If the stock setup does not match your lab, Everest offers additional shelving, a gravity shelf and bottle organizer, 5 or 3 inch swivel casters with locks on the front set, and height adjustable interchangeable legs from 3.5 to 6 inches.

Keep in mind this is a refrigerator holding 33°F to 54°F; anything that needs freezing belongs in a freezer, not here. Sliding doors keep the aisle clear but each clears a 25 inch pass, so bulky equipment loads easier through the swing door EMSGR48C. Forty eight cubic feet hold a full workflow with shared storage; a floor-wide program steps up to the 69 cubic foot EMGR69C, while a single bench setup only needs the 33 cubic foot EMGR33C. Power is a standard 115V connection on a 9 foot cord with a NEMA 5-15P plug, so no dedicated circuit work is needed.
