Freeze Control Systems

 

Carry Cases

Horizontal Case Vertical Case

The Horizontal Carry Case accommodates all standard FREEZE CONTROL® systems with a 1.5 litre Cryobath where the Upright Carry Case has been designed to accommodate all standard systems with the larger 3.8 litre Cryobath. Their rugged construction and internal foam cushioning provide protection during shipping or storage, with a total weight of 9-15 kilograms (depending upon system specifications).

CryoBaths
Cryobaths

FREEZE CONTROL® CryoBaths are insulated Liquid Nitrogen containers, available in two capacities.

A range of lids is available to suit the type of CryoChamber being used.

The Large CryoBath has a capacity of 3.8 litres, allowing approximately 4 hours of continuous operation before refilling is required. Users of the 60 Ampoule CryoChamber require a Large CryoBath to accommodate the wide diameter of this chamber.

The Small CryoBath has a capacity of 1.5 litres, giving approximately 2 hours of run time before a refill is needed.

CryoChamber Lids
Cryo Lids

CryoChamber Lids are available in three sizes, to suit a wide variety of straws and ampoules.

The Standard lid is 20mm tall, and accomodates most standard ½ml or ¼ml straws, and 1ml or 2ml ampoules.

The Tall lid is 60mm tall, for extended length ½ml or ¼ml straws.
It requires a modified CryoBath lid when used with the Small CryoBath, but not the Large CryoBath.

The Very Tall lid is 120mm tall, to accommodate double-length straws.
Tall lids require a modified CryoBath lid.

CryoGenesis™ Software

Software

CryoGenesisT V5 is temperature control software developed by CryoLogic for use with its FREEZE CONTROL ® programmable temperature controllers. It has a new, simple user interface, advanced record management, and includes USB support.

With CryoGenesis V5:

  • Customised Temperature Protocols can be created.
  • Protocol execution is monitored and controlled.
  • Information about freezing operations can be recorded.
  • Freezing operations are quickly and easily started.
  • Recorded Cryochamber temperatures can be displayed.
  • A complete history of all past freezing operations is kept.

CG V5 runs under Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000 and XP operating systems. It can be run concurrently with other computer tasks.

CL-P10 Power Pack

Power Pack

 

Car Cable

The CL-P10 is a dedicated Power Pack , manufactured by CryoLogic for the FREEZE CONTROL® range of freezer systems.
The Power pack is designed to provide an alternative source of power to the freezers when there is a power failure, or when a mains source is not available.

It is suitable for use on the bench top, in the field, and from a vehicle. The CL-P10 also has a built in charger, which will recharge the battery from mains.

An optional car cable is also available. The Car Cable is specifically designed for connecting the CL-P10 (or CL-5500 Temperature Controller) to an external 12V source, commonly a motor vehicle 12V electrical system. The standard Car Cable is 2 metres in length, but a different length can be specified.

Internal Temperature Programs

Programs for Pre-installation are normally supplied by the customer. These Programs should include a STARTING temperature (°C), and a FINAL STATE for the program (Hold or FreeFall) . Note: the temperature continues to be monitored / displayed past the end of the program.

Each ramp should contain a RATE of temperature change (°C/min), a TARGET temperature (°C) for that ramp, and a HOLD period (min) for maintaining the target temperature before continuing to the next ramp.

The programs may also show some text to indicate the application of the particular program, and in the case of CL8800 programs a BELL (X) for sounding at the end of particular ramps (after the Hold time) may be added.

When the final state is Hold the temperature controller will maintain the last specified target temperature until the program is interrupted or LN2 is exhausted.

When a final state of FreeFall is selected the controller will allow the temperature to drop from the last specified target temperature towards the temperature of Liquid Nitrogen (-196°C), at a decreasing rate governed by the specimen temperature, the nature of the chamber, and the load.

If you need more information on how to design temperature programs, contact CryoLogic.

Programs can be replaced. CryoLogic provides a programming service for a modest fee. Submit your new program requirements in the format described above, clearly identify the machine for which the programs are required, including Type and Serial Number. The new program information is installed on a chip and is despatched with listings and graphs, and instructions for removing the old chip and installing the new one.

Note: Program Chips cannot be exchanged between different model controllers.

TL-13 Temperature Logger

Logger

The TL-13 Temperature Logging Module, with CryoGenesisT V4 or V5, is designed for use with FREEZE CONTROL ® systems.
It is connected between a computer and a FREEZE CONTROL ® temperature controller.
The Module allows specimen temperatures to be recorded in a computer during freeze/thaw operations for plotting and subsequent printing.

The CG V4 or V5 software is also used with FREEZE CONTROL ® programmable freezers to design temperature protocols, manage protocol libraries, execute protocols, and log execution progress.
