As a world wide leader in cryobiology for
more than 10 years, Cryo Bio System designs, manufactures and markets
a line of consumables, equipments and storage and management systems,
dedicated to the cryopreservation of all types of biological samples
(serum, live cells, DNA, embryos, gametes, etc.). We serve a range
of biomedical applications, including scientific research and in assisted
reproductive medicine CBS™ high-security straws
CONSUMABLES
CBS™ High-Security straws are specifically designed for storage
of biological samples in liquid nitrogen and nitrogen vapour, but also
in ultra-low temperature mechanical freezers. Applications include storage
of serum, plasma, buffy-coat and other blood fractions, cell suspension,
bacterial or viral strains, gametes and embryos.
CBS™ Goblets
CBS™ goblets are the removable storage elements placed in the liquid
nitrogen container. Each goblet can hold sub compartments of different
colours called visotubes. Three forms of visotubes are available (round,
triangular, hexagonal), with different capacities for 0.5 ml and 1 ml
type straws.
CBS™ Canisters
CBS™ canisters are the racks that hold the goblets on top of each
other in liquid nitrogen or nitrogen vapour freezers. Storage in goblets
and canisters can be adapted to all types of storage containers, including
very-low temperature mechanical freezers.
Other Consumables
Miscellaneous
elements compatible with CBS™ consumables, equipments
and systems such as aspiration/injection tubing, connectors, nozzles,
etc. to perform the filling procedure of the straws, emptying and manipulation
devices.
EQUIPMENT
MAPI
CBS™ MAPI is
an automated system for packaging and identification of biological
samples. From an open primary sample tube, MAPI automatically
fills 0.5 ml CBS™ straws, heat-seals both ends, prints bar code
and/or alphanumerical identification on the straw's sleeve and instantly
revalidates the process by immediately proofreading the barcode.
PACE
CBS™ PACE is a semi-automated system for packaging of biological
samples. From an open primary sample tube, PACE automatically fills and
heat-seals both ends of pre-printed (bar code and/or alphanumerical identification)
0.5 or 1 ml CBS™ straws.
SYMS
CBS™ SYMS is a single unit for autogenic sealing of all types of
CBS™ straws.
CBS™ Straw-Cut
CBS™ Straw-Cut is the SAFE solution for opening of CBS™ straws.
Storage Management Software
CBS™ storage
management software is the perfect companion for CBS™ products.
It pilots the above equipment, completing CBS™ systems as an
integrated solution for the creation and management of bio repositories.
CRYOPRESERVATION
CBS™ high security straws
The CBS™ Cryobiostraw is designed for the cryostorage of biological samples
of human origin. The physical properties of the Cryobiostraw and the method of
filling and sealing provide a leak proof environment for the specimen even when
immersed in liquid nitrogen. Manufactured with biocompatible materials, the CBS™ straw
is ideal for use in Assisted Reproduction Technologies, particularly for cryopreservation
of sperm and embryos.
Straw Accessories
Miscellaneous
elements compatible with CBS™ consumables and equipments
such as filling nozzles, ID tubes, rods and jackets.
SYMS
SYMS mini-pump for individual CBS™ sperm straw filling. CBS™ SYMS
sealing unit to seal by "thermal impulse" the CBS™ straws on
both ends.
Micro-aspirator
The micro-aspirator is used to manually fill all straws manufactured by Cryo
Bio System without risk of contamination.
Visotubes, Goblets and Canisters
CBS™ goblets are the removable storage elements placed in the liquid
nitrogen container. Each goblet can hold sub-compartments of different colours
called
visotubes. Three forms of visotubes are available (round, triangular, hexagonal)
with different storage capacities.
CBS™ canisters are the vertical racks that hold the goblets on top of
each other (2 to 6 levels) in liquid nitrogen or nitrogen vapour freezers.
MEDIA
All the media listed in this catalogue are prepared in our production
laboratory which, like the other departments that manufacture consumable goods at IMV Technologies,
was awarded ISO 9002 certification by AFAQ (No. QUAL/1999/13123).
Cryo Bio System proposes:
CLASSIC PRODUCTS
Cryo Bio System can now offer its own Embryo
Transfer Catheter, flexible, for
all types of transfers. Sterilized by gamma irradiation.
The following OB/GYN products are currently available:
Multi-Function
Hystero Catheter (HSMU™ Catheter), medical device for
hysterosalpingosonography and Saline Infusion Sonohysterography (SIS), with
possibility of extensive biopsy
of the endometrium.
The HSV High Security Vitrification Kit
Indications
Vitrification of oocytes and embryos.
Description
The HSV High Security Vitrification Kit is composed of 3 parts:
- An HSV STRAW open and flared on one end. The flared end allows for a safe introduction of the capillary tube as described below. The other end is factory sealed and weighted with a medical grade stainless steel rod, to prevent buoyancy in liquid nitrogen. The HSV STRAW should be thermal sealed using the Syms Sealer designed by Cryo Bio System.
- A capillary tube with a pre-formed gutter on one end, and the other colored end being a handling rod (white, blue, red, green, yellow or purple) for easy sample identification. The gutter end receives and protects the sample to be vitrified.
- A blue plastic insertion and removing device. The long end of the device inserts the capillary tube with the sample into the straw at the optimal depth, about 1 mm from the weighted rod clear resin plug.
Packaged in a peel-off blister pack (4 kits).
Identification
The HSV Kit can be identified by using LN2 resistant labels.
