Thermo Scientific™ CryoMed™ Controlled-Rate Freezer with OPC UA, General Purpose

Thermo Fisher Scientific

For customers in cell and gene therapy and vaccine production, the CryoMed Controlled-Rate Freezer (CRF) with OPC UA provides precise, repeatable freezing results that protect samples from intracellular freezing. The CryoMed CRF features OPC UA serial communication capabilities, with standard factory certifications included. In addition the unit provides enhanced data traceability via a touch screen user interface and offers customizable freezing profiles while supporting 21 CFR part 11 and GMP needs. User-friendly operation with enhanced data traceability Intuitive touchscreen display allows for easy set-up, operation, and review of a freezing run OPC UA (ethernet) serial communication protocol Factory-issued certificates Six pre-set freezing profiles and space for up to 14 user-defined, “custom” freeze profiles Integrated touchscreen UI logs usage and events to support 21 CFR part 11 requirements USB data export of .pdf file run logs support 21 CFR part 11 User security: 3 levels of user accessibility “Run last” feature allows the same profile to be run consecutively with the touch of a button PC interface software provides remote operation capabilities, run review, and custom profile creation Real-time run monitoring for sample protection Chamber and sample temperatures are monitored by Type T thermocouples, eliminating lag time and providing “real time” responsiveness Standard alarms to alert users of thermocouple failures, heater malfunction, high/low temperature limits, temperature tracking, power failure, and completion of run Remote alarm contacts Optional thermal printer Reliable temperature performance for high throughput usage Dual solenoid valves are designed to balance LN2 injection volume for precise temperature control and accelerated freezing Preventative maintenance indicator for LN2 solenoid replacement limits downtime Temperature control and uniformity achieved via an air-handling and liquid nitrogen injection ring system Compatible with VHP cleaning techniques Environmentally friendly insulating foam Type 304 stainless steel with exterior powder-coat finish The CryoMed CRF with OPC UA is available in three sizes – 17L, 34L and 48L which can be purchased with and without a printer.
