Blood and Cell Storage
Safe and secure cryogenic storage for blood and cells
Cryogenic storage is used for the storage of blood and cell products for research purposes. Final storage is in multi-compartment cryo-bags and the bag is encased in overwrap for an extra layer of protection against cross contamination. A technique called controlled-rate freezing is used to prepare the cells for long-term storage. The bag is then housed in a protective cassette and placed in a freezer in the vapour phase of cryogenic nitrogen. Leading scientists believe cord blood stem cells can be cryogenically stored indefinitely.

Nitrogen
Useful as a gas, for its inert properties, and as a liquid for cooling and freezing. Virtually any industry can benefit from its unique properties to improve yields, optimize performance and make operations safer.
CryoEase® Microbulk Solutions
CryoEase® microbulk technology is a modern concept where your gas is supplied by filling on-site vs. the traditional method for smaller volume usage, where gas is supplied by swapping full for empty cylinders and dewars. CryoEase® microbulk supply features specially designed trucks with integrated controls and flexible storage tank options. End usage can be provided as pure gases, cryogenic liquids or gaseous mixtures via a blender installed at your site.
