Kirsch MED 126 PRO-ACTIVE medicine refrigerator
This model offers professionals a reliable solution for the precise cooling of sensitive medicines, vaccines and laboratory samples. It impresses with its stable temperature range and comprehensive safety features, particularly in sensitive areas such as pharmacies, clinics and research institutes. Compared to similar fridges, it stands out with its balanced mix of energy efficiency and storage capacity. Detailed functions and performance features The appliance regulates the internal temperature using dynamic air circulation cooling, which guarantees excellent temperature stability. An electronic system allows settings between +2 °C and +15 °C, supported by 70 mm thick insulation for minimal loss of cooling energy. Thanks to the clear display, users can react quickly even when wearing gloves and read temperature curves as required. The integrated automatic defrosting system operates at defined intervals, ensuring minimal ice formation.
With back support provided by a pressure-foamed body, energy consumption remains at an estimated low of 0.58 kWh in 24 hours, making operation cost-effective and environmentally friendly. The cooling chamber, with a gross volume of around 120 litres, is lined with robust material that is easy to clean. Samples, vials, vaccine doses and other temperature-sensitive substances can be stored here in a structured manner. In addition, rust-resistant inserts allow for convenient loading and unloading. A fail-safe alarm system detects temperature deviations and reports them visually and acoustically. In addition, it also indicates that action is required after a certain period of time if the door is accidentally left open. Even in the event of a power failure, the monitoring and alarm functions remain active for up to 30 hours thanks to an integrated battery. A lockable door and a sturdy door handle with a self-closing mechanism prevent unauthorised access and facilitate daily use.

Additional data such as the external dimensions of 54 x 53.5 x 88.8 cm (WxDxH) and a maximum heat output of around 183 watts underline that the appliance is ideally suited for confined installation conditions or heat-sensitive workspaces. Inside (44 x 42 x 67 cm), users can keep track of everything at all times thanks to flexibly adjustable shelves.
Certifications and standards
This refrigerator complies with all standards and certifications relevant to professional medicine and laboratory storage. It has been specially developed to ensure the quality of sensitive substances at the required level. This provides planning and application reliability for all those who need to store sensitive materials stably over a longer period of time.
Application examples
- Pharmacies: Storage of vaccines such as flu or COVID-19 vaccines in their prescribed temperature zone
- Hospitals: Storage of insulin and other prescription medicines that require reliable cooling
- Research institutes: Storage of microbiological or biochemical samples to ensure the reproducibility of experiments
- Laboratories: Safe temperatures for blood samples, sera and reagents, for example for the detection of certain enzymes
These specific applications demonstrate how versatile the device is in practice. Temperature-sensitive substances such as vaccines, blood products or highly reactive chemicals (e.g. certain enzyme residues) are particularly well suited to this device.
FAQs
How are temperature fluctuations prevented?
The system continuously measures the internal temperature and quickly compensates for deviations using dynamic air circulation cooling.
What maintenance work is required?
Regular visual inspections, occasional cleaning of the interior surfaces and monitoring of the alarm system are usually sufficient. Manual defrosting is not necessary thanks to the integrated automatic system.
Can the unit be optimised for different samples?
Yes, the shelves can be flexibly adjusted in height to easily accommodate different package sizes or laboratory configurations.
Can I operate this refrigerator in small rooms without any problems?
Thanks to its compact external dimensions and a heat dissipation of around 183 watts, heat generation is relatively low. The permissible ambient temperature (up to +38 °C) also allows it to be used in warmer environments.
Conclusion
With its sophisticated safety and monitoring functions, reliable cooling technology and energy-efficient design, this appliance is a professional solution for sensitive cooling applications. The combination of a robust interior, precise temperature control and automatic defrosting makes it perfect for demanding institutions that rely on consistent quality and storage conditions.
