Biomedical Refrigerator and Freezer Combination Has Increased Capacity

One 715F unit with dual temperature zone requires minimal space while offering both refrigeration and freezer functions.

The MPR-715F has approximately 23% increase in capacity in the refrigerator compartment, and more than twice the freezer storage space when compared to the MPR-414F model. The MPR-715F combination unit has also added energy-saving LED lighting for greater energy efficiency.

The combination unit features efficient temperature recovery properties, offering minimal temperature fluctuations around set points. The four-door design reduces air loss during door openings for further efficiency.

Sanyo North America Corporation (Sanyo) Biomedical Solutions Division (Wood Dale, IL, USA) has added the new refrigerator with freezer combination model, the MPR-715F, to its MPR series storage line. The new refrigerator/freezer unit is available immediately.

Featuring Sanyo application specific refrigeration technology, such as the ability to maintain a set temperature within the 2 °C to 14 °C temperature range, the system is designed to assure stored product safety. The freezer offers precision temperature uniformity throughout the chamber for a temperature range of -20 °C to -30 °C for laboratory grade freezing of enzymes, vaccines, and other biologicals. The unit also features two Sanyo-designed compressors that allow differential control of individual refrigerator and freezer compartments.

Other standard Sanyo features include integrated alarm functions; Sanyo-built microprocessor controls and alarms with digital display of all input/output functions for comprehensive system management and monitoring; safe and secure storage with keyed locking door; and a unique cycle defrost (refrigerator only) that maintains internal uniformity during cycle defrost.

Joe Laporte, Sr. product manager for the Biomedical Solutions Division, commented, “We see a significant number of customers moving away from household or general purpose combination refrigerator/freezer units due to the lack of digital temperature control and the wild fluctuations in temperature during the defrost cycle, which can cause temperature excursions and potentially rendering vaccines compromised.”
