Chart MVE 1500
The CHART MVE 1500 vapour phase dewar is predominantly used for sample storage in the cryogenics facility. Vapour phase dewars minimise potential contamination with Mycoplasma, stay extremely cold regardless of temporary power outages, and are able to be monitored around the clock.
FreezerPro sample tracking software
FreezerPro is the sample management database we use to store information on individual samples and sample locations. Sample information can only be viewed by users with the appropriate permissions. The software is available for all users that store samples within the cryogenics facility.
Label printing service
Our label printing service saves the user time and assists with accurate sample identification, avoiding the chances of mislabelling or misreading that can occur with written labels on sample tubes. Our pre-printed labels are cryogenic-grade and are resistant to cold, ethanol and water. The Cryogenics Supervisor can provide a variety of labels for different tubes, and labels of larger sizes.
