TECHNOLOGY

■ Constant -86ºC ■ Microprocessor Temperature Control ■ Improved Design ■ Temperature & Power Failure Alarms ■ Digital display

SANYO MDF-Series ultra-low temperature freezers maintain internal temperatures as low as -86°C (-123°F). All models use SANYO
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.

Advanced features include a microprocessor temperature control system with digital temperature display, a platinum resistance sensor for
extra precision and reliability, a power failure warning system with built-in audible and visible indicators, double insulation polyurethane
walls and easy open/ easy-close hinged outer door latch.

Performance Data

*Cooling performance is indicated by the temperature reached at

the center of the freezer (at ambient temperature of 30°C with no
load). In order to use the freezer at a stable temperature for a long
time, it is recommended that the temperature be set to at least
5°C higher than the indicated lowest temperature.
In addition, depending on the usage conditions, it may not be
possible to reach the indicated lowest temperature.

■

The newly developed refrigeration system and freezer

structure minimizes intrusive operating noise.

■

Achieves 10% higher energy conservation than competing

models.

■

The newly developed back cover combined with new
aerodynamically designed and placed components in the
refrigeration compartment provide superior air flow, making
it possible to drastically reduce the stress to the freezer and

p r e s e r v a t i o n

contributing to excellent durability.

■

Two independent and insulated inner doors ensure maxi­mum interior chamber uniformity.

ACCESSIBILITY

■

A new rugged inner door latch tightly closes the inner door
and makes accessing chamber contents easier.

■

The condenser filter is located at the bottom right side of
the front panel to make filter removal and cleaning easier.

■

Alarm lamp and buzzer offer secure warning of power
failure or abnormal temperature increase.

■

New rugged, one-handed outer door latch has a hasp to
allow a padlock for additional security

SAFETY

■

High and low temperature warning provides an audible and
visual alarm when the temperature deviates more than ±5°C
to ±20°C (adjustable) from the set point.

■

Alarm ring back function ensures that buzzer will resume
operation, should alarm conditions continue after it is
silenced.

■

Microprocessor-controlled filter-clog check function
protects the refrigeration circuit.

■

Control panel with digital display for easy operation.
