Liquid nitrogen free and cryogen free controlled rate freezer for research into the
cryopreservation of a wide range of material including: embryos, stem cells, mammalian cells,
spermatozoa, antibodies, tissue sections and rodent organs. The CRF-1 brings accuracy,
precision and reproducibility to biological cryopreservation.
Unlike conventional liquid nitrogen based controlled rate cooling equipment, the CRF-1 greatly reduces the risk of contamination and can be used in clean rooms and barrier facilities. The CRF-1 fits neatly on a bench-top. Its performance in terms of cell viability after freezing is comparable or better than standard liquid nitrogen freezers.
The CRF-1 will cool down to -100˚C with straws.
Operation is simple and can be carried out with or without a PC; data can be logged via PC software and cooling profiles are directly displayed on PC screen. Different cooling profiles are available from a drop down menu and customised profiles can be written.
