ASKION C-line® hermetic storage

• 

The hermetic storage (HS) is a semi-automated cryostorage system that is independent of any sample format.

It includes the Access Tower, a deep-cool working space for the safe sample storage and retrieval as well as a modified, conventional nitrogen storage tank for cryogenic sample asservation.

The cryogenic sample reservation is achieved by the gas phase of LN at temperatures below -130 °C.

• 

• GMP-compliant cryopreservation, admitted to MedGV II A
• LIS/HIS connection via C-line® control - sample management and database
• cryogenic working area up to -100 °C
• automatic lock for Dewar transport container
• operation via touch screen

Storage systems

• STORAGE RACKS
  • storage racks for different sample formats, e.g. cryo vials, straws, blood magazines, ICEBREAKER
• FREE CONFIGURABLE
  • The storage racks can be adapted to the respective sample sizes.
  • storage levels in different versions as drawer or pivot plane
  • optimized ordering systems for maximum storage capacity
• STORAGE RACKS FOR ICEBREAKER
  • “Intelligent Tubes” – Direct connection between the rack compartments with ICEBREAKERS for a permanent sample tracking and computer-based reading of the inventory tubes in the cryogenic storage tank.
• STORAGE CAPACITY
  • straws 0,5 ml - ca. 80.000 pieces
  • Vials 0,5 ml - ca. 36.000 pieces
  • blood magazine 25 ml - ca. 1.000 pieces

Components

• UNINTERRUPTED COOLING CHAIN
  • The C-line® Dewar container maintained the uninterrupted cooling chain.
• SEMIAUTOMATIC CRYOGENIC STORAGE SYSTEM
  • motorized locking and transfer system
  • motor-assisted positioning of the four storage racks
• BARCODE-READER
  • scanning samples in cryogenic work space or in “hot zones” outside the work bench
  • C-line® Control monitors the sample belonging to the order. Miss withdrawals are rejected.
  • During storing, the intended position is displayed graphically.
• ASKION C-Line® HEATED GLOVES
  • adjustable heating power, uniform heat distribution for finger and palm
  • inside the gloves sensors control the temperature power for more retention time in the cold
  • attention (!) by long term retention time in the cold
