SmartFreezer® - Automated Cryo Freezer for Safe Sample Handling
Cryogenic or cryo freezers are hailed as the gold standard for the long-term storage of biological samples. At cryogenic temperatures (-150°C to -190°C) all biological activity is suspended which prevents degradation.Traditional cryogenic storage uses internal racking systems which house cryoboxes containing numerous sample vials. Vial retrieval from such storage systems is a manual process and ...

The story behind ATONA – embracing the capacitor
I often get asked about the ATONA Faraday amplification system that we use at Isotopx. The questions are usually along the lines of “how did you come up with the idea?”, or “was it hard to develop?”, typically ending with “what’s next?”. In this blog I’ll address those questions – with the obvious limitation that the know-how behind ATONA is ...
