Large Capacity Laboratory Refrigerators: MPR Series
Stable and reliable refrigerated environment for exacting laboratory
requirements. Ideal temperature environment for clinical research,
pharmaceutical and industrial use. Adjustable shelves and wide range
setpoint for varying laboratory applications including chromatography
and pharmaceutical storage.
Temperature Stability
Panasonic’s temperature control system, with thermistor temperature monitor
and microprocessor control reliability maintains cabinet temperature at
the set level that is unaffected by outside ambient temperature. Forced
air circulation ensures that the cabinet temperature returns to the set
point quickly after door openings and remains uniform throughout the
cabinet.
Wide Temperature Range
With a temperature range of 2°C to 23°C, Panasonic’s MPR Series
refrigerators are ideally suited for many tests that require a stable,
cool temperature or general cold storage.
Speedy and Powerful Refrigeration
For frequent door openings, Panasonic’s MPR Series refrigerators are
equipped with powerful, hermetically sealed compressors. These
purpose-built compressors ensure superior pull-down
characteristics and precise temperature control.
Easy-to-Manage Layout
The interior layout flexibility of the MPR Series refrigerators makes
them ideal for running experiments that require stable, cool conditions,
as well as general cold storage
Standard Alarm and Safety Features
Panasonic’s MPR Series refrigerators are fitted with alarms and flashing
indicator LED to warn of high and low temperature conditions. In the
event of an irregular rise in cabinet temperature,
the heater automatically shuts off and forced air circulation brings the
temperature down. Door locks are standard to safeguard valuable
contents.
HFC Refrigerant & CFC-Free Insulation
Panasonic biomedical equipment is designed for low environmental impact. The
MPR-721 and 1411 series use HFC refrigerant R-134A, and foamed-in-place
insulation is CFC free.
Large Capacity
With a modular width of 30.3 inches (770mm) the MPR-721 offers capacity
of 24.1 cu.ft (684 liters) The interior is spacious enough to
accommodate column chromatography apparatus or large volumes of
reagents, test samples and biologicals.
Large Fans
The 4.7”-diameter fan ensures an even temperature throughout the cabinet
(MPR- 1411R models have a double flow system with two fans). Heat spots
from powered test apparatus are minimized and pull-up characteristics
after door openings are outstanding.
New concept features have been added to the MPR-721 and MPR-721R. A
filterless condenser cuts down on cleaning maintenance. Also, all glass
doors now include a protective film to prevent shattering in the event
of accidental collisions.
Adjustable Shelves
The shelves can be arranged to accommodate tall apparatus such as
fraction collectors. These shelves are deep enough [24.4 inches (620mm)
front to back] and strong enough (110lbs) to hold most apparatus.
User Friendly Design & Double Door Function
Easy to read and operate control panel features a full array of
alarm and safety functions. Through wall access ports are standard to
allow access for power cords. Aesthetically attractive exterior color
blends in most lab color schemes. The“catch-free” rounded corners are
safe and attractive. Doors open smoothly and close automatically. Some laboratory refrigerators
have solid doors for temperature stability, while others have glass
doors for easy viewing. Panasonic MPR Series
refrigerators give you the best of both versions. The broad, solid
frames with effective gaskets ensure excellent temperature stability,
and the double-pane glass windows offer an excellent
view of the interior without compromising temperature stability. Optional panels are available to block out light.
Cycle Defrost
In the 4°C range, frost buildup on the evaporator is inevitable.
This can affect the performance of the heat exchanger. Panasonic has solved
this problem with a cycle defrost and evaporator
temperature sensor system. This system runs automatically so there is
no need to turn off power for defrosting. Temperature rise during
defrost is minimal. The evaporation heater also doubles
as protection against drops in cabinet temperature caused by a low ambient temperature.
