- Two independent refrigerant systems for accurate, cross-independent temperature control
- Refrigerator uses forced-air cooling; freezer uses direct cooling for optimum efficiency
- Dual compressors ensure fast cooling, energy savings, and long operational life
- High-precision microprocessor control with LED display and 0.1°C resolution
- CFC-free and HCFC-free environmentally friendly refrigerant
- Powder-coated steel exterior with 50 mm insulation (fridge) and 100 mm insulation (freezer)

FAQ
Q: What temperature ranges does the MRF-288A maintain?
A: The refrigerator compartment maintains 2°C to 8°C and the freezer compartment maintains -10°C to -40°C, each controlled by independent refrigerant systems
Q: Can the two compartments be controlled independently?
A: Yes. The refrigerator and freezer zones each have their own compressor and refrigerant circuit, allowing independent temperature management without cross-interference
Q: Is this unit suitable for storing biological samples and vaccines simultaneously?
A: Yes. The refrigerator zone is ideal for vaccines and temperature-sensitive reagents at 2°C–8°C, while the freezer zone preserves biological samples requiring sub-zero storage down to -40°C

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of specimens can I store in the MRF-288A?
The refrigeration compartment (2°C–8°C) is ideal for storing vaccines, sera, blood samples, and other temperature-sensitive biologicals, while the -40°C freezer preserves long-term samples such as DNA, enzymes, and plasma.
Why does this unit have two separate refrigerant systems?
Independent refrigerant systems ensure precise, independent temperature control for each compartment, preventing temperature fluctuation in one section from affecting the other and maintaining specimen integrity.
How much fridge and freezer space does the MRF-288A provide?
The unit offers 188 L of refrigeration space and 100 L of freezer capacity, making it suitable for medium-sized lab environments with mixed preservation needs.
Which settings and environments is this unit designed for?
The MRF-288A is built for clinical laboratories, hospital blood banks, pharmaceutical research centres, and diagnostic facilities requiring reliable dual-temperature sample storage.
What should I do to maintain this refrigerator-freezer?
Regular cleaning of shelves and door seals, periodic defrosting if not auto-defrosting, and inspection of gaskets help ensure long-term accuracy and efficiency; consult the user manual for detailed maintenance intervals.
Can I adjust the temperature settings independently?
Yes, because of the two independent refrigerant systems, each compartment can be set and controlled separately to maintain precise specimen preservation conditions.
