Ultra-Low Temperature Storage of Biological Materials
In vitro fertilized (IVF) cells, other living cells, tissues, vaccines, biological reagents, and other biologics often require low temperature storage in either a ULT freezer (-20°C to -90°C) or liquid nitrogen Dewars (-150°C to -196°C). These ULT freezers and Dewars must be continuously monitored and scrupulously maintained. Independent temperature alarm systems and cryogenic backup systems are essential to insure the viability of these precious biological materials.
Hampshire Controls’ CA5000-C Liquid CO2 and CA5000-N Liquid Nitrogen Freezer Backup Systems are field-proven, ultra-reliable alarm and liquid cryogenic injection systems with 24- to 48-hour battery backup that maintain ultra-low temperatures within a biomedical freezer in the event of freezer mechanical failure, coolant loss, or power outage, thereby safeguarding your precious biological materials.

Our Products
Hampshire Controls Corp is dedicated to safeguarding your precious biological materials with high-performance monitoring and fallback equipment. Our systems, designed specifically for the ultra-low temperature applications, ensure that facilities maintaining cold chains can operate with absolute confidence, preventing costly losses and ensuring long-term sample viability.
Biomedical Freezer Backup Systems
When dealing with ultra-low temperature storage, reliance on a single mechanical cooling system introduces a critical point of failure. Our line of backup protection systems is designed to step in precisely when standard hardware fails.
In the event of a mechanical failure, sudden coolant loss, or a facility-wide power outage, these systems automatically initiate liquid cryogenic injection. This crucial intervention maintains ultra-low temperatures within a biomedical freezer, ensuring that a compromised ULT freezer does not result in ruined research or temperature-compromised vaccines.
Cryogenic Temperature Monitor/Alarms
Continuous surveillance is the backbone of proper laboratory risk management. Our advanced cryogenic monitoring solutions are built to interface with existing facility infrastructures, providing real-time data and rapid notifications. These devices are meticulously engineered to handle extreme environments, tracking temperatures well below the capabilities of standard commercial hardware.
By providing precise, reliable metrics, they allow laboratory managers to detect early signs of thermal drift before critical thresholds are crossed. These sophisticated temperature alarm systems feature user-programmable alarm delays, audible alerts, visual indicators, and remote notification capabilities, allowing staff to respond swiftly to any environmental anomalies.
Liquid Nitrogen (LN2) Level Monitor Alarm
For liquid nitrogen (LN2) Dewar cryogenic cold chain storage, Hampshire Controls’ LD-215 Liquid Nitrogen Level Detector/Alarm is designed to detect low LN2 level (i.e., impending rising temperature) by using a cryo-RTD probe positioned just below the target liquid/gas phase boundary. When the probe registers a sudden increase in temperature due to LN2 evaporation, the LD-215 goes into alert condition.
The LD-215 and probe include audio and visual alarm indicators, an SPDT relay output, a rechargeable battery backup system, and user-programmable alarm, alarm delay, and alarm mute functions. This comprehensive monitoring setup ensures complete oversight of your specialized storage vessels.
Hampshire Controls multi-probe MPS systems are often used to monitor LN2 levels and provide alerts for up to 8 Dewars simultaneously. These LN2 level monitoring MPS systems provide email and/or SMS text alert notifications
