Blood bag processing covers the accessories with which you freeze, flatten and store blood bags in an orderly way in cryogenic storage. For the long-term preservation of blood, plasma and cell products, blood bags are deep-frozen and stored in the vapour or liquid of liquid nitrogen. To keep the bags manageable and space-saving, they are pressed flat during freezing and then arranged in canisters, frames and platform dividers. In this category you will find the matching hardware from Thermo Scientific, supplied with advice, installation and maintenance by Poly Temp Scientific. These accessories complement our cryogenic storage.
The accessories for blood bag processing serve two functions: freezing the bag flat and arranging the bags inside the cryogenic vessel. Which parts you need depends on the blood bag format and the type of storage vessel.
Freezing presses: choose these to press a blood bag flat and to an even thickness during freezing. A bag frozen flat takes up less space, cools through more evenly and is easier to handle and stack later.
Canisters, frames and platform dividers: choose these to place the frozen blood bags in the cryogenic vessel in an orderly way. Sliding canisters, frames and platform dividers hold the bags in position, make optimal use of the available space and keep every bag quick to locate.
Our range consists of the Thermo Scientific blood bag hardware. Below you will find the function and application for each part.
Blood bag freezing presses: the freezing presses press the blood bag flat during freezing, so the bag freezes to an even thickness. There are versions to match the blood bag formats from Fenwal, Gambro and Delmed.
Sliding canisters: the sliding canisters hold one or more flat-frozen blood bags and slide into the rack of the cryogenic vessel, keeping the bags stored in an orderly and protected way.
Frames: the frames hold the blood bags in position within the canister or storage vessel and prevent the bags from shifting against each other during placement and retrieval.
Platform dividers: the platform dividers divide the available space in the cryogenic vessel into fixed positions, so you can arrange the blood bags systematically and quickly locate every position.
The freezing presses and holders are matched to the common blood bag formats, so the bag fits precisely and freezes flat. Choose the version that matches the brand and type of blood bag you use.
Fenwal: suitable for the Fenwal blood bags 4R5461, 4R5462 and 4R9951.
Gambro: suitable for the Gambro blood bags DF-200 and DF-700.
Delmed: suitable for the Delmed blood bags.
A blood bag pressed flat during freezing freezes to an even thickness. This offers several benefits. The bag cools through faster and more evenly, which benefits the quality of the stored product. A flat bag also takes up less space, allowing you to fit more bags in the same cryogenic vessel. Finally, a flat-frozen bag is easier to arrange, stack and locate than an irregularly frozen one. This lets you get the most out of the capacity of your cryogenic storage.
These accessories are used wherever blood, plasma and cell products are stored deep-frozen.
Blood banks and transfusion medicine: freezing and long-term storage of blood and plasma for transfusion, where orderly storage and quick retrieval are essential.
Cell therapy: cryogenic storage of cell and tissue products in blood bags, where even freezing supports the viability of the cells.
Biobanks: systematic and space-efficient archiving of biological samples in liquid nitrogen for long-term research.
Medical diagnostics and research: storing reference and research samples in medical diagnostic and scientific laboratories.
