World-renowned manufacturers in the laboratory equipment sector, both KALSTEIN and ARCTIKO offer high-quality products that meet the needs of the most demanding medical professionals. This comparison focuses on two of their refrigeration units, the KALSTEIN YR05288 model and the ARCTIKO PRE 285 model.
Both models present similar operating temperatures of 2~8℃ and are designed for medical use, ensuring the correct preservation of samples and medicines, with a very small variation in their volume, the YR05288 with 316L and the PRE 285 with 265L. However, the technical differences and design features highlight the advantages of the KALSTEIN manufacturer. Single Door Medical Refrigerator Covid Vaccine Storage YR05288 // YR05289-2 – Kalstein
Technical Specifications: A detailed look
One of the main differences between the two models lies in the way each one handles refrigeration and defrost, both have a forced air cooling system and auto defrost, but they use different types of refrigerant: KALSTEIN uses the R290, while ARCTIKO uses the R600a.
In terms of display and control, both models have a digital LED screen and a controller – the KALSTEIN YR05288 has a microprocessor controller and the ARCTIKO a Honker controller. The advantage of KALSTEIN lies in its sensor inside a glycerine box. This allows for more precise monitoring of temperature conditions as it is a more precise sensor.
Superior Quality Design and Materials
From the design point of view, both models offer compelling solutions that facilitate their use in the laboratory. The KALSTEIN YR05288 includes adjustable shelves, wheels for easy mobility, and a heated glass door to minimize condensation. The ARCTIKO model, on the other hand, has a traditional glass door.
Despite the agreement on the use of oven-coated steel for the inner construction of the equipment, the difference is more significant in the external material. KALSTEIN sticks to atomized coated steel while ARCTIKO uses a galvanized steel with powder coating.
Alarm System and Additional Certifications
Both devices are equipped with auditory and visual alarm systems, but KALSTEIN prevails with its alarm backup system in case of power failures of up to 8 hours. In KALSTEIN, the quality guarantee is backed by ISO9001, 13485, 14001 and CE certifications, ensuring the equipment meets international manufacturing standards.
Although both models offer technical specifications and design features tailored to the demand of medical and laboratory spaces, the optimal choice lies with the KALSTEIN YR05288. Its more advanced control system, better exterior material, and robust backup system in case of power failures are guarantees that back up its purchase. And let’s not forget that when it comes to purchasing laboratory equipment, the manufacturer’s efficacy in after-sales service is of great importance. In this regard, KALSTEIN stands out for its responsibility and commitment to the customer.
