PRO Series -86ºC Freezer Performance Advantages

Panasonic conventionally insulated PRO Series ultra-low freezers provide energy savings while minimizing carbon footprint throughout the laboratory without compromising performance. The conventionally insulated series also maintains internal temperatures as low as

-86°C. All models use Panasonic-designed compressors for ultra-low temperature applications. Manufactured with foam-in-place insulation to maximize interior temperature uniformity, they are ideally suited for use in hospitals and laboratories for long-term preservation

and storage of blood, specimens and components, as well as material testing.

PRO Series ULT Freezers

Panasonic PRO Series -86ºC ultra-low temperature freezers maintain internal temperatures as low as -86°C (-123°F). All models use Panasonic uniquely designed compressors for ultra-low temperature applications. Manufactured with foamed-in-place insulation, they are ideally suited for use in laboratories and hospitals for long-term preservation and storage of blood, specimens and components, as well as materials testing. Whatever your preservation needs are, Panasonic provides the right equipment for the right application. Panasonic preservation systems employ advanced technology to insure a high precision temperature environment.

Enhanced Performance, Energy Efficiency, and Reliability

Panasonic PRO Series upright freezers represent the industry’s most advanced combination of cabinet design, electronics, refrigeration and critical components for enhanced security, better performance, product safety and cost effective operation at -86°C.

•The newly developed energy efficient refrigeration system and sound abatement feature which minimizes intrusive operating noise.

•The newly developed compressor deck combined with strategically placed components in the refrigeration compartment provide superior air flow to drastically reduce the stress to the freezer and contributing to excellent durability.

•Two independent sealing and insulated inner doors ensure maximum interior chamber uniformity at all shelf levels

Panasonic Refrigeration Design Delivers Uniform Temperature

The Panasonic cascade refrigeration system uses Panasonic designed compressors for high-performance, reliability and peace of mind. Refrigeration components are carefully selected and matched for optimum operation under demanding laboratory environments.

•Increased cooling capacity improves temperature recovery after door openings.

•Quieter operation is achieved through condenser fan blade design, noise abatement insulation and anti-vibration mounts.

•Voltage boost and surge protection devices permit dependable operation over wider power ranges and environmental conditions.

Because modern laboratories are energy-intensive, Panasonic has developed a corporatewide energy savings and

environmental impact approach to new product development. The PRO Series freezers offer significant benefits through a balance of refrigeration power, cabinet construction and intelligent control over all functions.

Inner Doors Improve Uniformity

The center shelf forms the base of a convenient and flexible inventory system using conventional racks with boxes, microplates or other storage protocols. Adjustable stainless steel shelves create choices of interior compartments that can be arranged for long-term,

low access biologicals or short-term, frequently accessed material.

•Easy-In / Easy Out 'Eagle Beak' inner door latches feature ergonomic design to seal firmly against the

cabinet with one hand.

•High strength, sealing insulated inner doors help minimize change in interior temperatures during routine door openings.

•Two inner doors are standard, creating two compartments that can be subdivided with interior shelves.

Patented Panasonic refrigerants are non-ozone depleting, non-flammable and environmentally safe in compliance with the Montreal Protocol.

Product Features

1.The insulation used in Panasonic’s PRO Series ultra-low temperature freezers is high density rigid, foamed-in-place polyurethane.This design prevents the insulation layers from distortion and cracking that might occur due to temperature differences inside and out.

3.Universal keyed door lock provides additional level of security.

4.Microprocessor-based controller.

5.Remote alarm contacts can be connected to independent monitoring system.

6.Circular chart or touch panel digital (mounted on front door) temperature recorder (optional) installs easily in pre-engineered mounting space.

7.Insulated sealing inner doors help maintain interior temperature during routine openings.Two inner doors are standard.

8.'Eagle Beak' inner door latches.

9.Easy front access to washable, electrostatic condenser filter for routine condenser air filter cleaning.

10.High impact recessed casters simplify installation.

11.Seismic restraints secure cabinet to building superstructure to meet local codes.

12.Panasonic designed compressors specifically designed for low temperature use offer maximum reliability.

13.Multiple access ports permit independent probes,

instrumentation or liquid CO2 back-up system injection.

14.Internal voltage and power management systems assure component protection and best operation efficiencies.

15.Vacuum release port.
