Smartfreezers (Automated LN₂ Freezer)

Description

Smartfreezer® EVO LAB is a robotic solution to automate the storage and retrieval of vials, containing biological material, stored at cryogenic temperature (-180°C). Loading and unloading are done by individual vial, avoiding exposure to unnecessary thermal stress to the tubes stored within the device. The operator does not need to come into contact with any cold surface or liquid nitrogen while using the machine the only activity the user has to do is to select the required sample via the software interface. The robot manages the movement of the vials from ambient to the cryogenic temperature inside the device. The structure of the body is made of sheet steel, possibly powder coated, while the structure of the storage compartment is made of AISI 304 stainless steel with rounded corners, to facilitate sanitization and avoid possible bacterial nesting. Samples are stored in LN2 steam, which provides the safest conditions and prevents the risk of cross-contamination between samples. The guaranteed temperature range is -180°C to -150°C. The equipment is also fitted with an internal and external barcode reader to identify the samples and a touch screen PC for easy and intuitive operation by the user.
