Protecting Research: The Crucial Role of Lab Refrigeration

Sónia Sousa | QES Manager
2 Minute Read
Laboratories are responsible for several life-changing solutions, from healthcare advancements to innovative material formulas. To protect and preserve these critical elements, a reliable and precise refrigeration system is indispensable. In this article, we delve into the importance of laboratory refrigerators and why they are an essential investment for any research facility.


Preservation of Sensitive Samples and Specimens

Maintaining the integrity of sensitive samples and specimens is fundamental in any laboratory setting. Many research materials require refrigeration to remain viable. Laboratory refrigerators are specifically designed to provide stable and accurate temperature control, ensuring that these materials are not subjected to fluctuations that could compromise their integrity. With precise temperature regulation, these refrigerators are essential for preventing the degradation of valuable samples.


Preventing Bacterial Growth

Beyond temperature control, adequate refrigeration is critical in mitigating the risk of bacterial contamination. Bacteria thrive in warm environments, potentially compromising the integrity of samples. A laboratory refrigerator that maintains consistent, ideal temperatures helps inhibit bacterial growth, preserving the quality and reliability of research materials.


Accurate Temperature Monitoring and Alerts

Consistent temperature monitoring is vital to maintaining optimal storage conditions. Even minor temperature deviations can result in the loss of valuable samples. Mercatus’ Dialog IoT technology provides real-time temperature monitoring and historical data access, ensuring compliance and peace of mind. Additionally, built-in alarms alert users to prolonged door openings, power interruptions, or deviations from set temperature ranges, allowing for quick action to safeguard samples.


Enhanced Security for Valuable Research

Security is paramount in any laboratory, especially when it comes to protecting valuable research and specimens. Laboratory refrigerators equipped with secure locking mechanisms and login access prevent unauthorized access, safeguarding both data and materials. This level of security is essential for maintaining the integrity of long-term studies and protecting proprietary research.


Protection During Power Outages

Unexpected power outages can pose a significant risk to stored samples. Laboratory refrigerators from Mercatus Bioscience are equipped with backup batteries that can maintain normal operation for up to 72 hours, ensuring that your research materials remain safe and stable during emergencies.
