BioRack Series Accessories& Options

Autofill OptionThe Autofill accessory option is particularly useful for the long-term storageof samples within vapour phase environments.

The system works by continuously monitoring the LN2 within the BioRackand topping-up the unit when natural evaporation causes the level to fall. Indoing this the system will not allow the LN2 level to fall below a safe set-point,vital for the long-term viability of the material being stored.

This method is less economical in terms of LN2 consumption but providesthe user with the ability to finely control the level within the unit over extendedperiods of up to 8 weeks between supply reservoir refills.

Temperature Logger Alarm UnitProviding continuous dependable monitoring of the temperature within therefrigerator, the CryoGuard data logger is the ideal choice for users who want torecord sample temperatures over long periods.

The unit has an 3-way audible alarm for: Low LN2 levelHigh temperatureLow battery power

Goblet Storage For StrawsIn place of the racks for storing cryoboxes, six special racks canbe supplied. Each rack holds four 67mm diameter canisters.

Quick, easy storage and withdrawal of racks, combined withexceptional holding times make the BioRack Series a leading choice.

Notes 1 Working times will vary according according to container usage.

The Biotrek 3 and 10 Dewars are for shipping samples in ultra cold conditions withoutthe dangers of releasing liquid nitrogen during transit.

Internally both Biotreks contain a special cryo-absorbant material which absorbs liquidnitrogen to ensure that although any samples held are not immersed in liquid nitrogenthey are close as possible to liquid nitrogen storage temperatures.

The cryo-absorbant will hold the liquid nitrogen within the vessel no matter whatorientation the Biotrek may be during shipping.

A wide range of Biological specimens may be held in the Biotrek 3 while the Biotrek 10can also accommodate blood stem cell bags because of the extra wide neck andinternal configuration.

The Biotrek 10 will hold up to 5 x 100 cellcryoboxes in a specially designed rack.

A Temperature Logger Alarm can be fittedto travel with the Biotrek 3 or 10 unit toprovide a continuous record of transittemperature.

A carrying bag for the Biotrek 3 is availablefor easy transport.
