ProCulture® -1 °C Freeze Controller

Controlled Rate Freezing for Cryopreservation

Easy-to-use unit provides “controlled rate” freezing samples at approximately -1 °C per minute, which is needed to prevent lethal intracellular freezing and successful cryopreservation. Prior to inserting vials, the unit should be filled with 250 mL of 100% isopropyl alcohol. Once the samples have been inserted the unit should be placed in a -80 °C mechanical freezer.

• 18 well, removable polyethylene vial holder placed inside the container separates the vials from the isopropyl alcohol
• Plastic foam insert surrounds the vial holder
• Alcohol filled containers can be stored at room temperature
