Combination freezer/fridge? - (Jun/11/2008 )

Hi,

I have been searching for an upright combination freezer and fridge for the lab. Preferaably, one with half of the space for 4oC and half for -20oC. It seems that it's quite difficult to find these around, but nevertheless I am hoping a few folks here can give me the names of a few brands.

THANKS in advance!

They should have independent cooling circuits for the two temps, i.e. two compressors.

Also make sure that you order non-auto defrost one. Not good for laboratory reagents!

And defrost everytime things really Frizup tongue.gif
