RoSS® for Merck Millipore

RoSS^®/ PROTECT

The right material at the right place – what we can learn from oysters.

The frames of the RoSS^® unit are made of heavy duty plastic that withstands even the lowest temperatures and makes up the static frame of RoSS^®. Apart from the guide rails for the stainless steel top and bottom, the frame contains ergonomically shaped grip plates for safe and intuitive handling.

The RoSS^® top and bottom are made of high quality stainless steel with the following three advantages:

1. Maximum durability and strength.
2. When in direct contact with the bag, these features offer the ideal basis for an effective initial and ongoing freezing process. Furthermore, they enable a consistent and gentle defrosting or thaw process.
3. Thanks to the right compounds, tolerances and material strengths of the stainless steel top and bottom, the RoSS^® construction allows for only minimal vibration.
   It also reduces the tension in the structure of the single use bag and offers shock absorbent protection.

Facts:

• Adjustable for all 2D single use bags (e.g. Thermofisher, Entegris, Sartorius, ...)
• Robust, closed and tamper-evident construction
• 3D foam offers additional space and protection for the sensitive compound of the raw bag and tubing – complete immobilization <0 °C
• Space for sterile connectors and long hoses
• Space for satellite samples / ID bags
• Steel plates on the top and bottom for consistent and quickest possible freezing and defrosting times
• High density, which means a reduction of necessary freezer space capacity
• Easy handling during the recycling process – no composite materials
• bag can be visual checked/inspected after filling and before dispensing
