Statebourne Cryogenics Biorack storage system for LN2 refrigerators

Click2Contact

Statebourne Cryogenics has developed the Biorack racking system based on a 133 x 133 mm footprint to accommodate blood bags, cord blood bags, Falcon tubes, 96-well plates and IVF straws in a narrow-neck LN₂ refrigerator.

The Biorack range of LN₂ freezers holds up to 6000 x 2 mL cryovials in 100-place cryoboxes. The refrigerators have a neck diameter of 216 mm and a low loss rate (<1 L per day). They are suitable for mid-range users as they have a high storage capacity but a low consumption of LN₂ and samples can be stored in liquid or vapour phase. Traditionally, such vessels only store 2 or 5 mL tubes, so users with increasing numbers or types of samples would need to purchase a wide-necked LN₂ refrigerator.

The company can custom-build racks to suit other tubes and users can mix and match up to six different types in the same unit.
