Properties

• Available in two sizes
• Compatible with a range of labware, e.g. cryoboxes, vials, microplates
• Full vial or cassette level inventory tracking
• Complete -190°C vapor storage environment*
• SW is capable of providing accurate real-time audit reports
• LIMS connectivity and system partitioning for shared use
• Insulating tower temperature protection for non-targeted tubes
• Ergonomic design for simple user experience and minimized injury risk
• 17-23 day hold time in case of catastrophic interruption of electrical or LN2 supply (depending on system size)
• Proven technology: based on Azenta Life Sciences expertise and industry leading cryogenic freezers

*Temperature variation is +/- 6°C due to thermocouple variation and thermal loading

Sample Integrity, Security & Tracking

• Consistent -190°C temperatures achieved for from top to bottom using LN2 vapor
• A sample integrity calculator protects samples from excessive warming by predicting their temperatures based on experimental evidence
• Integrity is further enhanced by protecting innocent samples during storage and retrieval transient exposures
• Racks are quickly pulled into an insulated sleeve, significantly slowing transient warming
• 20-day safety hold time below -135°C (Tg) with full manual access if power or LN2 are disrupted
• Comprehensive inventory management with vial-level ID, audit trail, reports, and LIMS connectivity

Software

• Controller software and touchscreen enable efficient order management and execution
• Its easy-to-use graphical interface permits tube-level inventory management plus sample storage, retrieval, and auditing
• The software monitors storage environment data and has comprehensive error handling
• LIMS connectivity is available for real-time sample management
• Full 21-CFR-11 reporting capability is available
• Administrator-defined libraries and access control can optimize the system as a shared resource
