The only Microwave Plasma Defroster that has a totally controlled and monitored thaw! This new technology offers many advantages over traditional methods of thawing blood. Internal blood plasma temperatures can now be monitored during the thawing process, ensuring maximum use of each bag. Thawing time is now reduced to as little as 3½ minutes; an asset for emergency situations. This unit offers significant improvement in efficiency, plasma quality assurance, reduced energy consumption, waste reduction and cost benefit to the laboratory. With the ArkBio Microwave Plasma Defroster the cost is upfront with no ongoing disposable supplies needed, which incur costs in some cases thousands of dollars per year.
