Product Code: CL8800M / SPECIFICATIONS

The FREEZE CONTROL CL8800 system is a user programmable/preprogrammed biofreezer incorporating a controller with temperature acquisition and datalogging capability. Combined with CryoGenesis V5 software for Windows, a CC23S Straw Cryochamber and either the LNS, LNL, or DX2 Cryobath, this system is perfect for use in a busy lab for routine or research applications. When connected to a computer, the CL8800 provides a facility for full validation of actual freezing cycles that can be assigned to specific file names.

The CL8800 is fully user-programmable when run from any IBM compatible PC (USB and RS232 supported) operating under Windows 98 or higher, using our Windows software, CryoGenesis V5. The CL8800 can also be preprogrammed to allow the system to operate without a computer. Up to 16 user-specified programs can be preinstalled.

When connected to a PC, the CL8800's built-in temperature acquisition facility allows CryoGenesis to datalog actual specimen temperature. The temperature control range is +40°C to -120°C.

Validation of cryopreservation process can also be performed via an analog chart recorder, using the included temperature output jack.

The CC23S Straw Cryochamber included in this system accommodates 23 x 0.5ml or 46 x 0.25ml straws. (A range of FREEZE CONTROL cryochambers is available to accommodate different applications. Please see the specifications under "Biofreezer System Options".)

The CL8800 system includes your choice of a 1.6 liter insulated and covered metal canister LN2 cryobath for freezing cycles of up to 90 minutes, a 3.8 liter cryobath for freezing cycles up to 3.5 hours, or a 2.3 liter DX2 EPS foam cryobath with PETG clear lid, for freezing cycles up to 2 hours.
