BioLine is a comprehensive refrigeration range designed to deal with special bioscience needs. BioLine is distinct from other 'spark-free' freezers on the market, as both the interior and the exterior of all units have been shown to comply with the European guidelines contained in the ATEX [EN/IEC60079-15] directive which means they are safe for use in potentially explosive atmospheres (Zone 2 [Category 3]). The unique air distribution system is combined with BioLine’s innovative 'smart defrost' function to maintain temperature consistency for biostorage: Smart defrost is an intelligent automatic defrosting control that makes sure the absolute minimum of time and energy is used during each defrost cycle. Whilst the air distribution system which directs the cold air down a special plate to the rear of the cabinet interior and back up to the evaporator fan mounted in the top, ensures a uniform temperature throughout using only a minimum of energy. And by also using cyclopentane to foam the insulation material and hydrocarbon refrigerants, BioLine storage solutions have only minimal environmental impact.

• MPC 4.6 control unit provides access to audible and visual temperature alarms; high/low temperature log and out of range time/temperature history; audible and visual door open alarm; calibration of sensors

• Smart defrost: intelligent automatic system makes sure an absolute minimum of time and energy is used during each defrost cycle

BioCompact II freezers:
BioCompact II is the entry level product range within BioLine. These freezer cabinets are for basic storage purposes where the focus is on reliability and stringent control. The interior is plastic for easy cleaning and the family incorporates cabinets with a small footprint (models 210 and 410) - perfect biostorage solution when space is limited.
Note: BioCompact RF210 and RF410 models are also offered without audible temperature alarms or E-sensor, this lower cost option is ideal if an in-house monitoring system is available. The 210 and 410 models are available with glass door (LED lighting built into door). BioCompact 210 cabinets may be stacked or can be wall hung. Stacked 210s can also be ordered built together in any combination – e.g. two fridges, two freezers or a fridge with a freezer. For assistance regarding any of these options please contact Avantor for details.

BioMidi freezers:
The BioMidi cabinets are designed to meet the majority of biomaterial freezer requirements, with very few limitations. The specifications include the major features from the top-of-the-range BioPlus models, but they are constructed from a combination of stainless steel and aluminium, BioMidi provides a lower cost option. In addition the BioMidi EF425 is available offering a -40 °C freezer version for an extended temperature range. The functional design of the BioMidi cabinet ensures easy, ergonomically correct access to the storage space. The BioMidi 625 offers ample storage space, whilst the BioMidi 425 takes up limited wall space in the laboratory. These cabinets are highly reliable with great temperature control.
Note: Options include stainless steel exterior and draft shield inner doors (help retain temperatures during door openings). Please contact Avantor for full details.

BioPlus freezers:
The BioPlus range is designed for storage of the most delicate biomaterials, in situations where even tiny fluctuations in conditions inside the storage cabinet can have a serious effect on the contents.

For pricing please contact Avantor for a quotation.

BioLine cabinets are designed to be customised to the specific requirements of each user. For this reason the cabinets listed are offered without interior accessories. Shelf options include plastic coated wire shelves (not suitable for use with draft shield inner doors), stainless steel wire shelves and stainless steel perforated shelves designed to provide maximum stability.
