Azenta - BioStore™ -190°C LN2-Based Automated Storage System for Cryo Cassettes

Features
BioStore -190°C LN2-Based Automated Storage System for Cryo Cassettes is the only fully automated liquid nitrogen based system, capable of handling a wide range of cryo cassettes including 250ml sizes; the new standard in secure, documented cryo cassette storage.
- Smooth, automated cassette handling
- Insulating tower for temperature stability
- Fully integrated inventory management
- Reports to support 21-CRF-11 compliance
- 17-21 days of emergency hold time
- Capacity of 990 cryo cassettes
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
- 20-day safety hold time below -135°C (Tg) with full manual access if power or LN2 are disrupted
- Comprehensive inventory management with vial-level ID, audit trail, reports, and LIMS connectivity
Software
- BioStore 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
