ULTRA-LOW TEMPERATURE APPLICATIONS

Application areas

Controlled freezing and thawing as well as storage at temperatures as low as −86 °C are important for maintaining the integrity of biotechnological products, cells and pharmaceutical reference samples. LAUDA offers process thermostats for controlled freezing and thawing as well as solutions for ultra low temperature storage and logistics.

CONTROLLED FREEZING AND THAWING

Freezing and thawing at defined cooling and heating rates has become an indispensable process in the treatment of valuable biopharmaceutical products. The process simplifies handling during essential transport phases and guarantees consistent product quality. Modern systems enable full integration into the process chain, a high level of automation and therefore increased safety and control.

 

Highest performance requirements for cooling

High cooling rates, rapid response times, and complex hydraulics at temperatures below −80°C. The constant temperature equipment must be able to cool dynamically, and must feature powerful, variable pumps that can also handle high flow resistances.

Deep process integration

Reproducible results can only be guaranteed through a perfect connection between the constant temperature equipment and the freeze and thaw unit, as well as easy readability for monitoring and process optimization purposes. The innovative flow principle and eight-stage Vario pump on the LAUDA Integral XT enable high dynamics, even with complex hydraulics.

ULTRA LOW TEMPERATURE STORAGE

Ultra low temperatures below −80°C are essential for ensuring the stability, integrity and effectiveness of biopharmaceutical products and cells over a longer period of time. Any interruptions in the ultra low temperature storage of therapeutic proteins, genetic material, cell lines or even reference samples represent an economic risk and a product risk and can lead to complicated checks and special approvals.
LAUDA Versafreeze upright and chest freezers offer safe storage of valuable samples and biopharmaceuticals.

 

DEEP-FREEZE LOGISTICS

Today, deep-freeze logistics in the biopharmaceutical industry rely on the use of latent heat accumulators (PCMs) or dry ice. However, both applications have serious limitations. While PCMs are only available for ultra low temperature applications to a limited extent, dry ice maintains the temperature at −78.5 °C through sublimation. Handling dry ice runs the risk of suffocation, frostbite and explosion. The continuous procurement of dry ice along with the implementation of measures to counter any risks also generate high running costs.

LAUDA Mobifreeze is the world's first ultra low temperature chest freezer that can be connected to the power supply or operated by battery. The solution eliminates the need for dry ice and PCMs, is ready for use at any time and enables flexible configuration of temperature settings for the relevant product. This means that transportation can take place under the validated storage conditions.
