Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pharmaceutical production machinery and equipment, in particular to a device for freezing, thawing and storing biopharmaceutical materials. Background Art

[0002] Biopharmaceutical materials refer to the raw materials used in the biopharmaceutical process. These materials are usually derived from natural organisms or their derivatives, or they can be artificially synthesized through biotechnology. Biopharmaceutical materials play an important role in the biopharmaceutical industry and are the basis for the manufacture of biological drugs, including but not limited to microorganisms, human, animal, plant and marine organisms, genetically engineered products, etc.

[0003] Before pharmaceutical production, a large number of experiments are needed to determine whether such materials can be used to treat diseases, so these materials need to be preserved. According to the properties and requirements of biopharmaceutical materials, appropriate temperature and humidity need to be selected to store these materials. For example, some biological preparations need to be stored under refrigerated conditions of 2°C to 8°C, while others need to be stored at lower temperatures.

[0004] Most of the current storage methods use traditional low-temperature refrigerators and low-temperature cold storages to freeze biopharmaceutical materials. That is, containers containing biopharmaceutical materials are placed in low-temperature refrigerators and low-temperature cold storages for freezing. However, during freezing, the freezing speeds of materials located at different positions in the freezer are different. That is, the materials closer to the cold source will be frozen quickly, while the freezing time of materials farther away from the cold source will be relatively longer, which will lead to large differences in freezing time and uneven freezing degree of materials in the same batch.

[0005] In view of this, this application is hereby filed. Utility Model Content
