Sanyo and Panasonic replacements: Alphavita -86°C ultra-low freezers
Since the 1980s, Sanyo manufactured -86°C ultra-low freezers of the MDF-U series, which became established in laboratories worldwide as reliable long-term solutions. Following the acquisition by Panasonic and subsequently by PHC Holdings, the product line is now continued under the Alphavita brand. The model designations (MDF-U581, MDF-U781, MDF-U881) have been retained; laboratories seeking replacements for a Sanyo or Panasonic unit will find the direct successor in the Alphavita series.
Technical features of the Alphavita series
All Alphavita models operate with frequency-controlled inverter compressors that adjust their performance based on load, thereby significantly reducing energy consumption compared to conventional compressors. VIP (Vacuum Insulation Panel) panels in the cabinet walls minimise heat ingress with reduced wall thickness. The achievable minimum temperature is -86°C, with operation typically occurring between -75°C and -80°C. Capacities: 320 cryoboxes (521 l), approx. 460 boxes (736 l), and approx. 540 boxes (861 l) in 2-inch format.
Compatibility and spare parts supply
Due to the continuity of the model series, Alphavita units can be integrated into existing laboratory structures based on Sanyo or Panasonic equipment: storage systems, racks, and boxes in 2-inch format are compatible. For GMP-regulated environments, the units support re-qualification (IQ/OQ/PQ) based on the supplied manufacturer documentation.
