FREEZE CONTROL Models

Freeze Control Systems

PreProgrammed Models

(CL2200, CL5500, CL8000)

The customer may specify target temperatures, rates, and holds on preprogrammed temperature controller models. Sets of programs are written and stored onto a single memory "chip", which is easily user-replaceable. Final program state can be "Hold temperature at finish" or "Freefall at finish." If the customer requires future program changes, a replacement program chip can be provided. Preprogrammed mode offers a level of increased security, because the programs cannot be inadvertently deleted or modified.

User-Programmable Models

(CL3300, CL8000)

CryoGenesisT Version 4 temperature control software is included with user-programmable models. This Windows®-based software allows the user to design temperature protocols by generating a set of ramps (including target temperatures, rates, holds, and alarms); manage protocol libraries (save, load, edit); execute protocols (use real time data, allow user interactions); log progress and allow for clinical validation documentation. As with preprogrammed models, final program state may be "Hold" or "Freefall" to the temperature of LN2.

CL2200

The FREEZE CONTROL CL2200 system is an elegantly straightforward biofreezer that incorporates a preprogrammed temperature controller. Extremely simple to operate, this system is the most affordable available and has a temperature range suitable for most applications.

  • Preprogrammed temperature controller with a temperature control range of +20°C to -43°C.
  • Eight standard or custom resident programs
  • CC23S Straw Cryochamber that accommodates 23 x 0.5ml or 46 x 0.25 ml straws.
  • Your choice of:
    • a 1.5 liter insulated and covered metal canister LN2 cryobath for freezing cycles of up to 90 minutes
    • a 2.3 liter DX2 EPS foam cryobath with PTEG clear lid, for freezing cycles up to 2 hours
    • a 3.8 liter cryobath for freezing cycles up to 3.5 hours

CL3300

The FREEZE CONTROL CL3300 system is a computer-operated and user-programmable biofreezer. Perfect for routine or research applications, the 3300 system provides ultimate flexibility in the creation and execution of temperature protocols. This system requires an IBM- compatible computer to function; however, the computer system requirements are minimal. Older computers may be placed in service with this system.

  • Preprogrammed temperature controller with a temperature control range of +40°C to -86°C.
  • CC23S Straw Cryochamber that accommodates 23 x 0.5ml or 46 x 0.25 ml straws.
  • Your choice of:
    • a 1.5 liter insulated and covered metal canister LN2 cryobath for freezing cycles of up to 90 minutes
    • a 2.3 liter DX2 EPS foam cryobath with PTEG clear lid, for freezing cycles up to 2 hours
    • a 3.8 liter cryobath for freezing cycles up to 3.5 hours

CL5500

The CL5500 system comes with eight standard or custom resident programs. The CL5500 system is ideal for routine lab applications where the range of controlled temperature will not exceed -43°C.

This system is also perfect for the mobile embryo transfer practitioner. With its built-in power pack, the CL5500 offers failsafe protection against power failures or blackouts. The specimens being cryopreserved will never be affected by such incidents. From a full charge, running time is 3 to 4 hours (continuous) in absence of AC mains power.

  • Preprogrammed temperature controller with a temperature control range of +20°C to -43°C.
  • CC23S Straw Cryochamber that accommodates 23 x 0.5ml or 46 x 0.25 ml straws.
  • Your choice of:
    • a 1.5 liter insulated and covered metal canister LN2 cryobath for freezing cycles of up to 90 minutes
    • a 2.3 liter DX2 EPS foam cryobath with PTEG clear lid, for freezing cycles up to 2 hours
    • a 3.8 liter cryobath for freezing cycles up to 3.5 hours

CL8000

The FREEZE CONTROL CL8000 system is a user programmable/preprogrammed biofreezer incorporating a controller with temperature acquisition and datalogging capability. Combined with CryoGenesis V4 software for Windows, a CC23S Straw Cryochamber and either the LNS, LNL, or DX2 Cryobath, this system is perfect for use in a busy lab for routine or research applications. When connected to a computer, the CL8000 provides a facility for full validation of actual freezing cycles that can be assigned to specific file names.

The CL8000 is fully user-programmable when run from any IBM compatible PC operating under Windows 3.1 or higher, using our Windows software, CryoGenesis V4. The CL8000 can also be preprogrammed to allow the system to operate without a computer. Up to 16 user-specified programs can be preinstalled.

When connected to a PC, the CL8000's built-in temperature acquisition facility allows CryoGenesis to datalog actual specimen temperature.

Validation of cryopreservation process can also be performed via an analog chart recorder, using the included temperature output jack.

  • Preprogrammed temperature controller with a temperature control range of +40°C to -120°C.
  • CC23S Straw Cryochamber that accommodates 23 x 0.5ml or 46 x 0.25 ml straws.
  • Your choice of:
    • a 1.5 liter insulated and covered metal canister LN2 cryobath for freezing cycles of up to 90 minutes
    • a 2.3 liter DX2 EPS foam cryobath with PTEG clear lid, for freezing cycles up to 2 hours
    • a 3.8 liter cryobath for freezing cycles up to 3.5 hours
