The BioBank is the only automated -80°C sample library with all robotics outside of the cold area (for maximum reliability.)

Samples are stored at -80°C.

• The cold storage area is based on a proven chest freezer design that keeps temperatures uniformly cold.
• The unique rack storage system minimizes exposure of the samples to ambient temperatures, and allows easy sample access.
• Frost buildup never compromises the sample or interferes with the sample management process, with chamber air being maintained at < 5% relative humidity at all times.

The BioBank is ideal for the storage and retrieval of sensitive biological samples:

Store more samples - The BioBank is an automated sample storage and retrieval system with a capacity of nearly 1000 microplates.

Protect the samples from the effects of heat - Storage temperature of -80°C keeps cells and tissues viable in applications such as biorepositories, cell libraries, and libraries of very thermosensitive molecules.

Protect the samples in case of unexpected problems - Based on a high quality -80°C chest freezer, the Biobank is fitted with safety assurance systems such as CO₂ backup and remote alarm. Robot maintenance can be performed without opening the cold area.

Fast and reliable storage and retrieval – The BioBank has a patented rack and robotic system that optimizes automated storage and retrieval of samples. The relative humidity in the robotics enclosure is always < 5%, minimizing frost buildup at all times. Samples are always easily accessible.
