Laboratory refrigerators

Main benefits

• Consistent temperature uniformity thanks to forced air circulation (BioLine airflow system) – ideal for laboratory and medical applications.
• Safe storage with visual and audible alarms, potential-free alarm contact and product temperature sensor for critical lab and pharma storage.
• ATEX Cat. 3 Zone 2 safety – internally and externally certified for volatile or flammable substances.
• Energy-efficient cooling system using natural refrigerants (R290/R600a) for reduced operating costs.
• User-friendly MPC or EVO controller with data logging, suitable for GMP/GLP and 21 CFR Part 11 environments.
• Flexible shelf and drawer configurations for optimal use of internal space, compatible with all Gram BioLine models.

Quick selection guide

• Limited space or under-counter use? Choose the Gram BioCompact II laboratory refrigerator (210–610 L).
• Medium capacity or GMP lab? Choose the Gram BioMidi medical refrigerator (425–625 L).
• Large storage or pharmaceutical environment? Choose the Gram BioPlus laboratory refrigerator (500–1400 L).
• Handling explosive or volatile substances? Consider the Gram ExGuard ATEX refrigerator for laboratories.
• Need a fridge/freezer combination? Use the BioCompact II Duo for combined storage.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a laboratory refrigerator and a medical refrigerator?

A laboratory refrigerator is designed for samples, reagents and R&D materials, while a medical refrigerator is used for vaccines, medication and clinical storage. Gram BioLine units serve both roles thanks to precise temperature control, alarms and ATEX safety.

Why choose a Gram Bioline refrigerator?

A Gram Bioline refrigerator combines stable temperature, forced air circulation, ATEX certification and energy efficiency. It is suitable for laboratories, hospitals and pharmaceutical facilities where product integrity is critical.

Do I need ATEX certification for my lab?

Choose an ATEX refrigerator or explosion-proof laboratory refrigerator when storing volatile or flammable substances, or when your lab is located in a classified hazardous zone. Gram ExGuard is purpose-built for these environments.

Can I customize the interior layout?

Yes, Gram refrigerators feature flexible shelf and drawer systems so the interior can be adapted for bottles, blood bags, reagents or sample trays. Stainless-steel interiors are available for GMP environments.
