Products
Dry-tempering thawing system for blood, plasma and cryopreserved cells
Closed-system dry-tempering device that thaws and warms fresh-frozen plasma, erythrocyte units and cryopreserved cell preparations using water-filled thermal cushions and configurable programs to avoid direct water contact.
Dry-tempering thawing system for cell & gene samples
Hygienic dry-tempering device designed for cryopreserved cell materials and research use in cleanrooms, with configurable programs and cGMP-compatible design.
Infusion and blood warming devices for low- and high-flow applications
Temperature-controlled warming devices for infusion lines and blood transfusion systems, suitable for low-flow and compatible with high-flow rapid infuser workflows.
Vial handling and upright thawing fixtures
Accessories and fixtures that hold multiple vials in upright positions for controlled thawing and warming in cleanroom environments.
Temperature-controlled warming cabinets
Warming cabinets for prewarming infusion fluids, solutions and textiles with controlled internal volume and capacity for multiple containers.
Patient warming systems (warming blankets)
Patient warming blankets and convective warming systems designed for intraoperative, pediatric and specialized surgical applications to maintain perioperative normothermia.
