Product Details

The CryoArc Deca -190°C LN2-Based Automated Storage System provides researchers and biobank managers with a best-in-class storage solution for cellular products and biosamples. The system combines a high-efficiency LN2 stainless steel freezer with the Azenta Life Sciences technology and software to ensure the highest sample integrity.

The CryoArc Deca -190°C LN2-Based Automated Storage System offers the greatest sample protection and comprehensive inventory management and control with a superior user experience at an affordable price. Targeted and non-targeted samples are protected from warming above Tg (glass transition) throughout sample retrieval. Quality is assured by viewing user access, sample inventory, history, and audit-trail reports. Emergency situation protection provides greater than 15 days of temperature stability in the case of energy or LN2 loss.

When this Automated Storage System is paired with end-to-end sample management solutions that integrate seamlessly with your workflow, you can optimize your efficiency and maximize sample utilization.

  • 15 days hold time in case of catastrophic interruption of electrical or LN2 supply
  • Proven technology: based on Azenta Life Sciences expertise and industry leading cryogenic freezers

*Temperature variation is +/- 6°C due to thermocouple variation and thermal loading

Sample Integrity, Security & Tracking
  • Consistent -190°C temperatures achieved for from top to bottom using LN2 vapor
  • A sample integrity calculator protects samples from excessive warming by predicting their temperatures based on experimental evidence
  • Integrity is further enhanced by protecting innocent samples during storage and retrieval transient exposures
  • Racks are quickly pulled into an insulated sleeve, significantly slowing transient warming
  • Comprehensive inventory management with vial-level ID, audit trail, reports, and LIMS connectivity
Software
  • Controller software and touchscreen enable efficient order management and execution
  • Its easy-to-use graphical interface permits tube-level inventory management plus sample storage, retrieval, and auditing
  • The software monitors storage environment data and has comprehensive error handling
  • LIMS connectivity is available for real-time sample management
  • Full 21-CFR-11 reporting capability is available
  • Administrator-defined libraries and access control can optimize the system as a shared resource
