Using a household refrigerator for reagent storage is one of those lab shortcuts that seems fine until it isn't. 🌡️
Household units cycle temperature more broadly, especially near the door, and most lack the temperature alarms that alert you to an excursion before it ruins a batch of sensitive reagents, serum, or cell culture media.
Lab-grade refrigerators and undercounter freezers are designed for tighter temperature uniformity, vibration-minimised compressor placement, and alarm systems that notify you when temperature goes out of range — so a power blip at 2 AM doesn't mean a lost experiment by morning.
