The Sanyo MDF-C2156VAN freezer is designed to provide stable and highly uniform ultra-low temperatures for the long-term preservation of viable cells, tissue and biological material.
The large-capacity -150C freezer incorporates third-generation VIP Plus insulation panels, reducing the wall thickness from 175mm to 135mm and resulting in a capacity of 231 litres to accommodate up to 14,000 2ml cryo-tubes.
A double-lid gasket helps maintain internal temperature stability by preventing cold-air loss.
According to the company, the MDF-C2156VAN offers lower running costs, greater ease of use and accessibility to stored samples than liquid-nitrogen systems.
The freezer also eliminates the risk of sudden liquid-nitrogen eruptions or splashing when samples are removed.
Equipped with Cool Safe compressors and SANYO's cascade refrigeration system, the MDF-C2156VAN's internal temperature is controlled and monitored by a microprocessor controller and graphic display.
The LCD display with pop-up menus is designed to provide clear and concise information about freezer status and alarm notifications.
A data-logging function records the internal temperature and lid openings lasting more than two minutes, allowing recent freezer performance to be viewed at a glance.
The Status Alert function continuously monitors ambient and system conditions, and will notify the user of abnormalities before a problem occurs.
For additional protection of valuable or irreplaceable samples, the freezer is equipped with a liquid-nitrogen back-up system as standard, which enables connection to a separate supply vessel.
