Controlled rate freezer for biological samples

Ensure the integrity of biological samples with precise temperature control, eliminating the need for hazardous refrigerants, while maintaining consistent conditions for cryopreservation.

Controls Freezing Rate for Biological Preservation

The FTS BioCool™ Controlled Rate Freezer from Scientific Products is designed to address the critical need for accurate cryopreservation across life sciences, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology industries. It employs mechanical refrigeration to maintain precise temperature control, eliminating the risks associated with liquid nitrogen. This freezer is ideal for applications involving biological samples such as embryos, tissues, and blood, supporting safe and efficient cryopreservation processes. With a temperature range from -40°C to +30°C and a 1.5 L bath capacity, it allows for flexible batch operations. User-specified ramp control with up to ten segments ensures tailored temperature profiles, while a built-in magnetic stirrer and vortex breaker maintain thermal consistency. Designed for bench-top use, it integrates seamlessly into laboratory and R&D environments, offering a customizable approach with container holder racks available to suit specific sample requirements.
