The difference between a medicine cooler and a refrigerated cabinet

Medicines need to be stored under specific environmental conditions to maintain their efficacy and quality. In order to meet the storage needs of different medications, many different types of medication storage equipment have appeared on the market, including medication coolers and refrigerated cabinets. Although both types of equipment are used for storing medicines, they differ in terms of the scenarios in which they are used and the temperature range in which they are maintained.

I. Differences

1. Temperature range: the temperature range of the cool cabinet is generally between 15 ~ 25 ℃, suitable for storing medicines that do not require refrigeration, such as most of the traditional Chinese medicine and tablets and other drugs. The temperature range of refrigerated cabinets is generally between 2~8℃, which is suitable for drugs that need to be kept at a low temperature, such as vaccines and biological products.

2. Storage capacity: the storage capacity of the cooler and refrigerated cabinet is also different. Generally speaking, the storage capacity of the cool cabinet is smaller, suitable for individual clinics and other small medical institutions. The storage capacity of refrigerated cabinets is larger, suitable for large medical institutions.

3. Maintenance: cooler than refrigerated cabinet maintenance is more simple. Because of the lower temperature requirements of the cooler cabinet, so no need to set up defrost and other maintenance measures like refrigerated cabinets.

Second, attention

1. Drug storage classification note: in the use of drug cooler and refrigerated cabinet, you need to classify the storage of drugs to prevent the quality of drugs due to the temperature is too high or too low leading to a decline in quality. According to the storage requirements of different drugs, choose the appropriate equipment for storage.

2. Equipment maintenance: the service life and performance of the storage equipment will be affected by the normal maintenance of the equipment. Therefore, the use of drug cooler and freezer need to be regularly cleaned and maintained equipment.

3. Drug storage location: when using the drug cooler and freezer, you need to place the equipment in a stable environment. Avoid direct sunlight, humidity and high temperature environment to keep the equipment in normal working condition.
