CryoVita 18 Controlled-Rate Freezer

CryoVita 18 — Compact Controlled-Rate Freezer

The CryoVita 18 is a precision controlled-rate freezer (CRF) designed for clinical and research cryopreservation of biologic material. With an 18-liter chamber capacity, it delivers reliable, reproducible freezing results while maximizing operational safety.

Dependable Sample Protection

The CryoVita CRF provides precise, repeatable freezing results that protect samples from intracellular ice crystal formation. Liquid nitrogen flows via a metal hose connection, as a gas, into the freezing chamber. Predetermined cooling profiles freeze samples prior to removal and storage at cryogenic temperatures. Data logging ensures continual monitoring of the entire process.

Reliable Temperature Performance

• Dual solenoid valves design — one for working, one for backup. Seamless failover via touchscreen controller
• Consistent temperature control and uniformity via air-handling system and LN₂ injection device
• Type 304 stainless steel construction with exterior powder-coat finish

User-Friendly Operation with Enhanced Traceability

• Intuitive touchscreen display for easy setup, operation, and review
• Six pre-set freezing profiles + space for up to 120 user-defined custom profiles
• Automatic temperature curve recording for each cycle
• External influences eliminated during freezing

Real-Time Monitoring

• Chamber and sample temperatures monitored by Type T thermocouples — real-time responsiveness
• Standard alarms for thermocouple failures, heater malfunction, high/low temperature limits, power failure
• RS232 port, USB port for data download
• Optional: Printer, PC software

IVF Compatibility

Natively optimized for clinical reproductive medicine formats: securely holds 0.25ml and 0.5ml cryo-straws alongside standard cryogenic vials. Calibrated to prevent Transient Warming Events (TWE) during sample transfer to permanent LN₂ dewars.
