ExGuard ER600: Explosion‑Safe, Ducted Cold Storage for Petrochemical Labs
The Gram BioLine ExGuard ER600 is a ducted laboratory refrigerator built for environments where flammable or volatile substances are handled—particularly in petrochemical, chemical, and industrial research sectors.
Its integrated extraction system removes hazardous vapours from the chamber before the door opens, ensuring operator safety. A non-return check valve balances pressure, while an electromagnetic lock prevents door access until conditions are secure. This process is fully automated and configurable to your facility’s ventilation system.
The ExGuard ER600 is ATEX Category 3 Zone 2 certified both inside and out, and offers 614 L gross (486 L net) storage with stainless steel interiors and shelving. With a temperature range of −2 °C to +20 °C, energy use of just 1.62 kWh/24h, and a noise level of only 46 dB(A), it balances safety with day-to-day efficiency.
This model is ideal for labs requiring strict explosion protection during cold storage of flammable chemicals, solvents, or volatile reagents.

Frequently asked questions about laboratory fridges and freezers
What is the difference between a laboratory fridge and a household refrigerator?
A laboratory fridge is designed for precise temperature control, medical-grade hygiene, and storing flammable or sensitive materials under ATEX certification. Household models lack these critical safeguards and can have temperature gradients of up to 15°C.
Why do I need ATEX certification in my lab fridge or freezer?
ATEX certification ensures that your equipment can safely store flammable substances, which is often required in pharmaceutical labs, petrochemical environments, and GMP settings.
What temperature range is suitable for medicine and vaccine storage?
Most medicines and vaccines require stable temperatures between +2 °C and +8 °C, which is maintained in all Gram Bioline laboratory refrigerators.
Can laboratory freezers store reagents and biological samples?
Yes. Freezers operating between -25 °C and -5 °C and excellent temperature homogeneity and fluctuation are ideal for storing biological reagents, enzymes, tissue samples, and other sensitive materials.
Are Gram Bioline models suitable for GMP-compliant environments?
Absolutely. The BioMidi and BioPlus ranges are designed for pharma-grade facilities, offering excellent temperature performance, hygienic interiors, internal data logging, and service access logs.
What is the benefit of a ducted laboratory refrigerator like the ExGuard?
It minimizes the release of hazardous vapors when opening the fridge, making it perfect for petrochemical labs working with explosive or corrosive chemicals.
Do Gram Bioline units come with internal data logging?
Yes, most BioMidi and BioPlus models offer integrated or optional data logging systems, which are crucial for GMP and audit-ready compliance.
How do I choose between the BioCompact, BioMidi, and BioPlus models?
BioCompact is ideal for general labs, BioMidi for GMP-oriented facilities, and BioPlus for high-capacity or pharmaceutical-grade storage.
