In the world of plasma preservation, time and temperature control are everything. Maintaining the integrity of plasma, whether for medical use, research, or storage, requires fast, reliable freezing technology. Cryometrix’s B-90 and MB-90 Blast Freezers stand out as two premier solutions for plasma freezing, utilizing cutting-edge liquid nitrogen (LN2) technology to deliver quick, safe, and energy-efficient freezing.

These freezers are designed with plasma storage needs in mind, providing users with powerful performance, user-friendly features, and significant energy savings over traditional mechanical freezers. Whether you manage a large plasma bank or run a small research lab, the B-90 and MB-90 freezers offer unmatched freezing precision to maintain the highest standards of plasma integrity.

The Role of Plasma Freezers in Preservation

Plasma, the liquid portion of blood, is used for various medical treatments, including trauma care, surgery, and blood disorders. Proper freezing of plasma is critical because it ensures that essential proteins, clotting factors, and antibodies remain intact. Improper freezing can lead to degradation, reducing plasma’s effectiveness when it’s needed most.

Cryometrix’s B-90 and MB-90 Blast Freezers are specifically engineered to meet the unique requirements of plasma freezing, allowing for rapid temperature reduction and secure, uniform freezing. The faster plasma is frozen, the better its quality is preserved, making these freezers essential tools for any facility handling plasma storage.

B-90 Blast Freezer: Ultimate Efficiency for Plasma Freezing

The Cryometrix B-90 Blast Freezer is the industry’s leading solution for high-volume plasma storage and preservation. Leveraging patented cryogenic freezing technology, the B-90 rapidly cools from 20°C to -90°C in just 10 minutes, ensuring that plasma samples are quickly frozen to preserve their integrity.

Key Features of the B-90 Blast Freezer:

• Ultra-fast cooling: The B-90 can reduce the internal temperature from 20°C to -90°C in only 10 minutes, making it one of the fastest plasma freezers on the market. This rapid freezing is critical for maintaining the efficacy of plasma during long-term storage.
• Large capacity: With a 700-liter interior, the B-90 can accommodate high volumes of plasma, making it ideal for plasma banks, research institutions, and medical facilities with large-scale storage needs. The freezer can store up to 48 5-liter plasma bottles at once, significantly increasing throughput.
• Energy efficiency: The B-90 uses only about 1.5 gallons of LN2 per minute during the cooldown phase (around 8-10 minutes) and 7 gallons per hour during steady-state. Compared to traditional compressor-based freezers, the B-90 consumes up to 90% less energy, making it an eco-friendly and cost-effective solution.
• Durable design: Constructed from 100% 304-grade stainless steel, both the interior and exterior of the B-90 are built to withstand years of heavy use while ensuring easy cleaning and sterilization.
• User-friendly interface: The freezer comes with a touch-screen interface and on-board data logging capabilities, making it easy to monitor freezing conditions, log operations, and ensure plasma integrity. With security access for up to 100 individual users, the B-90 provides a controlled and secure freezing environment.

Unlike traditional mechanical freezers that rely on compressors and refrigerants, the B-90 operates with liquid nitrogen. This not only reduces maintenance costs—thanks to fewer moving parts—but also eliminates the need for HVAC systems to cool the ambient temperature.

The Cryometrix B-90 is perfect for large facilities that require fast, reliable plasma freezing, and want to ensure the highest levels of plasma integrity while reducing their energy consumption.

MB-90 Chest Blast Freezer: Compact, Reliable, and Efficient

For smaller operations, the Cryometrix MB-90 Chest Blast Freezer offers the same advanced freezing technology in a compact and more affordable package. This freezer is ideal for plasma freezing in smaller labs or for research facilities that need high performance but may not have the same storage volume requirements as larger institutions.

Key Features of the MB-90 Chest Blast Freezer:

• Fast freezing speeds: The MB-90 reaches -80°C in just 6 minutes, offering the speed and precision necessary for critical plasma preservation. Rapid freezing helps to maintain plasma quality by minimizing the formation of ice crystals that can damage delicate proteins.
• Compact design: With a 4.2 cubic foot capacity, the MB-90 is perfect for laboratories with limited space. Its small footprint (27 inches by 56 inches) allows it to fit comfortably in smaller labs or workspaces without compromising performance.
• Energy-efficient operation: The MB-90 is designed to minimize energy consumption, using just 0.5 gallons of LN2 per minute during the ramp-down phase. The steady-state consumption is even lower at 0.7 gallons per hour, providing continuous freezing with minimal LN2 usage.
• Versatile temperature control: The MB-90 allows for temperature control from 40°C to -90°C, giving users the flexibility to adjust freezing profiles based on specific plasma requirements. This makes it a great tool for experimental freezing applications.
• Easy data logging and SCADA integration: Like the B-90, the MB-90 includes built-in data logging software, with options for manual CSV export and seamless integration into SCADA systems for enhanced monitoring and control.

Despite its smaller size, the MB-90 offers powerful freezing capabilities. It’s an excellent choice for research facilities, laboratories, and smaller plasma banks that need reliable and rapid freezing without the need for a large freezer.

Plasma Integrity and Safety: A Priority in Design

Both the B-90 and MB-90 Plasma Freezers are engineered to protect the integrity of plasma samples. Cryometrix freezers use a closed nitrogen system, ensuring that the plasma is never directly exposed to LN2 during the freezing process. This guarantees that the plasma remains uncontaminated and that its biological components remain intact throughout freezing and storage.

Additionally, nitrogen—the cooling agent used in both models—is a naturally occurring component of the Earth’s atmosphere. This makes Cryometrix freezers an environmentally friendly option for facilities concerned with their carbon footprint. Nitrogen is non-flammable, non-toxic, and poses no environmental hazards, unlike many refrigerants used in traditional freezers.

Cost and Energy Savings with Cryometrix Plasma Freezers

Cryometrix freezers provide substantial cost savings over traditional mechanical freezers. The energy-efficient LN2 system uses up to 90% less electricity, resulting in lower operational costs. Additionally, the freezers require no external HVAC systems to cool the ambient air, reducing the need for additional equipment and space.

For facilities that need scalable solutions, Cryometrix freezers offer modular design and low energy consumption, making it easy to add additional units without overloading electrical systems.

B-90 vs. MB-90: Choosing the Right Plasma Freezer for Your Needs

While both the B-90 and MB-90 offer exceptional plasma freezing capabilities, the choice between them depends on your specific needs:

• The B-90 Blast Freezer is perfect for large-scale plasma storage, offering a massive capacity and ultra-fast freezing speeds. If your facility handles high volumes of plasma and needs rapid throughput, the B-90 is the best choice.
• The MB-90 Chest Freezer is better suited for smaller labs or experimental work, offering the same reliability in a compact, cost-effective design.

Both models feature user-friendly controls, energy-efficient operation, and durable construction, making them excellent long-term investments for any plasma storage facility.
