PHCbi MDF Laboratory Freezers for -30^o or -40^oC clinical preservation

PHCbi’s Laboratory Freezers are ideally suited for effective storage of life-saving vaccines and samples for diagnosis and are also well adapted for temperature tests and aging.

PHC offers complementary ranges of upright and chest format laboratory freezers with storage capacities ranging from 138 to 690 liters.

PHCbi Laboratory Freezer technology 

PHCbi -30^oC and -40^oC Laboratory Freezers incorporate an array of PHCbi proprietary technologies aimed at enhancing their energy efficiency, reliability, sustainability and regulatory compliance. These features include:

• Energy efficient cascade cooling system: PHCbi’s new capillary tube heat exchanger provides optimum heat exchange pathways in the design, to increases overall system efficiency for energy savings, while also reducing stress on the compressors, for longer service life and enhanced reliability.
• Inverter technology: inverter compressor varies its operating speeds under intelligent control that recognizes ambient temperature and load conditions to save energy and reduce compressor start-ups that cause greatest wear.
• Hydrocarbon refrigerants: Natural hydrocarbon refrigerants used on some models in the Laboratory Freezer range provide more efficient cooling due to their high latent heat of evaporation. As a result, smaller compressors can be used leading to greater energy efficiency. With exceptionally low global warming potential natural refrigerants are also better for the environment.
• Medical Device Certification: PHC products are used by a growing number of customers for the preservation or cultivation of human cells, tissues and blood components, and selected products are classified as medical devices in this context, according to the EU’s MDD Medical Device Directive guidelines. PHC was one of the first major international companies to be awarded MDD compliance certification for a wide range of incubation and refrigeration products in 2011. Since then, it has continued with commitment to certification of key products and its quality systems to ensure that PHC products meet all current and future regulatory requirements.

The natural refrigerants in selected PHCbi Laboratory Freezers and their low specific power consumption make real contributions to enhanced corporate social responsibility and sustainability for life science and healthcare users.
