The Haier HYC-461GD is a 461 L (16.3 cu ft) glass-door pharmacy refrigerator engineered for tight 2–8°C control with ≤±1.5°C uniformity — the precision vaccine, reagent, and biological-product storage demands. A triple-paned tempered glass door with frame heater keeps the interior visible and condensation-free even at 32°C, 80% RH ambient, while forced-air cooling with auto defrost and a hydrocarbon (R600a) system hold temperature steady.

Application Profile
Vaccine and biologic storage lives or dies on temperature stability, and a glass-door pharmacy refrigerator adds a second requirement: stock visibility without opening the door and warming the load. The HYC-461GD meets both. Its ≤±1.5°C uniformity — far tighter than a general-purpose refrigerator — protects sensitive product, and its triple-paned tempered glass door with a frame heater stays clear of condensation even in a warm, humid room, so staff can read inventory at a glance while the cold chain stays sealed.
The R600a hydrocarbon system with forced-air circulation and auto defrost delivers consistent cooling, and an anti-freezing thermostat protects contents from accidental freezing. Side-mounted LED lighting illuminates the full interior, adjustable plastic-coated wire shelves flex to your packaging, and a top-mounted unique-key lock secures the cabinet. A 25 mm probe access port accepts independent monitoring.
Design Architecture
The microprocessor controller displays to 0.1°C resolution and lets staff check min/max temperature over the past 24 hours at a glance. A comprehensive alarm suite — high/low temperature, high ambient, door ajar, power failure, low battery, sensor error, communication failure, condenser heat, and remote alarm — with audible/visual alert and a mute function guards the load, and a remote alarm contact is standard for facility monitoring. Optional USB, RS-485, and a printer capture and export temperature data for compliance. Four swivel casters with two leveling feet ease placement.
Frequently Asked Questions
How tight is the temperature control? Uniformity is ≤±1.5°C across the 2–8°C range, with 0.1°C display resolution and 24-hour min/max recall.
Will the glass door fog up in a warm room? No — a triple-paned tempered glass door with a frame heater prevents condensation even at 32°C, 80% RH.
How much does it hold? 461 L (16.3 cu ft) on 5 adjustable plastic-coated wire shelves.
Can I capture temperature records for compliance? Yes — optional USB, RS-485, and a printer export cabinet temperature and alarm data; a remote alarm contact is standard.
Is the door lockable? Yes — a top-mounted unique-key lock secures the cabinet.
Ordering & Configuration
The HYC-461GD is a capital purchase: request a quote or add to cart for pricing and lead time. Backed by Haier Biomedical's manufacturer warranty — confirm current warranty, certification, and voltage configuration with your order.
Choose the HYC-461GD when you need precise ≤±1.5°C vaccine/reagent storage with at-a-glance glass-door visibility in a mid-size 461 L cabinet. Step down to the under-counter HYC-118 for small point-of-use needs, or up to the 1031 L HYC-1031GD for high-volume pharmacy and central-store duty.
