Revolution-SA has all of the standard Revolution’s features plus a motor-driven carousel that adds a level of automation to the sample retrieval and storage process.

Revolution-SA Features

•  Motor-Driven Carousel: The motor drive rotates the carousel in a fully hands-free operational mode. The system aligns the required quadrant or rack direcly below the lid. This ergonomically friendly option eliminates manually rotating a heavy carousel. In conjunction with individual user profiles, the motor drive enables the system administrator to restrict access to specific locations within the freezer, such as specific quadrants or racks. Rack learning technology allows the user to program the position of individual freezer racks.
• Radiance Temperature Management System (patent-pending): Enables the freezer to operate at any specific temperature between -20° and -190°C. In Radiance Mode, the freezer’s temperature is controlled with IC Biomedical’s exclusive atomization technology that evenly distributes microscopic nitrogen droplets to maintain the set temperature. Radiance can also be used to assist cooling when the freezer is accessed or warm material is inserted. This feature may be used in both Radiance Mode or Level Control Mode.
• RFID Badge Reader: Users can be issued an individual RFID badge to avoid having to manually log into the system each time.
• Enhanced External Communications Gateway: Provides the ability for the freezer system to connect with local Wi-Fi or Ethernet networks and deliver text/email status or alarm notifications to users. Notifications are configurable. Also allows the set up of coordinated and/or timed filling.
• Operation at -190°C vapor phase with extended temperature hold.
• Built-in extraction fan to clear fog and bright LED internal light for fast sample visibility when lid opens.
• Hinged, auto-locking lid with password-protected access control.
• Limited battery backup, gas bypass.
• Back-up level measurement systems for increased sample security (Discrete RTD level control plus differential pressure level control).
• Stabilized carousel with top and bottom bearings.
• Plumbing manifold design that reduces maintenance.
• Fold-down full-sized stainless steel step (13 shelf models) and dual steps (15 shelf models).

Radiance Temperature Management System

The Radiance Temperature Management System enables the freezer to operate at any specific temperature between -20° and -190°C. In Radiance Mode, the freezer’s temperature is controlled with IC Biomedical’s exclusive atomization technology that evenly distributes microscopic nitrogen droplets to maintain the set temperature. Radiance can also be used to assist cooling when the freezer is accessed or warm material is inserted. This feature may be used in both Radiance Mode or Level Control Mode.

The patemt-pending Radiance+ LN2 atomization system uses directional nozzles to precisely manage internal sample chamber temperature below set point during both static storage and sample storage/ retrieval actions.

• AI-driven dynamic algorithms learn user behavior to anticipate and finely control temperature within the system, including automatic compensation for the addition of warm material and long-term lid open operation.
• With a motor-driven carousel (Radiance-SA), the tray rotation function is used to promote even distribution within the sample space yielding a very tight point-to-point temperature gradient with significantly less variation than mechanical compressor systems or other sacrificial refrigerant-based environments.
• Low-maintenance, low-energy system with significantly lower running costs than all available alternatives.

Standard on Revolution and Revolution-SA.

Motor Driven Carousel

The Revolution-SA motor-driven carousel rotates the sample tray in a fully hands-free operational mode, adding a greater level of automation and security. When prompted, the system aligns the required quadrant or rack direcly below the lid. This ergonomically friendly option eliminates the issue of manually rotating a heavy carousel. It also reduces lid-open time and allows less heat into the tank.

• In conjunction with individual user profiles, the motor drive lets the system administrator restrict access to specific locations within the freezer, such as specific quadrants or racks.
• Rack learning technology allows the user to program the position of individual freezer racks. These racks can be selected with the freezer closed, and the tray will be rotated to the required position for easy identification within the illuminated sample space.
• With a motor-driven carousel (Radiance-SA), the tray rotation function is used to promote even LN2 distribution within the sample space

Available only on the Revolution-SA.

RFID Badge Reader

Revolution Series users can be issued with an individual RFID badge to avoid having to manually log in to the system each time. The RFID login identifies the user and their associated permissions, unlocks the freezer lid and begins activity audit tracking associated with the login. Available as on option for Evolution and standard for

Revolution and Revolution-SA.

Enhanced External Communications Gateway

The Revolution Enhanced External Communications Gateway allows the freezer system to connect with local Wi-Fi or Ethernet networks and deliver text/email status or alarm notifications to users. Notifications are configurable. This communications package can also create it’s own off-line Wi-Fi network to accommodate synchronous operations.

Available as on option for Evolution and standard for Revolution and Revolution-SA.

The Bottom Line

Greater Peace of Mind

The major benefit for the Revolution Series user is the quality of the storage environment and the safety that the very extended temperature hold time can provide. The risk of an overnight failure unnoticed by staff, a unit accidentally unplugged or turned off by a cleaning crew or an ignored alarm is almost eliminated, ensuring that samples always have the maximum protection in a uniform, stable environment.

CONTROL
FEATURES

The Revolution Series control unit is designed to provide a simple, intuitive interface with an extremely robust, redundant control platform featuring state-of-the-art connectivity and simple user interaction.

• Large, intuitive touchscreen user panel.
• Industrial PLC controller providing robust control platform.
• Back-up level measurement systems for increased sample security (Discrete RTD level control plus differential pressure level control).
• Level- or temperature-based control.
• User management and audit-trail functions.

TEMPERATURE MANAGEMENT

•  Revolution freezers can be operated in Level Control Mode or Radiance Mode.
• Radiance cooling can be used as a temperature setpoint for any specific temperature between -20° and -190°C) with no liquid nitrogen in the reservoir. Radiance can also be used to assist cooling when the freezer is accessed or warm material is inserted. This feature may be used in both Radiance Mode or Level Control Mode.

EXTERNAL DATA MANAGEMENT

With the Enhanced External Communications Gateway option, the Revolution Series provide several options.

• Each control unit can operate as a web server allowing for external access to all operational functions remotely, as required by the administrator
• External messaging via SMS, text or email is available. Wired Modbus interface is available
• Automated alarm notification via SMS or email

SAMPLE
ACCESS

• An automatic defogging fan activates when the lid is opened. This clears the area for a quick, easy view of the samples quadrants.
• Built in LED lights provide better vision of samples
• Revolution-SA’s motor-driven carousel brings the sample quadrant under the opening. This reduces the amount of time the freezer is open for retrieval and storage functions
• For Evolution and Evolution users, a stabilized carousel with top and bottom bearings allows easier manual rotation

REDUNDANT
LEVEL SENSING

Back-up level measurement systems for increased sample security (Discrete RTD level control plus differential pressure level control).

ACCESS CONTROL

• Limiting and recording access to the sample space is a key compliance requirement. The Revolution freezer offers multiple access levels and full audit trail options:
• Hinged, auto-electronic locking lid requires password or RFID badge access control.
  Auto-locks after pre-set time (Revolution and Revolution-Sa). Evolution has a hinged, lockable lid.
• Revolution-SA’s motor-driven carousel can be used to restrict user access to specific quadrants or racks.
• User management allows for creation of unlimited user profiles with individual permissions.
• Full audit trail records all actions undertaken by a signed-in individual, including time and date stamps.
