With top performance, sustainability and reduced operational costs amongst its priorities, the IMB chose to equip its core facilities with VIP ultra-low temperature -86ºC and Cryogenic-150ºC freezers, both with water-cooled condensers. The IMB’s research involves a wide variety of different types of biological materials, including human celllines, tissue samples and human protein clones. All these need to be stored at ultra-low temperatures, before nucleic acids and proteins are extracted for further research. With such crucial medical and research applications, the IMB required freezers that offered the highest levels of performanceand reliability to securely store these valuable, often irreplaceable samples. The facilities of the IMB were specificallydesigned to minimise energy consumption and save resources. With this in mind, wherever possible, equipment suchas freezers, centrifuges, lasersystems and sterile work benches, are watercooled, rather than relying on traditional aircooling, therefore, reducing costs and enhancing efficiency. Equipment use is optimised further by sharing resources amongst multiple users from different research groups. The IMB selected 25 VIP MDF-U74V -86ºC ultralow temperature freezers and four Cryogenic MDF-C2156VAN -150ºC freezers.

Cryogenic & VIP ULT Freezers with water cooling AH freezers were equipped with a water-cooled condenser option and utilise the IBM's central water-cooling system. The 728-litre, space-saving, -86°C ultra-low temperature freezers are used to hold a collection of more than 25,000 different human protein-coding clones, whilst the large capacity (231 litres) -150°C Cryogenic freezers store a large number of human celllines, tumour cell lines and tissue samples. “What we really love about the Panasonic freezers is that they provide a very stable, constant environment with no temperature fluctuation,” said...

Cryogenic & VIP ULT Freezers with water cooling "With less heat dissipaten in the freezer room, only ventilation is needed, rather than air-conditioning, which not only requires energy but wastes heat" The IMB also runs instruments and equipment, suchas freezers, at the limit of capacity to optimise efficiency. The Panasonic freezers are located together in a dedicated area to make use of a centralised monitoring and alarm system, which constantly checks the temperature, power supply and coolingwater for all units. “Although initially more expensive than equivalent air-cooled freezers, choosing...
