Integrated LCD control with graphical display. The Twin Guard Series
microprocessor controller with LCD information center to simplify all freezer functions. Uniform ultra-low temperature
is achieved through a combination of performance systems supervised by the controller complete with alarm,
programming and diagnostic protocols.
The Safest Ultra-Low Freezer
for Long-Term Storage of Ultra-
Critical Biologicals
The SANYO Twin Guard Series
the industry demand for safe, long-
term storage for the most high-valued
materials. Two independent refrigeration
systems, combined with optional liquid
nitrogen or liquid CO
back-up systems,

offer a circle of protection unmatched in
the marketplace. Developed for use with
conventional inventory racks and boxes,
the Twin Guard Series
is ideal for stor-
™
age of sensitive stem cells, embryos,
cell lines, and other rare specimens.
Independent systems efficient ultra-low cooling
is achieved through two independent evaporator
circuits surrounding the interior chamber.

Refrigeration System
The Twin Guard Series
er avoids conventional cascade refrigera-
satisfies
™
tion technology by using two completely
independent one-compressor, autocas-
cade cooling systems, each capable of
maintaining ultra-low temperatures.
•
Each refrigeration circuit includes a
closed-loop cold-wall evaporator con-
figured in parallel to the other.
•
Independent evaporators and cooling
fans assure back up status at all times,
eliminating system failure due to
sub-component failure in conventional
cascade systems configured of mutu-
ally dependent high- and low-stage
systems.

system will automatically maintain a
minimum of -65°C for an indefinite

compressor, operate independently in
overlapping cycles during normal opera-
