Plasmatherm Thawer for Cell and Gene Therapy

CELL THERAPY MANUFACTURING

Revolutionize Your Process for Thawing Frozen Cells Including Stem Cells

The cell therapy thawing step of your cell manufacturing process is critical to delivering optimum post-thaw viability for your frozen cell and gene therapy materials. With the Barkey plasmatherm™ Cell and Gene from Azenta, you can achieve unparalleled consistency in your cell thawing process. Using automated, controlled thawing provides a repeatable freeze-thaw process that preserves the integrity of your valuable materials. Move away from unreliable and inconsistent thawing methods – it's time to embrace the power of automated dry bath thawing.

Process Consistency, Minimal Contamination Risk

The plasmatherm dry bath technology provides superior temperature uniformity while minimizing the risk of contamination compared to a standard water bath. By combining the gentleness of a water bath with the hygiene of dry thawing, you achieve process consistency in a GMP clean-room compliant manner. The plasmatherm C&G features an intuitive interface for effortless operation. The ease of use enables consistent performance during every thaw —delivering repeatable processes that meet your compliance requirements and ensuring high post-thaw cell viability.

Versatile Dry Thawing Solution 

The plasmatherm C&G dry thawing system is the perfect solution for thawing frozen blood products, cryopreserved preparations, and infusion solutions. Without exposing cell materials directly to a waterbath, you place vials or tubes between two sealed water-filled bags that cushion your valuable cell therapy materials.  Its advanced technology guarantees even, consistent temperature and time-controlled thawing, resulting in excellent reproducibility and high cell viability.
