The ACCUCOLD ARG6PV-AFZ1PVSTACK is a 24-inch Medical Performance Series all-refrigerator and all-freezer combination unit. This stackable system is engineered to meet stringent vaccine storage guidelines, including those from the CDC/VFC. It combines a 6 cubic foot auto-defrost all-refrigerator (ARG6PV) with a 1.4 cubic foot all-freezer (AFZ1PV) into a single, space-efficient footprint using Accucold's StackRack system.

Both units feature microprocessor temperature controllers for precise temperature management and stability, crucial for sensitive medical storage. The refrigerator operates within a range of +2°C to +8°C, while the freezer maintains temperatures between -30°C and -10°C.
