    What refrigerants are used in the FARRAR ULT and laboratory refrigerators and freezers?

  To reduce carbon footprint and increase energy efficiency, our solutions use R290, R600a, EPA SNAP and EU F-Gas compliant natural hydrocarbons (HC) with low global warming potential (GWP).

• +

    Are these solutions ENERGY STAR labeled? What other standards do they meet?

  The newly launched FARRAR appliances (including the ULT) have been designed and manufactured to meet ENERGY STAR standards. The laboratory refrigeration and freezer solutions are already ENERGY STAR certified and the FARRAR ultra-low temperature freezers (ULT) are pending certification. These solutions use SNAP/EU F-Gas compliant natural hydrocarbon refrigerants with low global warming potential (GWP).

  They have also undergone extensive accelerated life testing (ALT) and are manufactured in an ISO 13485:2016-certified, FDA-registered facility in full compliance with FDA 21CFR Part 820 (GMP).
