CoolCell® Controlled-Rate, Alcohol-Free Cell Freezing

CoolCell® alcohol-free cell freezing containers ensure standardized controlled-rate -1oC/minute cell freezing in a -80oC freezer - without alcohol or any fluids. Proven for use with a variety of cell types including stem cells, primary cells, PBMC cell lines, insect cells, yeast and others. The patent-pending CoolCell technology utilizes a thermo-conductive alloy core and highly-insulative outer material to control the rate of heat removal and provide reproducible cell cryopreservation. CoolCell units are easy to use and deliver comparable results to expensive programmable freezers.

CoolCell FTS30 utilizes a solid state core and controlled micro-convection technology to evenly draw in -80°C freezer air through a bottom base vent, uniformly disperse the cold air around each vial in the central chamber and then release the thermal load from the vials through a top vent choke. The inner vial module holds 30 cryogenic vials and can be removed in one step. Each vial achieves a uniform and reproducible -1°C/minute freezing profile and thermal profiles are highly reproducible. Due to the low thermal mass of the uniform-density cross-linked polyethylene foam container, freezing can be conducted without a rise in local freezer temperature, thereby protecting nearby samples.

CoolCell® LX, in combination with a -80°C freezer, will provide the freezing rate of -1°C/minute that is ideal for cryopreservation of most cells and cell lines. Using a combination of uniform-density cross-linked polyethylene foam, a solid state core, and radial vial symmetry, freezing profiles are consistent and reproducible. It is important to fully load CoolCell containers prior to freezing. Foam is non-absorbent and will impose negligible change in the freezer environment; thereby protecting nearby frozen samples. The low heat content also ensures that CoolCell LX containers will rapidly return to room temperature when removed from freezer.

ThawSTAR™ automated cell thawing system addresses the last gap in the cell cryopreservation workflow: cell thawing. Replacing common methods of cell thawing such as swirling frozen vials in communal water baths and warming vials between hands - methods that are not standardized and potentially jeopardize the integrity and safety of the sample - ThawSTAR ensures consistent and reproducible thawing. Utilizing patent-pending STAR™ sensing technology, ThawSTAR employs multiple detection mechanisms to determine vial temperature, phase change initiation and thaw completion, eliminating the guesswork and subjectivity of determining the end point. Highly reproducible thermal profiles mirror those obtained from a water bath without the variability and risk of contamination.

ThawSTAR™ Automated Cell Thawing System

How It Works

ThawSTAR™ adaptive sensing technology carefully tracks vial temperature at the time of insertion and during the thawing process, and detects the initiation of the solid-liquid phase change to optimize the thermal profile and deliver a consistent final sample temperature in the range of 0-5°C. ThawSTAR can efficiently and reproducibly thaw vials right from LN2 storage as well as those equilibrated to dry ice (-78°C) or ultra-low freezer (-80°C to -75°C) temperature.

To operate, simply insert one frozen standard 1.8 or 2.0 mL cryogenic vial and wait approximately 2-3 minutes. When thaw cycle is complete, vial is raised for easy removal and downstream processing.

Solution: ThawSTAR™ • Fully solid-state system - no liquids• STAR™ temperature sensing technology, detects temperature of vial,

identifies phase change of contents and stops thaw at end of phase change

• Intuitive use and feedback

Problem: Current methods not standardized• Risk contamination from communal water baths• Subjective end-point, variability amongst users• Challenging in cGMP or clinical environments

ThawSTAR™ Reproducibility

ThawSTAR™ Performance

PBMC. After long term LN2 storage, 3 vials were thawed in a water bath or ThawSTAR automated system. Cell counts and viability were measured immediately post-thaw (Day 1) and after 3 days growth (Day 3). ThawSTAR showed equivalent percent recovery with lower variation vial-to-vial while eliminating the risk of contamination from communal water bath.

K562 cell line. After LN2 storage, 3 vials were thawed in a water bath or ThawSTAR automated system. Cell counts and viability were measured immediately post-thaw (Day 1) and after 3 days growth (Day 3). The ThawSTAR system showed equivalent cell counts and viability while eliminating the risk of contamination from communal water bath.

- Data generated by MD Anderson Cancer Center.

Thermal profile mirrors water bath thaw. Thermocouples were placed in 2.0 mL cryogenic vials containing 1.0 mL of water, and frozen to -80°C using CoolCell® controlled-rate cell freezing containers. Upon completion, a vial was transferred directly into a 37°C water bath or ThawSTAR system, and the temperature rate and profile was observed over 3 minutes. This experiment was repeated 5 consecutive times and temperature profiles were recorded.

Highly reproducible. Repeated thaws were conducted using the same ThawSTAR unit on different days, and different ThawSTAR units on the same day to test for consistency and reproducibility. No significant differences in thaw times were observed in either scenario, demonstrating high unit-to-unit and run-to-run reproducibility.

“…Our GMP protocols call for thawing of cells every 60 days from a Master Bank. Use of a water bath within a GMP facility is highly discouraged due to contamination concerns. If one is employed, it must be thoroughly emptied and cleaned after every single use. Incorporation of a ThawSTAR thawing system into our protocols allows us to streamline our workflow, recognize time savings, and enforce sterile operating conditions.”

- Helen Huls, MD Anderson Cancer Center

“…BioCision is a very innovative company and once we heard about the new cell thawer, we were really eager to try it out for thawing PBMCs from our viral repository. When using a water bath to thaw there is always a risk of contamination, and we were keen to have a more reproducible cell thawing method. The ThawSTAR solves all of our concerns and we can even use it in the hood which improves our cryopreservation workflow.”

ThawSTAR™ CFT TransporterThawSTAR CFT Transporter ("Transporter") is a portable solution for the handling and transport of frozen vials from long-term storage in vapor phase liquid nitrogen or in a -80°C freezer to downstream processing with the ThawSTAR automated cell thawing system. Prior to using the Transporter, a thin layer of dry ice is added to the bottom of the base. The round CoolRack® CFT module is placed over the dry ice and allowed to equilibrate to dry ice temperature (approximately 10 minutes). Frozen sample vials are then extracted from storage and quickly placed into the CoolRack module which is designed to maintain approximately -80°C sample temperature with the Transporter lid on for approximately one hour. Samples can then be transported to the ThawSTAR system and inserted into the cell-thawing module, one at a time, for downstream processing.

The versatile ultra-low temperature system maintains a stable < -70 to -50°C temperature range throughout its entire 8-inch working depth over an 8 hour period with the lid off. With the lid on, the transporter maintains < -70° to -50°C in the chamber for over 24 hours, enabling longer sample transport with virtually no temperature variation or risk of elevated temperatures that could compromise the valuable contents. The bottom 4 to 6 inches of the BioT ULT Transporter remain ≤ -70°C for hours, simulating an ultra-low freezer environment and allowing the collection and freezing of biological samples at collection site.

BioT ULT Transporter provides an 8-inch deep working height area below -50°C for over 8 hours with lid off and over 24 hours with lid closed, ensuring safe and stable handling of entire payload.

A dry ice-filled Styrofoam box is currently the standard method used for receiving, handling and transporting valuable frozen samples. However, only a 0.6 inch (1.5 cm) high zone above the dry ice stays below -50°C for 2 hours. Worse, at 2 inches (5.0 cm) above the dry ice - the top of a standard 2-inch cryostorage box- the temperature is above -20°C.

BioT™ ULT Transporter provides a stable ultra-low temperature (< -70°C to -50°C) work zone 8.0 inches (20.3 cm) deep. Up to 8 standard 2-inch cryostor-age boxes will remain safely below -50°C for over 8 hours with the lid open and over 24 hours with the lid closed with one charge of dry ice.

CoolRack® Thermo-Conductive Tube Modules

CoolRack® thermo-conductive tube modules eliminate variability which originates from tubes placed directly into ice, dry ice, alcohol baths, water baths and other temperature sources. Place the CoolRack module directly onto a temperature source between -196°C to >100°C and it will rapidly adapt to that temperature. CoolRack modules ensure +/- 0.1°C temperature uniformity across all tubes when cooling, snap freezing, heating or thawing. Suggested applications include cooling reagents such as restriction enzymes, dNTPs and antibodies, alcohol-free dry ice snap freezing of tissue, virus and bacteria samples and bench top cryogenic tube sorting in liquid nitrogen. All CoolRack modules may be autoclaved, high heat sterilized or decontaminated with bleach, alcohol or other disinfectants or lab detergents. Certain CoolRack modules are SBS-compatible.

Solution: Samples in CoolRack® Module• All samples <4°C and uniform in

temperature (+/- 0.1°C)• Samples organized, secure and dry• All tubes upright and indexed• Reproducible method

Problem: Samples in Ice• Non-uniform ice contact results in

variable sample temperature• Disorganized samples, wet labels• Shifting, sinking tubes;

contamination risk• Non-reproducible method

How It Works

Optimized well spacing

Rapidly adapts to desired temperature

Thermo-conductive alloy module

Autoclavable

Cylindrical or conical well shapes

Recessed for easy grip

CoolRack in Water Bath: Heat is transferred from water bath toward relatively cooler CoolRack until equilibrium is reached.

CoolRack® and CoolSink® are precision-engineered sample modules manufactured from a novel thermo-conductive alloy material. Thermo-conductivity is the transfer of heat energy from a higher temperature region to a lower temperature region. CoolRack modules evenly distribute the temperature across all wells providing very uniform and consistent temperature to all samples (+/0.1°C).

Cooling

Warming

CoolRack on Ice: Heat from the relatively warmer CoolRack module is transferred to cooling source (wet or dry ice, cartridge, LN2) until equilibrium is reached.

CoolRack® Versatility and Performance

On Ice• Adapts from ambient (25˚C) to <4˚C in 60-90

seconds*• Samples and labels stay dry, organized• Hours of ice cooling without direct ice contact• Reproducible method

On Dry Ice• Adapts from ambient (25˚C) to -78˚C in

approximately 5-7 minutes*

• Eliminates ethanol from snap freezing • Samples are upright and organized as they freeze• Equal or better freezing rate as compared to

direct immersion into dry ice or alcohol slurry• Reproducible method

In Liquid Nitrogen (LN2)• Adapts from ambient (25˚C) to approximately -150˚C

in approximately 12-14 minutes*

• Vapor barrier protects from ambient air• Samples are upright and organized as they freeze• No direct contact between samples and LN2• Reproducible method

*Average cooling rate from room temperature

With Heat Sources• Use with water baths, hot plates, incubators

and other heat sources to keep samples warm

Performance test: A temperature probe was placed into a 2.0 mL cryogenic vial containing 1.0 mL of water. The tube was inserted into a CoolRack® CF45 thermo-conductive module. The module was placed onto a ThermalTray platform in a 37°C water bath and allowed to equilibrate. The CoolRack CF45 module was then removed and placed onto dry ice and equilibrated to -78°C (0 - 15 minutes) and then returned to the water bath to re-equilibrate to 37°C (15 - 30 minutes). This experiment was repeated five consecutive times and temperature profiles were recorded.

Conclusion: The CoolRack CF45 module showed identical cooling profiles and phase transition (orange circles) over five consecutive freeze-thaw cycles.

Problem: Non-Uniform Plate Cooling with Crushed IceFinal equilibrium well temperature for a 96-well flat bottom plate in direct contact with crushed ice.

CoolSink® Thermo-Conductive Plate Modules

CoolSink® thermo-conductive plate and reservoir modules provide uniform temperature to all wells, regardless of position. When placed onto a temperature source such as ice, dry ice, liquid nitrogen or water baths, the CoolSink module will rapidly adapt to that temperature - from -196°C to >+100°C. CoolSink modules ensure temperature sample uniformity when cooling, snap freezing, heating or thawing samples. All CoolSink modules may be autoclaved, high heat sterilized or decontaminated with bleach, alcohol or other disinfectants or lab detergents. All modules are compatible with all temperature sources.

Solution: Uniform Plate Cooling with CoolSink® XT 96F ModuleCoolSink 96F on ice. Colors represent 0.5°C temperature intervals of the corresponding plate wells. The white cell represents the well that was fitted with the thermocouple probe.

ThermalTray™ Thermo-Conductive Platforms

ThermalTray™ thermo-conductive platforms support CoolRack® and CoolSink® sample modules in liquid temperature sources such as melting ice, water baths and liquid nitrogen. Made of the same highly conductive alloy as CoolRack and CoolSink modules, ThermalTray platforms conduct the source temperature to the CoolRack or CoolSink and, ultimately, to your samples. The stable, sturdy design makes them ideal for processing temperature-sensitive samples in melted ice baths or liquid nitrogen. All modules may be autoclaved, high heat sterilized or decontaminated with bleach, alcohol or other disinfectants or lab detergents.

ThermalTray platforms All ThermalTray platforms are compatible with all temperature sources. If using in liquid nitrogen it is important to use ThermalTray SLP or LP and allow vapor layer to develop over the ThermalTray platform. The vapor layer will help insulate samples from ambient air.
