Sample Cold Chain Integrity & Performance
Reliable Cryogenic Monitoring and Protection
The CryoPod Carrier is engineered to maintain a critical thermal environment of ≤-150°C for over 3 hours. To ensure sample safety, the system features an integrated temperature display with both audible and visual alarms. An internal logging function allows for easy data retrieval to verify the cold chain. Furthermore, the design utilizes LN2 vapor-phase technology, ensuring there is no direct sample contact with liquid nitrogen, which preserves specimen quality and prevents contamination.
Portability & Safe Operation
Ergonomic Design for Secure Lab Transit
The CryoPod Carrier is engineered for the safe and rapid movement of cryogenic samples across facilities. Weighing only 6kg (13.2lbs), its compact footprint is optimized for laboratory environments. The unit features an integrated top handle and bottom finger grips to ensure secure manual handling, while an optional hands-free auto-fill station streamlines the LN2 recharging process for maximum operator safety.
Cryogenic Transport & Logistics Support
Answers to some of the most common technical and operational questions regarding the Azenta CryoPod Carrier.
The unit utilizes a specialized internal absorbent that holds liquid nitrogen in the vapor phase. This design ensures samples remain at cryogenic temperatures (≤-150°C) while eliminating the risk of splashes or contamination associated with liquid phase immersion.
Yes. The integrated monitoring system logs temperature, time, and date. This data can be exported via a USB interface, providing a digital audit trail that supports regulatory compliance and internal quality assurance protocols.
When using the optional automated filling station, the CryoPod is fully recharged in under 15 minutes. This hands-free process minimizes operator exposure and ensures the carrier is ready for immediate deployment.
The carrier is versatile and can accommodate a standard 2-inch CryoBox, two SBS-format racks, or up to five 50ml cassettes, making it compatible with the most common laboratory storage standards.
Quality Assurance
Award-Winning Innovation
Recognized for excellence with innovation awards from both ISBER and ESBB, the CryoPod is a proven solution for cryogenic logistics. To support highly regulated environments, we offer comprehensive IQ/OQ/PQ validation services. These validation protocols can be performed by Azenta or Sopachem specialists to ensure your carrier meets all operational requirements.
