Product catalog summary
Overview
The document details the TwinGuard Ultra Low Temperature Freezers, designed for secure storage of high-value samples. These freezers feature a Dual Cooling System, ensuring protection by using two independent refrigeration systems to maintain a uniform temperature in the -70°C range, even if one system fails.
Specifications
The freezers are available in models MDF-DU502VX-PE, MDF-DU702VX-PE, MDF-DC500VX-PE, and MDF-DC700VX-PE, with capacities from 528 to 729 liters, storing 384 to 576 2” boxes. Certified as Class IIa Medical Devices, they are suitable for storing sensitive samples like human cells, organs, plasma, and DNA.
Key Features
  • Dual Cooling System: Provides redundancy and maintains temperature in case of system failure.
  • Ease of Use: Managed by a microprocessor controller with an LCD touch panel for easy monitoring and control.
  • Filterless Design: Reduces maintenance time by eliminating the need for regular filter cleaning.
  • VIP PLUS Insulation: Offers up to 30% more storage capacity without increasing the footprint.
  • Temperature Uniformity: Ensures stable temperatures and quick recovery times to protect sample integrity.
Applications
Ideal for storing temperature-sensitive samples such as therapeutics, biospecimens, stem cells, engineered tissues, vaccines, and other valuable pharmaceutical products. Suitable for clinical trials and high-security laboratory samples.
Innovative Design
Features a patented VIP vacuum insulation panel design, providing more interior storage volume within a conventional footprint. Includes multiple access ports, an EZlatch door handle, and a manual vacuum release port for ease of use.
Energy Efficiency
Operates in Normal or ECO mode, with ECO mode reducing energy consumption while maintaining optimal temperature uniformity. Compressors are designed for ultra-low temperature applications, enhancing energy efficiency and extending compressor life.

In the case of unexpected failure of one of the cooling circuits, the other circuit will maintain the freezer continuously in the -70°C range. Medical Device Directive Panasonic has become one of the first companies in our industry to introduce Medical Device certification to underline our strong commitment to product design, quality and safety. In 2010, Panasonic was awarded certification by TUV-Sud to manufacture blood bank refrigerators, freezers and incubators as Class Ila Medical Devices according to the directives 93/42/EEC and 2007/47/EC. At the same time our quality systems were updated...
