CREAPHARM BIOSERVICES has recently invested in -80°C nitrogen
tanks to provide Biotechs and Research key players with a new
solution to meet the challenges of ultra-low temperature storage.
Up to now, a biological product with a preservation temperature around -80°C is necessarily stored in a mechanical freezer, unless -196°C storage (nitrogen tank) is allowed.
With extensive experience in nitrogen technology management, CREAPHARM BIOSERVICES has recently invested in -80°C nitrogen tanks to bring new solutions to research institutes, biotech companies and pharmaceutical laboratories facing the new ultra-cold challenges.
Cold produced continously
Setpoint at -80°C
Possible capacity: 576 cryoboxes 2mL
Impact of 2min-door opening
> Immediate and significant thermal shock
Peak up to a max. of -36°C* then 2hrs to return to stable curve
*T°C at the hottest point
Impact of power failure (electricity)
> Rapid rise after power failure
Time to reach -60°C = 2hrs15
Return to -70°C in 2hrs after restoration of electricity
Dry tank (no liquid nitrogen)
Setpoint at -80°C
with authorized variation down to -90°C
Possible capacity: 780 cryoboxes 2mL
Impact of 15min-lid opening
> Constent temperature profile, unaffected by lid opening
Peak up to -77°C* then 1hrs30 to return to a stable curve
*T°C at the hottest point
Impact of power failure (electricity/nitrogen)
> No immediate impact
After last cooling cycle, time to reach -60°C = 9hrs
Return to -70°C in 1hrs30 after re-opening the nitrogen supply
The equipments received have been decontaminated, installed in the dedicated warehouse and qualified. Results are unequivocal.
Everything is now ready to store the first samples in nitrogen tanks at -80°C, those with the most stringent temperature stability requirements
CREAPHARM’s objective is to provide each client with the right solution for their specific needs.
Based on recent investments, the newly -80°C nitrogen tank option brings high-performant solution to companies looking for very consistent temperature profiles during ultra-cold storage.
Both the mechanical freezer and nitrogen tank technologies have advantages.
How to choose?
CREAPHARM’s cryopreservation experts guide their customers to select the best solution for their products, based on temperature stability requirement but not only: several factors such as samples category & volume to be stored, storage duration and access to nitrogen are also considered.
