Safeguarding Your Samples with Precision: The ASKION Cryogenic Workflow

At ASKION, our mission is clear: to deliver cutting-edge cryogenic technology that ensures the absolute integrity of your biological samples. Our automated freezing and storage systems provide seamless, end-to-end protection—from initial freezing to long-term storage and retrieval.

Uninterrupted Cold Chain Integrity

Your samples deserve uncompromising care. ASKION’s cryogenic systems maintain ultra-low temperatures—down to -130°C—throughout every phase of the workflow:

Freezing, transport, and storage are all managed without temperature fluctuations.
No human interference means no accidental warming to ambient conditions, eliminating risks of degradation or error.
Redundant backup systems ensure continuous operation and sample safety, even in unexpected scenarios.

Hermetic Storage for Dry Cold Automation

Our patented hermetic storage environment creates a dry, ice-free zone where automation thrives:

Prevents icing, barcode misreads, and robotic malfunctions.
Enables reliable, long-term sample handling without compromise.
