Friocell ^{ECO & EVO}

Temperature Controlled Chamber

Friocell devices provide precise temperature control and uniformity through a patented forced air convection system that moves air vertically and horizontally inside the chamber. Friocell devices are suitable for ICH Q1A stability testing of pharmaceutical and cosmetics products, material quality testing, shelf life testing of food and beverage products, freeze-thaw studies, and ICH Q1B photostability testing.

Device Features & Optional Equipment

Pharmaceutical-Grade Stainless Steel Chamber

Friocell devices are equipped with a pharmaceutical grade AISI 304 stainless steel chamber with a double wall construction to prolong life expectancy. The inner chamber features a seamless, rounded corner design and is fully removable for easier cleaning and sterilization. The door of the chamber employs a patented 4-point closing system that seals the door to the chamber gasket and enables hands-free opening and closing.

AISI 304 stainless steel chamber – 316L stainless steel option available.

Double wall chamber construction with 5 layers of insulation for more uniform internal chamber conditions.

Removable inner chamber with seamless, rounded corner design for easier cleaning and sterilization.

(2″) 50 mm stainless steel port – (1″) 25, (2″) 50, (4″) 100 mm access port options available.

Shelf brackets that do not penetrate the chamber walls – brackets are molded into the inner chamber walls 2.8″ apart.

Inner glass door allows for viewing into the chamber without affecting internal conditions.

4-point closing system that seals the door to the chamber gasket – automatic or key door lock options availabe, door sensor and alarm option available.

Precise & Automated Control of Cycle Parameters

BMT climate chambers are standard equipped with the ECO digital controller and can be upgraded to the advanced EVO digital controller for expanded functionality and features. Both the ECO and EVO controllers utilize fuzzy logic to assess process data, including operation temperature, chamber size, and other controlled elements. Based on the assessed data, the controller can make continuous adjustments to input values, such as heating intensity or cooling, to optimally regulate internal chamber conditions. With the goal of minimizing the time required to meet set process parameters, devices equipped with either the ECO or EVO controller can quickly ramp up to the exact temperature set point without overshooting. The result is reduced overall cycle time, power consumption, and recovery times after opening the chamber door(s).
