Products Cryo Freezers Medium CRF Kryo 560 - Stem Cells and Blood Freezer

Kryo 560

Kryo 560

A medium sized controlled rate freezer with sample capacity sufficient for a busy laboratory -  Kryo 560-16

Simple to programme and easy to operate.

This rugged and reliable controlled rate freezer has  a top opening chamber,  a lid that is warmed to prevent freezing shut at cryogenic temperatures plus the unique forced laminar flow pattern ensuring excellent temperature control in all phases of the protocol. Planer’s  MRV Controller system offers multiple protocol availability.

The -180ºC end temperature ensures sample integrity during transfer to storage at  liquid nitrogen temperatures whilst the flexibility of the system, including protocol stage transition based on sample or chamber temperature or time, is ideal for the more demanding protocols associated with advanced cryo-preservation techniques.

The equipment is also available in a Medical Device version.
