Biobank freezer FlashFREEZE

FlashFREEZE combines a non-toxic heat transfer fluid with an efficient -80°C Stirling chiller to standardize the flash-freezing of biospecimens. This preserves molecular integrity and facilitates optimal preparation for subsequent genomics, proteomics and metabolomics analyses. FlashFREEZE freezes tissue much faster than conventional methods, and its freezing time is fully controlled. The unit can freeze different types of specimens in just 60-150 seconds directly at -80°C. Next to fast freezing, technicians can also perform a gentle freezing: a slow and constant freezing method which allows to preserve the vitality of the cells. In both cases, when freezing cryomolds, the workflow is further improved by using Milestone’s Cryoembedding Compound (MCC), an exclusive formulation of water-soluble glycols and resins that improves tissue support. The irreproducibility of many biomarkers is often due to collection, processing and storage techniques. This variability can lead to significant differences in the molecular integrity of the biospecimens. Milestone overcomes these difficulties with a standardized approach to flash-freezing: with FlashFREEZE, technicians can perform standardized, reproducible, evidence-based freezing protocols with the full documentation required for quality assurance purposes. In addition, the USB port allows event logs to be downloaded for complete process documentation. FlashFREEZE provides standardized freezing at a constant temperature of -80°C for a wide range of tissue types and sample containers.
