Product overview
The lead-lined refrigerator is designed for the secure, temperature-controlled storage of radiopharmaceuticals and radioactive materials used in nuclear medicine and radiopharmacy operations. The unit features a stainless steel exterior with integrated 1/8-inch lead shielding, supporting radiation protection while maintaining a compact, undercounter footprint.
This refrigerator is based on the Accucold ARS6PV platform and provides approximately 6 cubic feet of internal capacity. Two adjustable shelves allow the interior to be configured to suit different storage needs. The unit operates within a controlled temperature range of 2°C to 8°C and uses automatic defrost to support consistent operation.
With approximate dimensions of 25 inches wide by 29 inches deep by 33-1/2 inches tall, the refrigerator is suited for integration into hot labs and preparation areas. The unit weighs approximately 126 lbs without lead and 361 lbs with 1/8-inch lead shielding. It is intended to be used as part of a broader radiation protection strategy and should be coordinated with room layout, electrical supply, and surrounding shielding elements.
