Biobank cryopreservation tank

for scientific research

Overview
Consarctic supplies LN₂-based cryogenic storage systems designed for biobanks. The solutions provide validated, energy-conscious and fail-safe infrastructures for long-term sample preservation, prioritizing sample stability, full traceability and operational safety.

Key benefits

• Stable temperatures down to −196 °C
• Automated LN₂ supply and automatic filling of cryogenic containers
• Continuous sensor-based monitoring of temperature, fill level and pressure
• High operational reliability through redundancy and dual/backup supply concepts
• Validated implementation and GMP-aligned commissioning (IQ/OQ)

How the solution supports the cryopreservation workflow
Consarctic delivers complete LN₂ infrastructures and configurable cryogenic containers adapted to sample types, volumes and laboratory workflows. The system enables controlled cooling, secure transfer, monitored storage and automated LN₂ replenishment to prevent degradation and maintain long-term integrity.

System components and capabilities

• Central LN₂ storage tanks, vacuum lines and configurable cryogenic tanks
• Sensor-based control systems for automated supply and reduced manual intervention
• Real-time monitoring, alarm management, audit trail and automated documentation
• Modular, energy-efficient designs for integration into existing laboratory and building infrastructures
• Remote monitoring capability and qualified commissioning support (IQ/OQ)

Operational reliability & safety
Systems incorporate redundancy, dual supply pathways and backup concepts to secure decades of stable storage with minimal maintenance. Regular maintenance schedules and remote monitoring increase availability and reduce operational risk.

Applications & process-critical factors
From sample preparation through freezing, transfer and final storage, critical parameters such as cooling rate, temperature gradients and nitrogen levels are continuously monitored and controlled to preserve sample quality over time.
