Grant CRF-1 Controlled Rate Freezer
Grant has been a leading manufacturer of customized thermal control solutions over the past decades, fulfilling the varying needs of each application.
The CRF-1 is liquid nitrogen and cryogen free controlled rate freezer brings accuracy, precision and reproducibility to biological cryopreservation. The cooling rate of the CRF-1 is precisely controlled, ensuring accuracy and reproducibility throughout the freezing profile, especially for the important nucleation/seeding phase. This provides optimal recovery of cells on thawing.
• Liquid nitrogen and cryogen-free
• Accurate and reproducible control of cooling rates and sample temperatures
• Can be programmed to offer both linear and non-linear cooling profiles
• Samples can be nucleated/seeded in-situ
• Un-interruptible Power Supply (UPS) is available as an optional accessory to ensure complete cycle run even if power fails
• CE marked for laboratory use
Suitable for cryopreservation research of a wide range of samples in cryovials, straws, bags, microplates and Matrix-96-well block plates in the following areas:
• Transgenic embryos research
• Stem cell research
• Clinical and research samples, e.g. lymphocytes and tissue cell lines in conventional cryovials
• Various mammalian cells including cardiomyocytes, adipose, liver and muscle
• Cord blood derived stem cells
• Adherent cells and stem cells in microplates
• Cell suspensions in numbered/barcoded arrays
• Robotic integration – the CRF-1 has also successfully been integrated into robotic systems
• Suitable for applications in veterinarian IVF
