The UCR-101 is the larger 130 L (4.6 cu.ft.) solid-door refrigerator in Yamato's UCR undercounter/countertop series — the same monitored 2°C to 8°C / 35°F to 46°F lab and pharmacy refrigerator as the 75 L UCR-001, scaled up to nearly double the storage volume. It is the right pick for point-of-use 2–8°C refrigeration where a single compact cabinet must hold a higher inventory of reagents, media, or pharmaceuticals. A glass-door version at the same capacity is offered as UCR-101G.

Application Profile
The UCR-101 fits higher-volume monitored 2–8°C refrigeration in a single undercounter cabinet. It holds larger reagent, media, and sample banks at a controlled 2–8°C where 75 L would run short, and suits pharmacy and clinic cold-chain storage of a fuller inventory of refrigerated pharmaceuticals and vaccines with alarm protection. For QC and regulated-inventory holding, the microprocessor control and full alarm suite catch door-ajar and power-failure excursions, while a single mid-size unit can serve as shared-lab central refrigeration across several benches — all behind a secure, keyed solid door in a space-constrained footprint.
Choose the glass-door UCR-101G where contents need to be seen without opening; step down to UCR-001 where 75 L is sufficient.
Design Architecture
Refrigeration. A hermetic compressor with R600a hydrocarbon refrigerant and forced-air circulation delivers uniform 2–8°C cooling across the larger 130 L cabinet, with automatic defrost keeping the evaporator clear. US EPA / SNAP-approved insulation holds temperature.
Control and monitoring. A microprocessor digital controller manages the setpoint, with an alarm suite covering high/low temperature, door ajar, power failure, low battery, sensor failure, and USB failure.
Cabinet and access. The painted-white steel cabinet holds 2 adjustable shelves and 1 basket, with a 1" porthole for probe pass-through. The single solid, keyed-lockable door secures contents; 2 rear casters with leveling feet provide roll-and-level placement.
Electrical. Standard 115V, 60 Hz, single-phase power drawing ~2.28A running on a 15 Amp dedicated line, shipping with a NEMA 5-15 plug.
Frequently Asked Questions
What temperature range does the UCR-101 hold? A monitored 2°C to 8°C (35°F to 46°F), managed by a microprocessor digital controller.
How much can the UCR-101 store? 130 L / 4.6 cu.ft. behind a single solid door, with 2 adjustable shelves and 1 basket; external dimensions are 25.75" x 24.75" x 32".
Is there a glass-door version? Yes. The UCR-101G offers the same 130 L capacity with a glass door where contents need to be seen without opening. The smaller 75 L sibling is the UCR-001.
How is the cold chain protected? The alarm suite covers high/low temperature, door ajar, power failure, low battery, sensor failure, and USB failure; a 1" porthole allows an external probe or chart recorder to be added.
What power does it require? 115V, 60 Hz, single-phase on a dedicated 15 Amp circuit, drawing about 2.28A running, and it ships with a NEMA 5-15 plug.
Ordering & Configuration
Each UCR-101 ships complete: cabinet, 2 adjustable shelves, 1 basket, keyed lock, microprocessor controller with alarm suite, 2 rear casters with leveling feet, and NEMA 5-15 cord. Chart recorder, cold safety gloves, and extra shelves are optional accessories.
