• Advanced cooling and safety technologies deliver exceptional temperature stability with reliable +2 °C freeze protection, advanced alarm systems and efficient performance for a lower total cost of ownership.
  
  
• Ideal for laboratories, pharmaceutical and biotechnology facilities, chemical processing plants, and other industrial environments requiring reliable cold storage for flammable substances.

MIAMI, Oct. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Liebherr Appliances USA announces the expansion of its Scientific Laboratory portfolio with a new undercounter refrigerator SRTfg 1501 designed specifically for the safe storage of flammable materials. Combining space-saving design, reliable temperature performance, enhanced safety features, advanced alarm systems and efficient performance for a lower total cost of ownership, the new model provides a versatile solution for laboratories and industrial environments where flammable substances require refrigerated storage.

Designed to fit beneath standard laboratory work surfaces, the refrigerator offers valuable cold storage capacity while maximizing workspace efficiency. Its spark-free interior design positions electrical components outside the storage compartment, helping reduce ignition risks associated with volatile materials. The unit is engineered for the storage of flammable materials in accordance with applicable requirements of NFPA 45, Standard on Fire Protection for Laboratories Using Chemicals, and NFPA 99, Health Care Facilities Code, providing laboratories and industrial users with a safe and reliable cold storage solution.

Supporting Research and Laboratory Applications

Research laboratories, universities, pharmaceutical companies, and healthcare facilities frequently require refrigerated storage for solvents, reagents, samples, and other temperature-sensitive flammable substances. The new Liebherr undercounter refrigerator SRTfg 1501 delivers stable temperature conditions while supporting laboratory safety protocols and efficient use of valuable floor space.

Its compact footprint makes it particularly well suited for placement directly within work areas, allowing researchers and technicians quick access to materials while maintaining controlled storage conditions.

Beyond the Laboratory

In addition to research environments, the new refrigerator serves a wide range of industries where flammable liquids are routinely used or stored. Applications include:

• Pharmaceutical and biotechnology manufacturing
• Chemical processing facilities
• Industrial and quality-control laboratories
• Painting, coatings, and adhesives manufacturing
• Electronics and semiconductor production
• Aerospace and automotive research and testing facilities

By combining specialized safety features with dependable refrigeration performance, the unit helps organizations safely store temperature-sensitive flammable materials closer to the point of use. Designed to support compliance with applicable standards established by NFPA 45 and NFPA 99, the refrigerator is well suited for research, healthcare, pharmaceutical, and industrial environments where safety and temperature control are critical.

Designed for Reliability and Efficiency

Engineered to meet the demands of professional environments, the refrigerator delivers precise temperature control, durable construction, and user-friendly operation. The undercounter format enables seamless integration into laboratories, production facilities, and testing environments where space optimization is essential.

"The need for safe, reliable, refrigerated storage extends far beyond traditional research laboratories," said Aaron Stout, Sales Manager Americas. "This new undercounter solution provides organizations across multiple industries with a compact and dependable option for storing flammable materials while maximizing workspace efficiency."

The new undercounter refrigerator for flammable materials storage will be available starting in November. Like the entire Liebherr Scientific portfolio, it is supported by a premium warranty that includes five years of parts-and-labor coverage and ten years of compressor coverage, providing long-term peace of mind and value.
