Controlled Rate Freeze Thaw - CRFT
Controlled rate freezer and thawer that maximises cell survival without using liquid nitrogen
Applications
- Transgenic embryology research
- Stem cell research
- Clinical and research samples, e.g. lymphocytes and tissue cell lines in conventional cryovials
- Various mammalian cells including cardiomyocytes, adipose, liver and muscle
- Cord blood derived stem cells
- Adherent cells and stem cells in microplates
- Cell suspensions in numbered/barcoded arrays
- System integrations
- Suitable for applications in veterinarian IVF
Key features and benefits
- Accurate and reproducible control of cooling rates and sample temperatures
- A focus on maximising cell survival rates
- Controlled and customisable freezing and thawing
- Linear and non-linear freezing profiles
- Liquid nitrogen, alcohol and cryogen free – no need for ‘topping up’
- Interchangeable heads for flexibility (ordered separately)
- Free of charge software allows you to design, track, export and report temperature profiles
- Easy to use and samples can be nucleated/seeded in-situ
- Low running costs: estimated at 1% of liquid nitrogen-controlled rate freezing and runs on a 24V supply
- Temperature range of -100°C to 30°C*
- Servicing and calibration options available
- Command protocols available
