Series Design
®
Cabinet Construction
The cabinet features a patented Pana-
sonic VIP
vacuum insulated panel
®
design which optimizes interior volume
in the smallest footprint possible. The
high-tech, composite thin-wall cellular
construction combines the vacuum
panel insulation with polyurethane foam
for structural stability and high insulation
values to minimize energy use.
• The outer door closes uniformly
against a multi-point gasket to form a
tight seal and prevent moisture migra-
tion leading to frost or ice build-up.
Door gaskets are multi-point com-
pression for a long-lasting, tight seal
around the periphery of the cabinet
thermal break.
• An Easy-In/Easy-Out outer door latch
permits one-handed operation.
• A locking provision is designed for use
with a conventional padlock.
• The interior inventory system is based
on a center shelf and two latching
insulated inner doors designed for one-
handed operation.
• Insulated inner doors are steel-framed,
high-impact polyurethane with newly
developed foamed-in-place insulation
and minimize exposure during routine
door openings.
• Dual inner door configuration (stan-
dard), with optional half-inner door ac-
cessories available for field-installation.
For a four-door configuration order two
sets of half inner doors.
• A universal keyed door lock prevents
the outer door from opening.
• The two primary compartments can be
sub-divided by adjustable shelves to
accommodate standard stainless steel
inventory racks for 2" or 3" boxes
(see Accessories). Shelf brackets are
incrementally adjustable.
• Rounded interior corners enhance
temperature uniformity and simply
cleaning and decontamination when
required.
• Multiple access ports permit use of
back-up injection tubes, probes, leads
or instrumentation.
Superior Footprint
The center
shelf forms
the base of
a convenient
and flexible
inventory
system using
conventional racks with boxes, micro-
plates or other storage protocols. Stain-
less steel shelf and insulated inner-door
combinations create choices of interior
compartments that can be arranged
for long-term, low access biologicals or
short-term, frequently accessed mate-
rial. (Inner door option can affect overall
uniformity)(Inner door not available on
MDF-U33V).
• Easy-In/Easy Out Panasonic 'Eagle
Beak' inner door latches feature
ergonomic design to seal firmly
against the cabinet with one hand.
• High strength, insulated inner doors
help minimize change in interior
temperatures during routine door
openings.
• Additional half-door configuration per-
mits additional inner door orientations.
Half doors are available in pairs only.
See Accessories.
Panasonic Inner
Door Latches
provide single-hand
access. The outer
door latch closes
smoothly with a
single-hand action
over a cam action
bearing.

PLUS Insulation
®
The Panasonic Patented VIP
®
Insulation Panel thin-wall composite is a
high-efficiency design that yields more
interior storage volume in a conventional
freezer footprint. The VIP
minimizes
®
energy transfer to and from the ultra-low
temperature interior. The composite con-
struction, complete with reflective bar-
rier film and structural closed-cell foam,
is used on all walls and the outer door.
This advanced insulation technology
offers structural stability to eliminate
distortion, and inhibits moisture accumu-
lation that can lead to icing. Aggregate
insulation efficiency minimizes compres-
sor cycle run-time to lower energy costs.
Applies to models MDF-U56VC, MDF-U76VC, MDF-U76VA
