Infrastructure Supporting Controlled Rate Freezers


What is Controlled Freezing?

Controlled freezing is a precise method used to cool sensitive materials at a regulated pace, preserving their structural integrity and biological function. Unlike conventional freezers that can form damaging ice crystals, controlled rate freezers use programmable systems to optimise the freezing curve. This approach is vital for protecting biological samples, transplant tissues, pharmaceutical products, and delicate food items. As CBS highlights, a slow, controlled freezing process is especially important for materials with large cellular structures to avoid cellular damage.

The Cryogenic Backbone of Controlled Freezers

Controlled rate freezers have transformed preservation practices across medical, pharmaceutical, and food industries. By enabling gradual and accurate cooling, these systems safeguard materials such as blood, cells, and tissues from freeze-related harm. At the heart of these systems is a cryogenic infrastructure that ensures consistent and reliable performance.

 

Cryogenic Controlled Rate Freezers – An Overview

There are two primary types of controlled rate freezers: mechanical and cryogenic. Cryogenic freezers are particularly valued for their ability to reach temperatures as low as -196°C using liquid nitrogen. Renowned for their dependability, these systems often continue to function during power outages, thanks to integrated backup power.

Key features include:

  • Liquid Nitrogen Supply: Connected to cryogenic tanks or dewars for continuous operation.
  • Uniform Cooling: Precision airflow and insulation ensure even nitrogen distribution.
  • Programmable Profiles: Software and sensors allow custom freezing curves tailored to different applications.
  • Multi-Industry Use: Suitable for medical cryopreservation, pharmaceutical research, and food storage.

Cryolab’s CBS Controlled Rate Freezer range exemplifies the best in cryogenic freezing technology.
