Panasonic-Designed Refrigeration
Panasonic designed and manufactured
compressors specically for storage
applications in a laboratory environment.
Application specic refrigeration assures
stable, uniform temperatures throughout
the chamber.
Microprocessor Controls
Comprehensive setpoint, alarm, monitoring and diagnostic functions maintained
by Panasonic-built microprocessor controller with digital display of all input/output
function.
Enzyme and Biologics
Preservation
(Manual Defrost Models)
Storage at -30°C or -20°C easily with
constant stable control. Uniform temperatures are maintained throughout the
chamber using shelf freezing construction.
Since there is no defrost cycle, the inner
chamber temperature offers outstanding
uniformity and stability without temperature spikes. Standard door lock for an
independent padlock ensure extra safety.
Panasonic’s freezing coils in the shelf
offers superb uniformity and exceptional
temperature recovery due to the
expanded surface area offered by
the shelf freezing design.
