50 New Controlled-Rate Freezers for Optimal Sample Protection Launched
In line with the need for pharmaceutical research, cell and gene therapy, vaccine production and biobanking laboratories for dependable sample protection, the new series of controlled-rate freezers from Thermo Fisher Scientific provides precise, repeatable freezing capabilities, while enhancing data traceability to support GMP and 21 CFR part 11 requirements.
The Thermo Scientific CryoMed Controlled-Rate Freezers (CRF) safeguard sample safety and integrity using Type T thermocouples for real-time monitoring of chamber and sample temperatures. Precise temperature control, temperature uniformity and accelerated freezing are enabled via an air-handling system and dual solenoid valves capable of balancing liquid nitrogen (LN2) injection volumes. A remote alarm capability prompts corrective action to ensure ideal conditions are always maintained, notifying users of thermocouple failures, heater malfunction, breach of high/low temperature limits and power failures. Furthermore, the freezers’ preventative maintenance indicator for LN2 solenoid replacement limits downtime.
Additionally, the CryoMed CRF systems feature built-in functionality specifically designed to support GMP and 21 CFR part 11 requirements, making it easier for laboratories to maintain regulatory compliance. An intuitive touchscreen user interface facilitates data traceability, allowing for easy set-up, operation and review of freezing runs, as well as events monitoring. Run and event logs can be exported as .pdf files onto a USB stick connected to the CryoMed CRF systems. Compatibility with vaporised hydrogen peroxide (VHP) cleaning techniques.
The CryoMed CRF systems are designed to suit varying application needs, being available in three capacities, while also offering six pre-set and up to 14 user-defined, custom freezing profiles. For maximum ease-of-use, a ‘run last’ feature allows the same profile to be run consecutively at the touch of a button. The freezers enable three levels of accessibility to authorised personnel only, for optimal protection of freezing profiles and data.

Advanced Peltier Technology for High Performance and Energy Efficiency
The new Memmert constant climate chamber HPPeco and the cooled incubator IPPeco work with a level of efficiency that has never been achieved before. In terms of energy consumption, they leave both compressor-cooled devices and devices with previous Peltier technology far behind. With a maximum interior volume of 2140 litres, the new products are also suitable for use in large laboratories.
With the introduction of the Peltier cooled incubator IPP in 2000, Memmert was the first manufacturer worldwide to prove that the energy-saving Peltier technology can also be used for heating and cooling high-performance temperature control devices. Now the southern German laboratory equipment manufacturer has given its two Peltier flagship products an extensive facelift. Thanks to perfectly coordinated systems, the constant climate chamber HPPeco and the Peltier cooled incubator IPPeco achieve new top values ??in energy efficiency. “With this, we have now finally put the issue of low efficiency of Peltier elements to rest,” explained Philipp Schwarm, Managing Director and Head of Development at Memmert. Internal measurements show that the energy consumption of both new Peltier appliances remains far below that of standard appliances on the market at every climate point according to ICH-Guideline Q1A and at every set temperature.
The fine-tuning of the design and control also optimised the reliability of the two Peltier devices. The extremely homogeneous and stable temperature distribution guarantees reproducible results over a long period of time. In addition, the IPPeco cooled incubator contributes to a more efficient daily laboratory routine with extremely short times for recovery after opening the door, as well as for heating and cooling.

New Mirrors for Hygiene-controlled Environments Announced
Teknomek, the hygienic furniture specialist, has launched a new range of stainless steel mirrors for hygiene-controlled environments. The products are available with or without mounting holes, so they can be sealed direct to walls.
Sue Springett, Commercial Manager at Teknomek, said: “It’s prudent to avoid drilling whenever possible and that’s not just down to avoiding wall damage, it’s hygienic best-practice. Businesses need to work hard to reduce risks of microbial contamination and bacteria will flourish in any nook or cranny that’s hard to clean.
“In recent years, there has been at least one documented incidence of a listeriosis outbreak linked back to dirt traps in drilled holes. It’s simply good practice to close down each and every chink in the armour when comes to protecting people’s health.”
The new mirrors meet the dual needs of hygiene control and health and safety. Manufactured from mirror-polished 304-grade stainless steel, there is no risk of the product corroding or breaking. They also feature de-burred edges and rounded corners to prevent injury.
The mirrors are vandal-proof and are tough enough to be used in the harshest working environments. They are available in sizes ranging from 300mm x 300mm up to 1800mm x 600mm.
