Designed for your application needs

With the ability to operate on universal voltage (100-230V, 50/60Hz), the TSX Universal ULT offers users a single global solution, from early-stage Research and Development through global clinical trials, streamlining procurement and qualification strategies.

Cell and gene therapy

Cell and gene therapy products, including live cells, genetic materials, and viral vectors, are often highly sensitive to temperature fluctuations and contamination. Maintaining the integrity of these materials is crucial for their efficacy and safety. The TSX Universal Series ULT freezers are equipped to safeguard these materials, as they can be placed closer to the workflow, ensuring controlled storage environments, and have been independently tested by Underwriters Laboratories (UL), in accordance with ISO 14644- 14:2016, to meet the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Class 5.5, which helps provide cell and gene therapy companies with confidence in the cleanliness and control of their storage environments.

Biobanking

ULT freezers are an essential part of Biobanks and Biorepositories as they help ensure the security and quality of valuable samples. Our TSX Universal Series ULT freezers are designed to exceed industry standards, providing exceptional performance and efficiency. The new TSX Universal ULTs deliver up to 52% improvement in door open recovery time, consume up to 33% less energy*, and operate at only 44 decibels (dBA). The next-gen ULTs are designed for modern labs, featuring 5V and Power over Ethernet external power supplies. They support labs to be connectivity ready for real-time monitoring, offering valuable insights to streamline operations within your Biobank.
