Henderson Biomedical is pleased to have been appointed a distributor of Gram Bioline refrigeration products. Since 1908, the company has focussed on creating high quality refrigeration and freezing equipment for demanding users. Initially, producing fridges and freezers for both domestic and commercial food and dairy sectors as opposed to labs, Gram quickly realised the untapped market in the pharmaceutical and medical environment, and expanded their range. Since 1972, Gram have been producing reliable lab fridges and freezers, evidenced by an almost unrivalled 5 year manufacturer's warranty.
Their equipment is characterised by a number of innovations including built in user verifiable temperature validation on almost all fridges, ATEX approval on the entire range, automatic smart defrost and access ports. The entire Gram range utilises compressors with impressively low noise outputs, the highest being 57.8dB (the PF425 -40ºC freezer) and the usual being around 45dB from standard fridges and freezers.
ATEX approval has been met, despite all bioline laboratory fridges being fan circulated, and ensures that the fridges are safe to use in explosive environments - a must if you are storing volatile susbtances.
