Pharmacy refrigerators with a cabinet-like storage compartment large enough to permit a person to enter; they are designed for storage of drugs, pharmacy preparations, and other pharmaceutical products (e.g., live virus vaccines) typically at temperatures between 2 and 10 degrees Celsius (35 and 50 degrees Fahrenheit). These refrigerators typically consist of a chamber made with a corrosion-resistant (typically stainless steel) interior, minimizing the risk of adulteration, contamination, and/or corrosion of contents; internal shelving appropriate for storage, easy location, and handling of laboratory products once the user is inside the chamber; a compressor, condenser, evaporator, tubing, sensors, controls, monitors, a temperature recording chart, and alarms for a dependable long-term storage following pharmacy standards. Walk-in pharmacy refrigerators are available completely assembled or as separate structural elements (e.g., doors, panels, floors) and units (e.g., refrigeration system, condensing unit) for assembly at user facilities.
