Cell cryopreservation freezer CRFT

portableautomatic defrostelectric

Description
The CRFT is a cryogen-free controlled-rate freezer and thawer designed for reproducible cryopreservation of biological samples. It provides precise control of freezing and thawing profiles, including accurate control during the nucleation/seeding phase, to support high recovery rates of cells and tissues. The unit operates with or without a PC and supports interchangeable heads for multiple sample formats.

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
