Skid Crate Improvements
All MVE cryogenic freezers will be shipped in wooden crates fastened with screws on the front and top panels effective immediately. Without excess damage to wooden panels the use of screws instead of staples will allow service technicians to remove the cryogenic freezer, enabling greater opportunity if necessary for the end-user to reuse the skid/crate.

Differences in HE Versions
About the different HE versions, there has been some confusion and these differences are chart out below.
HE – Stainless steel turntable with pie shaped divisions, operates at -150°C,
HE+ –Similar as HE except has more usable height and aluminum turntable
HE Gen 2 – Similar to HE except the turntable has rectangular divisions
HE+ Gen 2– Similar to HE Gen2 except has more usable height
ETERNE – Aluminum turntable with pie shaped divisions, operates at -190°C
For more detailed information see the table on next page.

MVE Naming Convention Change
Along with the introduction of the latest cryogenic Tec 3000 controller we have also taken this occasion to review our product model naming convention in an attempt to alleviate the explanation of model differences to our customers. This latest convention is more in par with our competitors in that model capacities are identified without difficulty. Given below is a chart viewing old and new model names.
Notes:
· Although not listed below, gas bypass and battery backup options will still be in the description as
· GB and BB following the F signifying full auto.
· Units sold overseas will carry an MDD CE label for European Certificate validation
· The “P” following the model size designates “pie shaped” turntable sections.
· The “R” following the model size designates “rectangular shaped turntable sections.
· -150 signify HE models and -190 dignifies Eterne models.

Power Supply Replacement for Cryogenic Freezer
If the customer needs an replacement of MDC power supply on their cryogenic freezer, henceforth an existing will be replaced with a Jerome power supply kit (P/N 11943012 for 110V, P/N 11929886 for 220V), which includes the power supply, power cord, bracket, and screws.

Cryogenic Product Price Increase
Stainless steel and aluminum are the main components of our cryogenic products which have continually increased in price as demand is exceeding supply. In addition, the increasing cost of fuel has impacted us through both transportation and supplier pricing. We have placed a main focus on reducing our manufacturing costs to counteract these costs through lean production and careful management of our raw materials. Even though these efforts have allowed us to take in a considerable amount of the price increases, however in order to recoup our losses, we were forced to increase prices by an average of 2% effective July 1st. The mass of our competitors have raised their base prices within the last few months and feels certain that our new pricing levels along with the new TEC-3000 cryogenic controller will make possible for you to carry on to gain business in your territory. Starting July 1st 2006 these new prices will be applied to all new orders received.

TEC-2000 Replacement
For a time, we will go on to carry the TEC-2000 though the TEC-3000 will replace the TEC-2000. Please make sure that the exact controller is ordered because there are two versions of the TEC-2000 with different front panels. The listed part numbers include the assembled stand alone and front panel.
- TEC-2000 controller with symbolic front panel (Europe)
- TEC-2000 controller with numeric front panel (Domestic and where MDD & CE are not requires)

The Cryosystem 6000 Goes to Antarctica
A CryoSystem 6000 is employed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to maintain data acquisition equipment at temperatures as low as -90°C. To make sure exact readings their equipment used to measure temperature, wind velocity, and humidity needs to be kept relatively warm. The NOAA immersed their equipment in a warm oil bath inside the CryoSystem to achieve this. The vacuum insulated dewar consistently keeps the heat out in cryogenic conditions and in this application it does the reverse too.

Cryogenic Cork and Cover Replacement Quotes
The manufacturing costs on many of our cryogenic service lids fluctuate rapidly due to the low volume production. As a result of this, it is not possible for us to maintain up-to-date pricing information in our inventory system. To simplify the purchasing process, before placing an order you should call in to obtain a quote on price and delivery time. This enables the customer service to get updated cost and delivery times from purchasing to insure a precise quote.
