Cryobank CryoDiffusion_Consarctic of classic style
Description
Characteristics
CryoDiffusion_Consarctic Cryobank is designed on the basis of classical cryo-storage facilities of Cryo Diffusion S.A.S. (France) and software cryo-freezers from Consarctic GmbH (Germany). Cryo Diffusion produces a wide range of cryogenic storage tanks made of stainless steel (BF, SD, CD, CF) and aluminum (LO, BR and B series) for storage of all formats of bio-samples (cryopacks, cryo-tubes, cryosolomines, etc.).
At the present time the method of storing the frozen bio-samples in liquid nitrogen (-196оС) is considered obsolete and unsafe because of possible cross contamination, difficulties in manipulating the shelves in liquid nitrogen and the gradual build-up of icing inside the cryo-storage.
Cryo Diffusion offers solutions without these disadvantages:
- storage in liquid nitrogen vapor at a temperature below -150°C, where liquid nitrogen occupies small column with height of 20-25cm at the bottom of the cryogenic storage, and the storage system is above the column of liquid in liquid nitrogen vapor;
- storage in dry gas phase (Dry Storage) at a temperature below -180°C, in which the storage area of bio-samples is separated from the vertical cavity with liquid nitrogen throughout the height of the cryogenic storage by a thin metal barrier. This makes possible to maintain a temperature close to the temperature of liquid nitrogen along the whole height of the cryogenic storage with minimum gradient, while the bio-samples are in a dry gaseous phase.
This technology was first developed and implemented by Cryo Diffusion.
This cryobank can include a modern cryogenic infrastructure, an automatic control system of fueling, gas analysis and ventilation, as well as database with bio-samples history.
