New Products Increase Cell Cryopreservation Options

By LabMedica International staff writers
Posted on 05 Jul 2011
Biotech researchers and other life scientists will soon have additional options for the collection, organization, protection, freezing, thawing, cooling, and cryopreservation of delicate biological samples.

A leader in the field of cryopreservation, BioCision (Mill Valley, CA, USA) has announced the launch of three new cryopreservation systems. More...
These innovative products include CoolCell FTS30, a large-capacity, high-density cell freezing system; CoolCell SV2 for freezing cells in larger diameter two milliliter vials; and CoolCell five milliliter for large cryovial freezing.

These products incorporate patented alloy-based technology that allows maintenance-free operation as an alternative to conventional freezing methods or programmable freezers. All CoolCell products are designed to deliver a controlled freezing rate of minus 1° C per minute in a -80 °C freezer, with high reproducibility of freezing profiles and consistent cell viability and function after thawing.

The CoolCell FTS30 holds 30 mL screw-cap cryotubes that are suitable for all types of cells including cell lines, stem cells, primary cells, and yeast. The unit may be used "off the shelf" without any maintenance or precooling. Samples are ready for archive storage in four hours packed in a unit sized to fit compactly inside any -80 °C freezer.

"In many areas of biological research, the ability to freeze and thaw samples of cells is absolutely critical to successful experiments. Yet, all too often, this simple procedure is subject to considerable and unnecessary variation, as well as high cost. CoolCell FTS30 solves this problem," said Brian Schryver, vice-president of research and development at BioCision. "Selling for a fraction of the price of commercial cell cryopreservation devices and sized to fit compactly inside any -80 degrees Celsius freezer, this new CoolCell makes a powerful research tool available to all scientists."
