Overview

Increase confidence in your cell thawing workflow and ensure sample sterility and consistent thawing performance by using the ThawSTAR® CFT2 Automated Thawing System. With a standardized thawing process that replaces manual, water bath-based thawing, ThawSTAR® eliminates the risk of contamination and delivers controlled thawing profiles. Using this convenient and compact system, you can thaw your cells directly in the biosafety cabinet. Simply insert a frozen cryogenic vial and retrieve it once the device alerts you at the end of the thaw cycle, after approximately 2.5 minutes. The ThawSTAR® CFT2 Automated Thawing System can be leveraged early in the R&D phase and scaled into commercial manufacturing.

During vial transport, protect your cells from transient warming events and ensure maximum cell health by using the ThawSTAR® CFT2 Transporter. It provides a portable solution for the handling and transport of frozen vials, from long-term storage in vapor phase liquid nitrogen or in a -80°C freezer, to downstream processing with the ThawSTAR® CFT2 Automated Thawing System.

ThawSTAR® CFT2 Automated Thawing System is compatible with a variety of 1.8 - 2.0 mL vials.

Note: For performance qualification documentation and accessories required to facilitate functional testing, use the ThawSTAR® CFT2 IOPQ Kit (available for separate purchase). Additional ThawSTAR® CFT2 Confirmation Vials to evaluate the performance of the instrument are also available for purchase.

Data Figures

Bar graphs comparing the number of live cells recovered and percentage viability for peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) thawed using ThawSTAR® CFT2 Automated Thawing System versus a water bath.

Figure 1. Frozen PBMCs Thawed Using the ThawSTAR® CFT2 Automated Thawing System Show High Recovery and Viability

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) cryopreserved in CryoStor® CS10 (Catalog #07930) at a concentration of 3 x 107 cells/vial were retrieved from liquid nitrogen, one week after storage. When thawed using the ThawSTAR® CFT2 Automated Thawing System or a water bath, (A) the mean live cell recovery was 2.78 x 107 vs. 2.96 x 107 cells, respectively and (B) the mean viability was 92.8% vs. 93.9%, respectively. The cells were from 3 different donors and were tested in triplicates. Cell recovery and viability was assessed using a Nucleoview counter.

Figure 2. Frozen Monocytes Thawed Using the ThawSTAR® CFT2 Automated Thawing System Show High Recovery and Viability

Monocytes cryopreserved in CryoStor® CS10 (Catalog #07930) at a concentration of 2 x 107 cells/vial were retrieved from liquid nitrogen, one week after storage. When thawed using the ThawSTAR® CFT2 Automated Thawing System or a water bath, (A) the mean live cell recovery was 2.05 x 107 vs. 1.89 x 107 cells, respectively and (B) the mean viability was 95% vs. 94.6%, respectively. The cells were from 3 different donors and were tested in triplicates. Cell recovery and viability was assessed using a Nucleoview counter.

Bar graphs comparing the number of live cells recovered and percentage viability for human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) thawed using ThawSTAR® CFT2 Automated Thawing System versus a water bath.

Figure 3. Frozen hPSCs Thawed Using the ThawSTAR® CFT2 Automated Thawing System Show High Recovery and Viability

Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) cryopreserved in CryoStor® CS10 (Catalog #07930) at a concentration of 1 x 106 cells/vial were retrieved from liquid nitrogen, one week after storage. When thawed using the ThawSTAR® CFT2 Automated Thawing System or a water bath, (A) the mean live cell recovery was 9.05 x 105 vs. 9.35 x 105 cells, respectively and (B) the mean viability was 83.04% vs. 82.93%, respectively. The hPSCs were from 3 different cell lines (M001, 1C, and H9) and were tested in triplicates. Cell recovery and viability was assessed using a Nucleoview counter.
