The UCR-101G is the larger glass-door 130 L (4.6 cu.ft.) 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 solid-door UCR-101, but with a single glass, lockable door for at-a-glance inventory checks. It is the right pick where a higher-volume 2–8°C cabinet must also allow contents to be seen without opening. The 75 L glass-door option is the UCR-001G.

Application Profile
The UCR-101G fits higher-volume monitored 2–8°C refrigeration where visibility matters — one mid-size, visible-inventory unit can serve several benches in a shared lab. Typical uses:
- See-through high-capacity storage — the glass door lets staff verify a fuller inventory without breaking the cold chain by opening.
- Larger reagent, media, and sample banks at a controlled 2–8°C where 75 L would run short.
- Pharmacy and clinic display-style cold storage of refrigerated pharmaceuticals and vaccines with alarm protection.
- QC and regulated-inventory holding — microprocessor control and full alarm suite catch door-ajar and power-failure excursions.
Choose the solid-door UCR-101 where a windowless, higher-insulation cabinet is preferred; step down to UCR-001G where 75 L glass-door capacity 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. US EPA / SNAP-approved insulation holds temperature; the glass door is the visibility trade for a solid panel.
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 glass, keyed-lockable door secures contents while allowing inspection; 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-101G hold? 2°C to 8°C (35°F to 46°F), managed by a microprocessor digital controller.
How does the UCR-101G differ from the solid-door UCR-101? Both are the same 130 L / 4.6 cu.ft. 2–8°C cabinet; the UCR-101G has a single glass, keyed-lockable door for at-a-glance inventory checks, while the UCR-101 uses a solid, higher-insulation panel.
What alarms does it include? High/low temperature, door ajar, power failure, low battery, sensor failure, and USB failure.
What power does the UCR-101G require? 115V, 60 Hz, single-phase on a dedicated 15 Amp circuit, drawing about 2.28A running; it ships with a NEMA 5-15 plug.
What refrigerant and defrost does it use? R600a hydrocarbon refrigerant with a hermetic compressor, forced-air circulation, and automatic defrost.
Ordering & Configuration
Each UCR-101G ships complete: cabinet, 2 adjustable shelves, 1 basket, keyed lock, glass door, 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.
At quote, confirm the glass vs. solid door choice (UCR-101) for the visibility/insulation trade-off, 130 L vs. 75 L (UCR-001G) capacity, any extra shelves or chart recorder, countertop vs. undercounter placement for the 25.75" x 24.75" x 32" footprint, and dedicated 15 Amp / 115V circuit availability. Lead time and warranty follow Yamato standard capital-equipment terms.
