Description
ABS PH-ABT-NSF-23S Pharmacy Refrigerator Premier
These upright ABS PH-ABT-NSF-23S Pharmacy Refrigerator Premier are designed in accordance with the NSF/ANSI 456 Standard for Vaccine Storage. Refrigerators protect pharmaceuticals at optimal temperatures, preventing waste and allowing for peak delivery.
These glass door refrigerators utilize microprocessor controllers and feature temperature alarms, remote alarm contacts, LED interior lighting, and probe access ports. American Biotech Supply Vaccine Storage Refrigerators utilize HFC-free refrigerant for environmental health and energy efficiency.
The acceptable temperature ranges for vaccine storage are 36°F to 46°F (or 2°C and 8°C) in the refrigerator and -58°F and 5°F (or -50°C and -15°C) in freezers.
*-one or more of these certifications may apply to this unit.

Performance data acquired at 22°c ambient, using nsf/ansi 456 compliant validation ballast probes, empty chamber, during stabilized steady state operation and a daq sampling rate of one measurement every 10 seconds.
1- uniformity is defined as the maximum variance in temperature across all probes at any point in time over the testing period
2- stability is defined as the maximum variance in temperature experienced by any single probe over the testing period
3- temperature performance for all loaded and unloaded door opening protocols, all alarm, controller and probe requirements as defined in the nsf/ansi 456 standard for vaccine storage
4- data per energy star test results or equivalent testing and calculation. Heat rejection based on daily averages, not continuous operation. Performance exceeds energy star requirements.

Product FAQ
What does NSF/ANSI 456 certification mean for this vaccine refrigerator?
NSF/ANSI 456 is the rigorous standard for vaccine storage units. This certification guarantees that the refrigerator maintains strict temperature performance, uniformity, and stability required by the CDC for safe vaccine storage.
What are the advantages of the solid door design?
The insulated solid swing door provides maximum privacy, secure containment with built-in keyed locks, and superior thermal retention compared to glass door configurations across the 23 cu. ft. storage volume.
What temperature monitoring features are included?
The unit features a digital microprocessor controller, digital display, and a comprehensive alarm package including audible and visual high/low-temperature alerts, sensor error warnings, and remote alarm contacts. It utilizes dual probes—one in the air and one in a sample-simulated liquid bottle—along with a NIST-traceable calibration certificate.
Are there specific installation requirements?
Yes. Due to the commercial scale of this upright model, it requires adequate clearance around the back and sides to ensure optimal airflow and consistent temperature regulation.
What is the warranty coverage?
It includes a standard parts and labor warranty, plus extended compressor coverage for long-term operational reliability.
Shipping FAQ
How is this medical refrigerator shipped?
Due to the heavy commercial weight, solid door configuration, and sensitive internal electronics of this upright unit, it is shipped via specialized LTL (Less-Than-Truckload) freight, securely palletized to minimize movement and ensure safe arrival.
Do I need liftgate service?
Yes, liftgate service is mandatory unless your facility features a professional commercial loading dock capable of receiving an 18-wheeler, as this large unit must be carefully lowered to ground level.
What should I inspect upon arrival?
Before signing the delivery receipt, you must perform a comprehensive inspection of the solid door, exterior panels, door seals, and refrigeration housing for any signs of transit-related damage.
What are the post-delivery setup steps?
To prevent compressor damage and ensure stable temperature regulation, allow the unit to sit upright in its final installation location for at least 24 hours to let all internal cooling fluids settle before powering it on.
