  • ASKION, a leading innovator in biobanking and cryogenic storage solutions. Our state-of-the-art hermetic storage devices are set to change the biobanking landscape, offering unparalleled efficiency, automation and sample integrity.
    The ASKION HS 200 system meets the stringent requirements of modern biobanks, biorepositories and LN2-based storage collections. Available in three sizes (S, M, L), the HS 200 system ensures safe and reliable storage of biological samples at cryogenic temperatures down to -185°C. This advanced system integrates seamlessly with ASKION's C-line® Control software, providing comprehensive documentation and management of all relevant system parameters and sample data.


    Key features of the ASKION HS 200 system:
    1.    Automated sample storage: The HS 200 system offers fully automated storage in the nitrogen gas phase, ensuring that samples are stored at optimal temperatures below -130°C. This automation minimises the risk of human error and increases sample integrity.
    2.    Robust sample handling: Equipped with a pick-and-place robot, the HS 200 system manages individual samples and SBS racks within the cryogenic environment. This automated handling ensures an ice-free and contamination-free process, maintaining a continuous cold chain.
    3.    Modular and scalable design: The modular design of the HS 200 system allows for easy expansion and scalability. Biobanks can increase their storage capacity over time without disrupting existing workflows or compromising stored samples.
    4.    Regulatory compliance and quality assurance: The HS 200 system is GMP and ISO 20387 compliant, ensuring it meets the highest standards of quality and reliability. The system's integrated scanners and gripper changing system further enhance its efficiency and accuracy.
    5.    User-friendly interface: ASKION's C-line® Control software provides an intuitive interface for managing the HS 200 system. Users can easily monitor and control the storage environment to ensure optimal conditions for sample preservation.
