Product Details
The CryoArc Tera -190°C LN2-Based Automated Storage System combines the sample protection, safety, and accessibility of a high-efficiency LN2 freezer with advanced automation features. The CryoArc Tera offers advanced features such as real-time inventory control, cold-chain management, and significantly improved customer experience compared to manual access freezers. As a result, the CryoArc Tera enhances sample management and reliability, setting a new standard for automated storage solutions in the industry. The standard version of Tera holds cryotubes and 25ml or 50ml cassettes, fitting up to 630 2” cryoboxes or equivalent.
As cellular therapy products move from discovery through clinical trial and commercialization phases, many companies are standardizing 250ml cryobags for storage and delivery of high-value product. The CryoArc Tera -190°C LN2-Based Automated Storage System for Cryo Cassettes brings simple, automated management for 250ml cryo cassettes to the market for the first time, enabling users to avoid the risk of errors and variability inherent in manual inventory handling. The addition of automated tracking and handling for 250mL cryo cassettes marks a significant enhancement to the CryoArc product line.
