Cryo | cryogenic Freezers

Why Modern Labs Choose ARCTIKO’s –150°C Cryogenic Storage

Protecting valuable biological materials requires reliable, ultra-low temperatures. While –80 °C freezers remain widely used for general biobanking and molecular biology samples, certain applications, including regenerative medicine, reproductive cells and advanced therapies, demand colder, more stable storage. Traditionally, cryogenic storage has meant liquid nitrogen (LN₂) tanks. Today, cryogenic freezers achieve –150°C using advanced mechanical refrigeration […]

GLP-1 Cold Chain Management: Ensuring Potency, Compliance & Sustainability  

What is GLP-1?   GLP-1 (Glucagon-like Peptide-1) is a hormone that regulates blood sugar and appetite. GLP-1 drugs (e.g., Ozempic, Wegovy, Trulicity) mimic this hormone to treat type 2 diabetes and obesity. As one of the fastest-growing pharmaceutical markets, GLP-1 therapies are forecasted to exceed $100 billion by 2030. For more information on GLP-1 therapies, see […]
