Overview

The Cryo Store Pico -190°C LN2-Based Automated Storage System provides researchers and clinicians with a best-in-class storage system for cellular products and biosamples. The system combines a high-efficiency LN2 stainless steel freezer with the Azenta Life Sciences automation technology and software to ensure the highest sample integrity.

The Cryo Store Pico -190°C LN2-Based Automated Storage System offers robust sample protection, comprehensive inventory management, and temperature control with superior user experience at an affordable price. Targeted and non-targeted samples are protected from warming above Tg (glass transition) throughout sample retrieval. Sample integrity is secured with user access permissions, sample inventory, history, and audit-trail reports. Cryo-critical features provide 10 days of temperature stability in the case of energy or LN2 loss.

Built-in inventory management along with access control enables diligent record-keeping and traceability, providing chain-of-custody records. The ergonomic design with vending-machine styled housing protects staff from exposure to liquid nitrogen or awkward postures while accessing samples.

Since samples stay enclosed within the temperature-controlled tower during the selection process, sample exposure to ambient temperatures is reduced compared with manual selection. The Cryo Store Pico is a complete sample management solution with labware flexibility designed to support automated workflows.
