The Bio-Cool from SP Scientific is the only controlled rate freezer that does not require expendable liquid nitrogen and the associated pumping, re-filling, and storage challenges posed by a cryogenic liquid. The Bio-Cool, simply plugs into a standard electrical outlet and quietly provides low temperature cooling to either -40ºC or -80ºC.

Unlike liquid nitrogen systems which surround samples with a cold vapour phase, the Bio-Cool immerses samples into a well-circulated, cold liquid bath. The circulating liquid allows more efficient heat transfer to the samples and maintains a more consistent temperature profile at all locations. Typical applications that have benefited from the safe, easy and reliable operation of the Bio-Cool include cryopreservation of human and animal embryos and biological tissue and cell lines.

The Bio-Cool comes as standard with an easy-to-use programmable microprocessor controller that enables programming and storage of up to eight different protocols, each with up to eight distinct segments specifying ramp rate, hold temperature, and hold time.

Elimination of liquid nitrogen handling and usage, better freezing results, simple straightforward operation, and SP Scientific's world-class service support all make the Bio-Cool the controlled rate freezer of choice for most clinical, commercial, and research applications.
