Ever had a flu shot that didn't work? Most vaccines are rendered useless if they are frozen, even for a short time. That's shy protection of the nations' vaccine supply depends in part on a new generation of high performance refrigerators developed by Panasonic Healthcare. Proper storage of vaccines requires tight temperature control that common refrigerators cannot deliver. Director of Product Group Joe LaPorte discusses what is meant by "the quality of cold", and why it is essential for safeguarding vaccines.

Panasonic Healthcare Business Intelligence and Product Manager Carl Radosevich discusses oxygen control in the CO2 incubator and how Panasonic Healthcare is opening new frontiers in cell culture as more researchers elect to dial in both oxygen and CO2 to replicate the in vivo environment in vitro. Carl discusses how these incubators create safe environments to help achieve reproducibility in scientific investigations.

Director of Product Group and original ENERGY STAR development committee member Joe LaPorte discusses the emergence of ENERGY STAR ratings in scientific refrigeration and the impact of ENERGY STAR testing on the selection of controlled temperature refrigerators, freezers and ultra-low freezers for storage of high value biological materials.
