ThawSTAR Vial Thawing Systems
The ThawSTAR Thawing System replaces unstandardized manual methods of thawing samples with controlled profile thawing and can be leveraged early in the R&D phase and scaled into commercial manufacturing and point of care.
Several factors including cell size and choice of cryopreservation media can affect the optimal thawing profile, viability, and function. ThawSTAR instruments will undergo custom tuning using advanced algorithms for the specific product under development, in order to ensure that the optimal thaw rate and cell health is achieved.
ThawSTAR® CFT2
Cell Thawing and Transport System for Optimal Thaw Rate
The ThawSTAR CFT2 Thawing System replaces non-standard manual methods with controlled profile thawing and can be leveraged early in the R&D phase and scaled into commercial manufacturing and point of care.
The ThawSTAR CFT2 Thawing System for vials is the larger of two portable thawing solutions. It can hold a 1.8 – 2 mL mL cryogenic vial and has a fill volume of 0.8 – 1.5 mL.
