ICECUBE 14 S‑B: Automated Sorter with Touch Screen The IceCube 14 S‑B is a compact, computer-controlled freezing system designed for precise cryopreservation of biological samples such as sperm, embryos, blood ingredients, and other sensitive materials. It features an integrated touch screen interface for intuitive control and real-time monitoring of freezing protocols. The device supports programming of multi-stage freezing curves and automatically records temperature files and crystallization processes during each cycle.

Main Benefits

- Programming of multi-stage freezing curves with adjustable starting temperature - Instant display of temperature curves and crystallization processes inside vials or tubes - Automatic data recording for each freezing cycle - Compact and user-friendly design with touch screen - Reliable operation even without an external computer, thanks to an independent microcontroller (depending on configuration)

Ingredients

- Freezing chamber volume: approximately 16.4 liters, made of stainless steel, with a hinged transparent lid - Temperature range: from +40 °C to –180 °C - Freezing rate: from 0.01 to 60 °C per minute - Heating rate: from 0.01 to 15 °C per minute - Temperature display accuracy: 0.01 °C - Capacity: up to approximately 1080 tubes (vials) with a capacity of 0.5 ml or 0.25 ml per cycle (depending on configuration)

Instructions for Use

This device is intended for controlled-rate freezing of biological samples using a liquid nitrogen supply. It connects to a pressurized LN₂ container via a connection kit and operates through software control via the integrated touch screen or an external computer. A qualified veterinarian or laboratory specialist should determine the appropriate freezing protocol based on species, sample type, and clinical or research requirements.

Package Size

Available as model 14 S‑B, configured to operate at 230 V and includes a touch screen (computer not included). Other variants (such as 115 V) are available but not mentioned here.

Note

Optional accessories such as autoseeding racks, loaders, LN₂ pressure containers, and handling tools are available separately to enhance workflow and sample handling.
