What is a cryogenic freezer?

A cryogenic freezer is a specialised ultra-low temperature storage unit designed to keep biological materials at –140 °C to –150 °C. It uses mechanical refrigeration systems to maintain stable deep-cold conditions, halting biological activity and preserving sample integrity for long-term use. ARCTIKO cryogenic freezers include True Dual™ Technology, meaning two independent cooling systems protect samples even if one fails.

What temperature does a cryogenic freezer reach?

Cryogenic freezers operate at –140 °C to –150 °C. At these temperatures, biological activity and sample degradation are almost completely halted, making them ideal for long-term preservation of sensitive materials. ARCTIKO models are designed to maintain uniform, stable cooling across the entire chamber.

What samples can be stored in a cryogenic freezer?

Cryogenic freezers are widely used to preserve stem cells, reproductive cells, tissues, blood components, cell lines, and gene therapy materials. Their consistent ultra-low environment ensures sensitive samples remain stable for research and clinical use.

What are the benefits of cryogenic freezing?

Cryogenic freezing provides a stable storage environment at –150 °C, where biological processes are effectively stopped. This ensures maximum long-term protection for sensitive samples such as stem cells, reproductive cells, tissues, and cell lines. The benefits include:

– Long-term stability → samples remain intact for years without degradation.
– Uniform cooling → consistent protection across the storage chamber.
– Greater safety → no liquid nitrogen handling risks.
– Reliable protection → ARCTIKO cryogenic freezers feature True Dual™ Technology, ensuring samples remain secure even if one cooling system fails.

How long can samples be stored in a cryogenic freezer?

Cryogenic freezers maintain ultra-stable conditions at –150 °C, where biological activity and degradation are almost completely halted. This allows samples such as stem cells, reproductive cells, tissues, and cell lines to be stored for many years without loss of integrity, making them ideal for both routine biobanking and advanced research applications.
