Understanding the optimal performance of contact shock freezers
19 Feb 2020Due to the massive volumes of blood products that a typical Blood Centre collects and supplies on any given day, a thorough understanding of the operational capabilities of the capital equipment is one of the key attributes for effective and efficient inventory management of the blood components. This white paper estimates the freezing capacity of the Contact Shock Freezer from B Medical Systems against various operational scenarios in a blood centre on a daily basis to help optimise the operational efficiency.

Refrigerators Freezers and CryogenicsRefrigerators, Freezers & Cryogenics can be used for preservation or experimental purposes. Types of freezers include deep freeze, -80C°C, ultra-low temperature, explosion proof, cryogenic and controlled rate freezers. Freezing is also used in freeze-drying equipment for dehydration processes. Feature to consider in freezers include temperature control and recorders, failure alarms and self-closing mechanisms.Evaporators and Freeze DryersCentrifugal evaporation is used for solvent removal from a sample. This is a useful technique for sample concentration or sample drying. Many centrifugal evaporators are modular with a central vacuum pump for generating low pressure. Useful features of evaporators or vacuum ovens include minimal solvent bumping, solvent resistance, computer control, temperature regulation and benchtop design.Sample HandlingProper and careful handling of samples is important in scientific studies to ensure the integrity of specimens. This will prevent deterioration and cross contamination, and improve the accuracy of sample tracking procedures.Plasma
