Application Profile
True builds its Scientific line in three application families — Pharmacy, Laboratory and Chromatography — and the TSCI-1200LR-SLG-M-WW-1A is the Laboratory unit: it is intended for reagents, biologics and research materials. Its published range is 2°C to 10°C with a 5°C set point, 0.7°C uniformity and 1.7°C stability.
The TSCI-1200LR-SLG-M-WW-1A is Energy Star certified, meets NSF 456 performance standards, drawing 3.812 kWh/day, rejecting 1155 BTU/hr into the room. Rejected-heat and energy figures matter when several cabinets share a room: they size the HVAC load as directly as they size the utility bill.
Design Architecture
Refrigeration System. Refrigeration system specifically designed to maintain cabinet temperatures between 2°C - 10°C (36°F - 50°F). Expertly designed airflow system controls temperature uniformity throughout the cabinet within +/-1˚C. Self-contained, capillary tube system using environmentally friendly R290 hydrocarbon refrigerant that has zero (0) ozone depletion potential (ODP), & 0.02 global warming potential (GWP). Reciprocating hermetic compressor paired with forced air copper tube, aluminum fin condenser. Automatic defrost. State-of-the-art, electronically communicated evaporator and condensing fan motors. Produces less heat, reduces energy consumption, and provides more efficient airflow.
Cabinet Construction. Exterior - non-peel or chip white powder coated cold rolled steel; durable and permanent. White aluminum back. Interior - attractive, white aluminum interior liner with a stainless steel floor. Remote alarm contacts. Insulation - entire cabinet structure is foamed-in-place using a high density polyurethane insulation that has zero ozone depletion potential (ODP) and zero global warming potential (GWP). 0.625 Inch diameter probe access port in the back of the unit.
Door. Low-E, double pane thermal insulated glass door assemblies with mitered plastic channel frames. The latest in energy efficient technology. Each door fitted with 12” (305 mm) long handle. Door ajar alarm Magnetic door gaskets of one piece construction, removable without tools for ease of cleaning. Smooth, consistent, self closing doors.
Shelving. Powder-coated, perforated sheet metal shelves adjustable in 1/2 inch (13 mm) increments. 7 shelves total. Four (4) stainless steel shelf clips are included per shelf.
Electrical. Unit completely pre-wired at factory and ready for final connection to a 115/60/1 phase, 15 amp dedicated outlet. Cord and plug set included.
Optional Features/accessories (upcharge And Lead Times May Apply). Stainless steel interior Stainless steel exterior Additional perforated sheet metal shelves Wire shelves 6" standard legs 6" seismic legs
