Grant Bio Controlled Rate Freeze Thaw - CRFT

Controlled rate freezer and thawer that maximizes cell survival without using liquid nitrogen

Key features and benefits

• Accurate and reproducible control of cooling rates and sample temperatures
• A focus on maximizing cell survival rates
• Controlled and customizable 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 are available
• Command protocols available 

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 Controlled rate freezer and thawer that maximizes cell survival without using liquid nitrogen
