Biocision has launched three cryopreservation systems for cell-freezing applications: Coolcell FTS30; Coolcell SV2 and Coolcell 5ml.
Coolcell FTS30 is a large-capacity, high-density cell-freezing system; Coolcell SV2 is suitable for freezing cells in larger-diameter 2ml vials; and Coolcell 5ml is for large cryovial freezing.
The Coolcell freezing systems deliver a controlled freezing rate of -1C/min in a -80C freezer and offer high reproducibility of freezing profiles and consistent cell viability and function after thawing.
The alloy-based technology is said to allow maintenance-free operation and is an alternative to conventional freezing methods or programmable freezers.
Coolcell FTS30 uses an alloy-based micro-convection heat-removal technology to uniformly freeze 30-vial batches in a compact space.
Biocision said it is suitable for all cells, including cell lines, stem cells, yeast, blood and other primary cells.
The durable, insulated design of the Coolcell FTS30 ensures easy and safe portability of frozen cells, insertion and removal of 30 vials at once, and lids that open easily even when frozen.
The FTS30 can be used 'off the shelf' without any maintenance or pre-cooling, and prepares samples for archive in four hours.
It is sized to fit compactly inside any -80C freezer and holds 30 screw-cap 2ml cryotubes.
An inner removable FTS vial module enables efficient freezing, transfer and storage of vials in one step.
Alongside Coolcell FTS30, Biocision has introduced Coolcell SV2 for freezing larger-diameter vials, such as crystal zenith vials for freezing dendritic cells and other cells used in basic clinical research; and Coolcell 5ml for large-volume cryovials.
These two systems are also maintenance free, require no alcohol and deliver rate-controlled freezing of -1C/min in a -80C freezer.
