Position of the probe in a refrigerator

Understanding temperature variations:

• Biomedical refrigerators may have temperature differences between different zones.

• These variations can result from several factors such as 

  1. the proximity of the temperature probe, 

  2. frequent door openings or 

  3. uneven airflow.

Consider temperature differences when positioning products:

• Place sensitive or critical products in areas of the refrigerator that provide a more stable temperature.

• Avoid placing products near areas prone to temperature fluctuations, such as doors or air ducts.

• Organize products to maximize temperature uniformity in the refrigerator.

Follow CDC recommendations:

• The CDC offers guidelines for storing sensitive products, including specific recommendations on placement in the refrigerator.

• Consult CDC recommendations to ensure your products are optimally
