Insurance Today, For a Viable Future.

By using a proven, computer-controlled technology and tracking software, the BioArchive provides the best protection for today’s high value cell samples that meet tomorrow’s stem cell therapy needs.

• Samples are stored at a consistent -196°C temperature

• Constant temperature control through closed-system sample handling with robotic storage and retrieval

• Integrated control rate freezing

• Delivers up to 94% post-thaw cell viability1*

• Individual storage and retrieval of cell samples results in minimal exposure to transient warming events (TWE)

• Automated tracking of individual sample freeze curves and storage in LN2 assures maximum confidence

 Superior Design. Unsurpassed Viability.

• Viable CD34+ stem cell recovery is consistently > 97%, higher than other available systems1

• Fully automated, closed system maintains cell integrity

• Precise robotic storage and retrieval minimizes TWE

• Over 3600 sample capacity

Complete System Solution

The BioArchive® System consists of the following key components:

• Liquid nitrogen dewar with storage rack

• Liquid nitrogen control system for the dewar

• Controlled rate freezer (CRF) modules

• Sample retrieval cartridge

• Robotic arm consisting of a barcode reader and a periscope with a canister hook necessary for storage and retrieval

• Microprocessor control system which controls the automated functions and maintains records of the samples freeze profile and system inventory

• Sample Management Software (SMS)

• Computer and accessories (printer, barcode label scanner, barcode label printer, mouse, keyboard, laptop)

• One magnetic retrieval device

Controlled Freezing. Confident Results. 

• Controlled-rate freezing process, a sensor monitors the sample temperature

• This individual controlled-rate freezing maintains the sample’s cell integrity during the freeze cycle

• The CRF controls the rate of freezing based on temperature and time until the sample reaches -50°C

• Once the sample reaches -50°C it is then moved from the CRF and is placed in an unique location for storage. It can then be independently retrieved without compromising other samples cell viability

• Three-dimensional, 25mL, dual-compartment blow-molded freezing bag and a stainless-steel canister ensures precise, uniform freezing

• An overwrap bag adds further sample protection during storage in LN2
