Overview

Ensure consistent thawing of large-volume cryobags with ThawSTAR® CB. With a standardized thawing process that replaces manual, water bath-based thawing, ThawSTAR® CB reduces the risk of human error and standardizes cell thawing for scalable and reproducible results. Simply remove any external packaging and insert a frozen cryobag into a ThawSTAR® CB Barrier Bag to ensure proper positioning during thawing. Then select a Thaw Profile and retrieve the cryobag once the device alerts you at the end of the thaw cycle, after approximately 2 - 8 minutes. (See the ThawSTAR® CB User Manual for complete instructions). ThawSTAR® CB can be leveraged early in the R&D phase and scaled into commercial manufacturing.

ThawSTAR® CB is compatible with most major cryobag manufacturers and sizes, including ƽ’s Frozen Human Peripheral Blood Leukopaks (Catalog #200-0130/200-0131/200-0132).

Data Figures

Figure 1. Frozen Human Peripheral Blood Leukopaks Thawed Using the ThawSTAR® CB Automated Thawing System Show High Recovery and Viability for Pre-wash Assessment

Frozen Human Peripheral Blood Leukopaks (Quarter Size; Catalog #200-0132) were retrieved from liquid nitrogen and thawed using either ThawSTAR® CB Automated Thawing System with appropriately selected thawing settings or a water bath. When thawed using the ThawSTAR® CB Automated Thawing System or a water bath, (A) the mean live cell recovery was 4.42 x 10⁹ vs. 3.58 x 10⁹ cells for Donor 1, 4.53 x 10⁹ vs. 4.95 x 10⁹ cells for Donor 2, 3.94 x 10⁹ vs. 4.52 x 10⁹ cells for Donor 3, respectively. (B) The mean viability of automatic vs. water bath-thawed cells was 93.3% vs. 95.4% for Donor 1, 98.9% vs. 98.3% for Donor 2, and 98.2% vs. 98.5% for Donor 3, 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 CD4+ Cells Thawed Using the ThawSTAR® CB Automated Thawing System Show High Recovery and Viability for Pre-wash Assessment

CD4+ cells cryopreserved in CryoStor® CS10 (Catalog #07930) were retrieved from liquid nitrogen and thawed using either ThawSTAR® CB Automated Thawing System with appropriately selected thawing settings or a water bath. When thawed using the ThawSTAR® CB Automated Thawing System or a water bath, (A) the mean live cell recovery was 1.27 x 10⁹ vs. 1.19 x 10⁹ cells for Donor 1, 1.03 x 10⁹ vs. 1.16 x 10⁹ cells for Donor 2, respectively and (B) the mean viability was 92.0% vs. 93.3% for Donor 1, 95.2% vs. 97.4% for Donor 2, respectively. The cells were from 2 different donors and were tested in triplicates. Cell recovery and viability were assessed using a NucleoView™ counter.
