ThawSTAR® CB Cryobag Thawing System
Automated, water-free cryobag thawing for GMP workflows
The ThawSTAR® CB is a fully automated, sensor-driven thawing system designed to replace manual water bath methods for cryobags ranging from 25 to 1000 mL. Built for consistency, sterility, and ease of use, the ThawSTAR CB is ideal for cell therapy manufacturing, clinical applications, and regulated laboratory environments where reproducibility and contamination control are critical.
By eliminating the variability and contamination risks of manual thawing, the ThawSTAR CB brings confidence and control to a previously inconsistent process—ensuring optimal cell recovery and performance across every batch.
- Automated, water-free thawing: Avoids the risks of water-based methods by providing a clean, closed thawing process—no need for water baths or manual intervention. Automated algorithms drive thawing with biosample sensing technology.
- Standardized and reproducible results: Patented heating technology and sensor-based algorithms and temperature-driven analytics ensure consistent thawing profiles, helping reduce variability and human error.
- Cryobag compatibility: Supports multiple bag formats and volumes from leading manufacturers like OriGen, Charter, and Miltenyi—enhancing flexibility in clinical and commercial workflows.
- Rapid and controlled Thawing: Thaw times range from 2 to 8 minutes, depending on fill volume, with protocols customizable between 37°C and 50°C for optimal viability.
- Data logging for compliance: Thawing data is automatically captured and exportable in CSV format, supporting GMP documentation and regulatory audits. Boasts connectivity with chain-of-custody solutions to eliminate sample tracking errors.
- Single-use barrier bags reduce the risk of biosample loss and contamination and positions cryobags for optimal thaw performance.
