GRANT Controlled Rate Freeze Thaw – CRFT

The Grant Controlled Rate Freeze Thaw (CRFT) is a liquid nitrogen free system offering precise, reliable temperature control for freezing and thawing applications.

It is ideal for applications including gamete cryopreservation, tissue culture, and stem cell research, biopharmaceuticals, vaccines, and cell therapies.

With its user defined programming, real-time data logging, and robust design, this system ensures consistent and repeatable results, minimising sample loss while maximising efficiency.

Key benefits include liquid nitrogen-free operation, low running costs, interchangeable heads for various sample types, and easy integration into automated systems, offering full flexibility for research or production environments.

Trusted by leading laboratories, the CRFT enhances productivity, reduces risk, and ensures optimal sample integrity.

Organoids

In organoid research, the Grant CRFT system is an invaluable tool for preserving and recovering delicate organoid samples. Organoids, which mimic real organ tissues, require precise temperature control during freezing and thawing to maintain their structural and functional integrity. The CRFT system provides programmable, controlled-rate freezing, ensuring gradual cooling to avoid ice crystal formation that could damage the organoids. During thawing, the system’s precise control minimizes thermal shock, preserving cell viability and function. With real-time data logging and versatile sample compatibility, the CRFT ensures high reproducibility and reliable results, making it essential for advancing organoid-based research.

Cell culture

In cell culture research, the Grant CRFT system offers precise temperature control, ensuring the safe cryopreservation and recovery of sensitive cell lines. Its programmable freezing protocols prevent ice crystal formation, protecting cell membranes and maintaining higher viability post thawing. The system’s real-time data logging allows for repeatable, reliable freezing and thawing processes, which are critical for maintaining cell function and consistency across experiments. By preserving cell cultures without compromising quality, the CRFT system supports high-throughput research, enabling efficient, scalable cell culture storage and recovery.

Additionally, the system enables you to research optimal thawing protocols, facilitating the refinement of cryopreservation techniques to further improve cell recovery rates and viability.

GMP

For GMP applications, the Grant CRFT system ensures compliance with stringent regulatory standards while offering precise, controlled cryopreservation for critical biological materials. Its programmable freezing rates and precise thawing protocols minimize risk of contamination and maintain the integrity of sensitive products, such as cell therapies, vaccines, and biopharmaceuticals. The system’s real-time data logging and audit trail features support full traceability and documentation, which are essential for GMP environments. The CRFT offers consistent, reliable and traceable performance and a hands free alternative to traditional cryopreservation methods.
