In the rapidly evolving field of cell therapy and medical research, maintaining the viability of Car-T Cells is crucial. The Cryometrix T-160 Ultra-Low Temperature Freezer provides the perfect solution for the storage of these critical cells, delivering ultra-low temperatures down to -160°C. This freezer is specifically designed to meet the demands of Car-T Cell storage, ensuring that these delicate, life-saving cells are preserved with optimal conditions that prevent temperature fluctuations and ensure long-term viability.

Car-T Cells, derived from a patient’s own immune system, are engineered to target and fight cancer cells. This makes their proper storage not just a matter of convenience, but a life-or-death issue for patients awaiting this advanced therapy. As the demand for effective Car-T Cell therapy grows, so does the need for reliable, efficient, and safe storage solutions. The Cryometrix T-160 freezer delivers on all fronts, providing an industry-leading storage environment that ensures the integrity of these cells.

Why Ultra-Low Temperatures Are Essential for Car-T Cell Storage

Car-T Cells are highly sensitive to temperature changes. Even minor fluctuations can impact their effectiveness and long-term viability, making ultra-low temperature storage an essential component of Car-T Cell therapy development. The Cryometrix T-160 freezer excels in providing stable, consistent temperatures, preventing any risk of damage caused by temperature variations.

Most importantly, the T-160 freezer reaches temperatures as low as -160°C, the ideal range for the long-term storage of Car-T Cells. This temperature ensures that cells remain stable, with minimal metabolic activity, allowing them to retain their functionality when thawed for therapeutic use. Unlike conventional freezers that can struggle to maintain such low temperatures, the Cryometrix T-160’s innovative liquid nitrogen system ensures that these temperatures are consistently achieved and maintained.

Innovative Design for Safe and Efficient Car-T Cell Storage

What sets the Cryometrix T-160 Car-T Cell storage freezer apart from traditional freezers is its unique design. Unlike mechanical freezers, which rely on compressors and refrigerants, the T-160 uses a contained liquid nitrogen (LN2) system. This closed nitrogen system ensures that there is no direct contact between the nitrogen and the stored cells, preventing any contamination or degradation of samples. This design provides a safer alternative to traditional freezers, where exposure to liquid nitrogen can pose risks to both the operator and the product.

In addition, the T-160 freezer does not use noisy compressors, making it a quiet and energy-efficient option for laboratories and research facilities. The cryogenic technology utilized by Cryometrix allows the freezer to reach and maintain temperatures that would be difficult, if not impossible, to achieve with mechanical systems. This compressor-free design also minimizes the risk of equipment failure and reduces the need for costly maintenance.

Secure and Accessible Storage for Sensitive Samples

In facilities handling Car-T Cells and other sensitive biomedical materials, security is a top priority. The Cryometrix T-160 is designed with advanced security features that allow laboratories to control and monitor access to the freezer. The 7″ touchscreen LCD interface is user-friendly and provides a high level of customization, enabling up to 100 individual users to have access while maintaining secure, regulated entry.

Laboratories can configure access control settings based on their specific needs, ensuring that only authorized personnel can open the freezer, adjust the temperature setpoint, or make any other changes to the settings. This not only safeguards the samples stored within but also ensures compliance with regulatory standards.

Moreover, the T-160 freezer comes equipped with on-board data logging capabilities, allowing labs to track storage conditions over time. This is critical for facilities working in FDA-regulated environments where temperature consistency and record-keeping are mandatory. The freezer’s data export capabilities also provide researchers and lab managers with easy access to historical data, making it easier to ensure compliance and monitor performance.

The Importance of Redundancy in Car-T Cell Storage

In biomedical facilities, the possibility of power failures or equipment malfunctions must be anticipated and planned for. The Cryometrix T-160 is built with multiple layers of redundancy to ensure that Car-T Cells and other sensitive samples remain safe, even in the event of unforeseen circumstances.

The freezer’s redundant cooling system and built-in 7-day battery backup provide an extra layer of security, keeping the system operational even during power outages. Additionally, the T-160 features an emergency manual liquid nitrogen valve, allowing the freezer to maintain ultra-low temperatures without any power until the LN2 is depleted. These redundant systems are crucial for labs that cannot afford to lose valuable samples due to technical failures.

Energy Efficiency and Environmental Benefits

One of the standout features of the Cryometrix T-160 is its energy efficiency. Traditional mechanical freezers consume a significant amount of energy to maintain ultra-low temperatures, but the Cryometrix T-160 uses up to 90% less energy. This low energy consumption not only reduces operational costs for laboratories but also contributes to environmental sustainability.

The freezer’s LN2 system requires no electricity to function, meaning that it can maintain ultra-low temperatures during power outages, further enhancing its reliability. Additionally, because the freezer uses no refrigerant chemicals or oils, it is an eco-friendly option for laboratories looking to reduce their carbon footprint.

By choosing the Cryometrix T-160, labs benefit from an environmentally responsible solution that doesn’t compromise on performance or safety. The freezer’s energy-efficient design allows it to operate effectively in any environment without requiring energy-intensive HVAC systems to cool the surrounding space.

Compact Design and Space Efficiency

Laboratories and research facilities often face space constraints, and the Cryometrix T-160 freezer is designed with this in mind. Despite its compact footprint, the freezer offers ample storage capacity, capable of holding up to 57,600 vials (1.2-2 mL internally threaded). The upright design allows for easy access to stored materials, reducing the time spent retrieving samples and minimizing the risk of sample warming.

The T-160’s space-efficient design allows it to fit into almost any laboratory layout. It requires no ventilation space on the sides, making it easy to position against walls, and its stainless steel construction ensures durability while providing an easy-to-clean surface that helps maintain a sterile environment. The freezer’s custom shelving options also allow laboratories to adjust the internal layout to meet their specific storage needs.

Compliance and Safety in FDA-Regulated Environments

The Cryometrix T-160 Car-T Cell storage freezer is designed to meet the stringent requirements of FDA-regulated environments. It complies with CE standards and can be upgraded to meet 21 CFR Part 11 compliance, making it suitable for use in clinical trials and biopharmaceutical manufacturing. This compliance ensures that the freezer meets all necessary regulations for data integrity, storage conditions, and user security, providing peace of mind to facilities working with critical biomedical samples.

The freezer’s 304 stainless steel construction not only ensures long-lasting durability but also allows for easy cleaning and sterilization. This is especially important in facilities handling Car-T Cell therapy development, where maintaining a sterile environment is essential for the success of the treatment.
