    • Small Cambridge company.• Founded by Dr John Morris in 1989.•Dedicated to the science of

    cryobiology.

    • Specialising in cryochaintechnology for advanced medicines.

    We’re best known for the VIA Freeze rangeLiquid nitrogen-free controlled rate freezers

    The VIA Freeze range maintain optimal cell viability, deliver consistent quality, clean room compatible and GMP compliant cryopreservation

    Now we’re introducing the VIA Thaw seriesAutomated, dry thawers for cryo-vials and cryo-bags

    The VIA Thaw series standardize cell therapy thawing with a simple, reproducible and traceable process

    The first thawers available in the series are the: • VIA Thaw CB1000 for thawing a

    range of cryo-bag sizes

    • VIA Thaw SC2 for thawing 2 mL screw cap cryo-vials

    Thawing challenges: What’s wrong with water baths?

    Multiple inconsistent elements in standard water bath thawing practice

    Cell Therapy Manufacturers told us water bath thawing had …

    • No standard procedure

    • No standard bath

    • Poor temperature control

    • Poor time control

    • Contamination risks

    • No record of the thaw

    The UK’s Cell and Gene Therapy Catapult identified…

    “a small benchtop thawing system which could …… meet GMP requirements, with a robust reporting architecture, would be fundamental to controlling and monitoring the final stages of release and use of cryopreserved therapies.” 1

    What if the thawed sample is left too long?In poorly controlled water bath thawing cell viability and function is damaged

    P. Mitchell et al. A new automated vial thawer controls the thawing of cryopreserved mesenchymal stem cells to achieve high cell viability and growth potential. Cytotherapy 19.5 (2017):S121-S122

    5 October 2017

    • Mishandling limits the viability and function and at worse destroys cells

    • Typically it is the least-well controlled part of the cryochain

    • Thawing in the clinical setting is likely to be carried out be non-specialist staff

    Capturing the data is critical

    All our freezers and thawers integrate with my.Cryochain - a powerful research and process validation tool

    my.Cryochain makes it easy to standardise freezing and thawing protocols, and easy to audit that processes were properly followed.
