27" top-mount laboratory refrigerator
The USPE-LR1-27TM places the refrigeration system on top of the cabinet, away from floor-level dust and lint. That makes it a good fit for busy clinical floors, specimen receiving areas and other spaces that are mopped often.
Inside are 19 cubic feet of 33–41°F storage, LED lighting and a user-friendly door with a recessed handle. Tray slides accept full-size trays for sample racks and supply bins.

FAQs
What can I store in this refrigerator?
It is designed for refrigerated reagents, test kits, specimens awaiting processing, medications and clinical supplies held at 33°F to 41°F. The stainless interior wipes clean and resists corrosion.
Can it be used for vaccine storage?
CDC prefers units that conform to NSF/ANSI 456, followed by purpose-built and pharmaceutical-grade units. This is a commercial-grade, stand-alone refrigerator and is not NSF/ANSI 456 certified. Confirm it meets your immunization program’s requirements and monitor it with a calibrated digital data logger.
Does it need a drain or dedicated circuit?
No drain is required; a built-in condensate evaporator handles defrost water. It runs on a standard 115V NEMA 5-15P outlet.
What does freight cost?
Freight is $595 for the first unit and $495 for each additional USPE laboratory refrigerator on the same order, delivered in the lower 48 states.
Do you accept purchase orders?
Yes. Hospital, university, government and group purchasing POs are accepted. Call 1-888-792-9315 or request a quote for a formal bid.
