Temperature Controlled Medication & Pharmaceutical Cabinets
Some medicines and pharmaceutical products require stable storage at controlled room temperature rather than standard refrigerated storage. A controlled room temperature cabinet uses active temperature control to protect temperature-sensitive products from normal fluctuations in ambient room temperature.
In Australian conditions, room temperatures can move outside the allowable storage range for medicines, particularly during very hot or cold weather or when building heating and air conditioning are switched off. Where specified by the product manufacturer, pharmaceutical storage may require a controlled range such as 15°C to 25°C or 20°C to 25°C.
A temperature controlled medication cabinet or temperature controlled medicine cabinet can use both heating and refrigeration to maintain a stable internal temperature as surrounding conditions change. Unlike an ordinary pharmaceutical storage cabinet or uncontrolled room temperature storage cabinet, a controlled temperature pharmaceutical cabinet actively maintains the required storage conditions for temperature-sensitive medicines and pharmaceutical products.
Always select the cabinet and operating temperature according to the specified storage requirements of the medicines or pharmaceutical products being stored. For products requiring refrigerated storage between +2°C and +8°C, see ENLAKE's pharmacy fridges and pharmacy refrigerators.
