VXS PowerFREEZE range of -86°C upright freezers uses contact freezing for the shortest possible cooling time and ultimate temperature stability. Samples are stored on shelves that are in direct contact with the cooling coils at -86°C.
A full racking system responds to all user needs for storage of cryotubes, microplates, bags, etc. FreezerWorks inventory management software tracks all samples.
The microprocessor controller and interface combine with software for monitoring and remote control of the sample environment with the FMS™ Network System.
Optimum sample preservation: PowerFREEZE™ puts the coils with 100% of the freezing power INSIDE the chamber.
No icing up: Very rapid cooling makes snow, not ice.
Excellent homogeneity: Virtually the same temperature throughout the whole freezer volume.
Supreme sample protection: Very short recovery time after door opening.
Negligible thermal shock: Exceptionally stable sample temperature at ±0.5°C.
Limited exposure: Internal doors are insulated, maintaining sample temperature while other sections are opened.
Advanced insulation: Polyurethane block foam, guaranteed to provide the same insulation in 4 individual cooling chambers.
High precision: Microprocessor control system.
Full alarm system: Door opening detection; High temperature alarm. Audible and visual alarms built-in. Remote alarm contacts as standard.
High security: Ready to accept CO2 back-up with automatic operation in case of temperature rise inside the chamber. Built-in door lock. 12V battery to power alarm - standard.
Long term reliability: Condenser protected by filter. System protected by thermostat & oversized ventilation fan.
Protection of electrical supply line: Sequential start-up of cooling groups.
Practical and ergonomic: Eye-level control panel, Single-handed door opening (no vacuum effect), High visibility digital display.
Easy to install: Only 31.5” (80 cm) wide, under 79” (199.5 cm) high; 4 rotating castors for all models. (Model 600 is 1.85”, 4.7cm wider).
Silent operation: Just 51 dBA (50Hz models) 55dBA (60Hz) models.
Full communications: Monitoring and remote control by PC with FMS™ system, Inventory management with FreezerWorks™. Optional temperature chart recorder.
Networks over long distance: RS485 interface permits 1650-3300 ft (500-1000 meters) total line length connecting freezers in various labs in the building.
Reduced servicing time and cost: On-board diagnostics with operational history.
