The Minus Eighty Degrees Celsius Laboratory Freezer for ISS [International Space Station](MELFI) is a fully integrated rack facility, hosted in an ISPR [International Standard Payload Rack], to condition, freeze and store life sciences and biological samples aboard the Space Station. MELFI will also be used to transport frozen specimens to/from the Station flying fully powered inside the Mini-Pressurised Logistic Module aboard the Space Shuttle.... MELFI characteristics :[a] Volume : 300 litres total in 4 independent dewars(minimum configuration 1 dewar at-80 °C; 2-4 dewars in combinations of 3 modes : below-68 °C,-37 °C to-23 °C, +0. 5 °C to +6 °C; [b] Temperatures maintained for 8 hours without power Sample storage : cell culture 1-10 ml, fluids(blood, media, etc.) 1-500 ml, tissue 2-10 ml, whole specimens 10-500 ml Cooling time(from +23 °C to-68 °C) : 2 ml 18-25 min; 10 ml 44-56 min; 500 ml 460 min.  2, record 1, English, - minus%20eighty%20degrees%20celsius%20laboratory%20freezer

MELFI [Minus Eighty degree celsius Laboratory Freezer for ISS] est un congélateur/réfrigérateur destiné à la Station spatiale internationale et plus particulièrement aux modules américains (USLab) et japonais (Japanese Experiment Module : JEM). MELFI permet le refroidissement et le stockage d'une large variété d'échantillons (de 2 à 1000 ml) issus des différentes expériences de science de la vie menées à bord de l'ISS [International Space Station]. Le volume de stockage des échantillons est de 300 litres répartis en quatre enceintes froides (dewars) pouvant fonctionner indépendamment et à trois niveaux de température différents (+4 °C, -26 °C et -80 °C). La production de froid est assurée par une machine cryogénique fonctionnant selon le cycle thermodynamique de Brayton [...] Un circuit d'azote permet d'assurer la distribution du froid vers les enceintes froides.  5, record 1, French, - cong%C3%A9lateur%20de%20laboratoire%20%C3%A0%20%2D80%20%C2%B0C

Minus Eighty-degree Laboratory Freezer for ISS(MELFI) is a storage unit that will maintain samples below-68°C(-90. 4°F) throughout a mission life cycle. The MELFI will provide a temperature-controlled volume of not less than 300 liters(10. 6 ft³) in four Dewar-type modules(vacuum-insulated containers). Each Dewar will have a capacity of not less that 75 liters(2. 6 ft³) of internal storage volume.  2, record 2, English, - Dewar%2Dtype%20module

MELFI dewars are cylindrical in shape and contain four "pie" shaped segments called Trays [.] Each Tray can accommodate samples in box type containers and vial holders of different shapes and sizes. In addition, the ISS [International Space Station] is investigating the development of middeck locker compatible nitrogen dewars sized to accommodate MELFI trays. These middeck dewars could then be flown on non-MPLM [Multipurpose Logistics Module] flights in the Orbiter middeck or in Spacehab.  2, record 3, English, - MELFI%20dewar
