The Crest Series by Genepoint is a high-performance line of automated storage systems for long-term preservation of sensitive biological materials like tissues, cells, RNA, and body fluids. Operating below -180 °C, Crest combines advanced insulation, vacuum technology, and smart automation to ensure sample safety, temperature stability, and efficient workflows.
Key Features:
• Stable Cryogenic Environment: Double-layer vacuum tanks with narrow necks maintain deep-cold temps (to −190 °C) while minimizing LN₂ use.
• Real-Time Monitoring: Continuous sensors with alarms for temperature and LN₂ deviations.
• Smart Interface: 12” touchscreen shows temperature, LN₂ levels, trends, and alarm history.
• Role-Based Access: Three-tier permission system enhances sample and data security.
• Automatic Defogging: Clear tank opening without extra LN₂ input.
• Low Static Loss: Superior insulation reduces refill frequency and costs.
This flagship version adds intelligent automation for enhanced ergonomics and precision:
• Automated Rack Handling: Hovering lift system allows mid-air box placement.
• Automatic Lid: Opens gently to reduce disturbance and preserve temperature.
• Rotating Carousel: Brings target rack forward automatically—no manual reaching.
• Suspension Arm: Enables smooth rack movement within the tank.
• Rack Separation System: Mechanically separates racks for safe handling at ultra-low temps.
Ideal for: High-use facilities needing ergonomic, automated workflows.
Offers the same cryogenic performance and smart monitoring as the advanced model, with streamlined manual handling:
• Manual Rack Lifting: Vertical lift with smart components for fast, safe access.
• Compact, Efficient Design: High capacity with lower mechanical complexity.
• Shared Features: Includes touchscreen interface and permission-based access.
Ideal for: Biobanks and labs needing reliable storage without full automation.
