Cryopreservation refers to the storage of a Living organism, cell or tissue at ultra-low temperatures such that it can be restored to the same viable state as before it was frozen. Storage for an indefinite amount of time requires samples to be maintained below the glass transition temperature of aqueous solutions, approximately -130°C, the temperature at which frozen water no longer sublimes and recrystallizes. Therefore -150°C mechanical freezers or liquid nitrogen storage tanks are required for long-term preservation. In the late 19th century Sir James Dewar, a Scottish chemist and...

Cryogenic ULT -150ºC freezers: dry storage Panasonic has established a worldwide reputation as a manufacturer of high quality medical equipment over the past forty years. During this time we have become the leader in the European ultra-low temperature market. In this field Panasonic has set the standard in a number of ways including the introduction of VIP panels, application specific compressors and the world’s first -152ºC ULT freezer. Where Panasonic took the initiative, the others followed. Together with the high standard of service we deliver it makes us a major player in the...

MDF-c2156van Cryogenic Freezer Cryogenic Freezers are well-known for maintaining uniform temperatures at -150ºC for the reliable, long-term preservation of cells and tissues. With thin vacuum insulation panel (VIP) walls, the MDF-C2156VAN Cryogenic Freezer can achieve more storage capacity than a conventionally insulated freezer without increasing footprint, while also maintaining superior temperature uniformity. Recrystallization mechanism Model: MDF-C2156VAN-PE Hexagonal crystal CRYOGENIC FREEZERS PROVIDE SAMPLE STABILITY -130ºc recrystallization point -150ºc cubic crystal A uniformity of...

Liquid Nitrogen freezer (Traditional vapour phase) mechanically refrigerated Cryogenic Freezer Comparison of temperature distribution in a liquid nitrogen freezer (vapour phase) and our MDF-C2156VAN mechanically refrigerated Cryogenic Freezer. The graph shows temperatures at different locations within the chamber. This data demonstrates that 100% of the MDF-C2156VAN storage space maintains uniform storage temperatures safely below -130ºC, while temperature in the LN2 vapour system is dependent on storage location. ULTRA-LOW -150ºC FREEZER WITH VIP PLUS INSULATION Cryogenic Freezers with...

CBS Isothermal Freezers: No liquid nitrogen contact Liquid nitrogen is, like all liquids, a possible transporter of contaminants. Contamination between samples, leakage of liquid nitrogen into sample vials during storage and contact of liquid nitrogen with skin are just some of the risks that can be eliminated with an Isothermal liquid nitrogen dry storage freezer from Custom BioGenic Systems (CBS). cBs isothermal freezers feature a patented liquid nitrogen jacket to provide uniform storage temperatures in the -190ºc range, free from liquid nitrogen contact. in the year 2000 custom Biogenic...

the innovative design of cBs isothermal freezers eliminates a number of major risks of traditional ln2 storage, including: • Cross contamination: studies have shown that viral, bacterial and fungal pathogens can survive after suspension in liquid nitrogen. infected samples can cross contaminate other samples in the same liquid nitrogen tank. • Loss of samples: storage directly in liquid nitrogen can make vials shrink. this may cause liquid nitrogen to seep into the vials, which on rewarming, expand and subsequently explode as nitrogen vapourizes inside the vials. • Health and safety:...
