Programmable (Stepwise) Controlled Freezing Device

The most critical parameter for all biological materials is viability. Sperm, embryos, cells, bone marrow, cord blood, biobank materials, etc. must be stored by freezing. They are ideal solutions for efficient freezing processes in many areas such as IVF centers, Bone Marrow Transplant Centers, Cord Blood Banks, Pharmaceutical Companies, Artificial Insemination Centers, Reproduction and Artificial Insemination Laboratories. The freezing solutions added during the process and the cold air applied to the biological material can cause cell stress and ruptures. When biological materials are placed directly into storage units such as -40°C, -80°C, -86°C, -150°C, -152°C deep freezers, -196°C liquid nitrogen or above -190°C liquid nitrogen vapor storage, a decrease in viability has been observed. Therefore, Programmable (Stepwise) Controlled Freezing Devices are widely used in centers.

With advanced technology SY-LAB Programmable (Stepwise) Controlled Freezing devices, biological materials are frozen step by step within a defined program. Parameters such as how many degrees per minute cooling will occur, how many minutes the process will take, and how long the system will wait for the cold to penetrate the cells are entered into the program. This allows cells to be frozen according to the durability of each biological material, and later thawed under controlled conditions when needed. In this way, the viability of biological materials is preserved at the highest level.

SY-LAB Programmable Controlled Freezing Devices

Our SY-LAB brand Programmable Controlled Freezing devices offer suitable solutions for many freezing processes with different sizes and accessories. Especially for straws used in sperm freezing, they have a capacity of up to 11,040 pieces at once, 2,256 cryovials, 32 bone marrow cassettes, and approximately 100 cord blood cassettes. Smaller models are also available, freezing only 40 straws and 36 cryovials for small-scale sperm freezing.

Controlled (Stepwise) freezing devices with liquid nitrogen supply perform operations reliably, quickly, and stably. With our SY-LAB devices, user-friendly interfaces, reporting screens, sample and chamber sensors allow validated systems to generate reports, review records, document past patient data, and record every stage of the process. With user authorizations, it is also possible to log which personnel performed which operations and to restrict which operations users can perform.

The entire process report can be documented into a patient file. These files can include patient information, doctor details, personnel involved, protocol information, process steps, possible alarm conditions, and freezing protocol graphs, all exportable in PDF format for documentation.
