Planer Kryo 570-16 Controlled-Rate Freezer
Brief Description The Planer Kryo 570-16 is a controlled-rate freezing system designed for the precise and reproducible cryopreservation of cells and biological specimens. It supports fully programmable freezing protocols across a wide temperature range, enabling precise control of thermal transitions and optimization of post-thaw cell viability. The system operates using liquid nitrogen (LN₂) supplied by the central cryogenic infrastructure of the biobank.Specifications
Freezing Principle and Dynamic Temperature Control
The Kryo 570 uses liquid nitrogen as the cooling medium and supports both linear and non-linear cooling profiles.
- Cooling rates: −0.01 to −50°C/min
- Warming rates: Up to +10°C/min
This flexibility allows freezing protocols to be optimized for different sample types.
Temperature Range and Accuracy
- Operating temperature range:
- +30°C to −180°C
- Temperature control accuracy:
- ±(0.3 + 0.005 × T)°C
This ensures excellent reproducibility while minimizing thermal variability.
Sample Capacity
The approximately 16-L chamber accommodates simultaneous freezing of multiple specimen formats, including:
- Cryovials
- Blood bags
- Straws
The chamber capacity enables batch processing of large numbers of samples under identical freezing conditions.
Control System and Data Management
The system is controlled via the MR7 controller, featuring:
- Touchscreen interface
- Programmable freezing protocols
- Data logging
- Wi-Fi and Ethernet connectivity
These features ensure complete process traceability.
Safety and Reliability
Integrated features include:
- User access control
- Operational alarms
- Reliable and stable system performance
