Our expertise
Asymptote combines world leading research into the science of cell freezing with engineering expertise to create pioneering cryochain technology for advanced medicines.
Our portfolio of innovative products preserve cell viability and function during cryogenic processing of cellular therapies – from freezing to thawing – to support our customers’ work to improve healthcare throughout the world.
About usOur Complete Cryochain Platform
The Asymptote GMP compatible technology preserves cell viability during cryogenic processing of cellular therapies.
Controlled Rate Freezing
Liquid nitrogen-free controlled rate freezers that maintain optimal post-thaw cell function and deliver consistent quality, clean room compatible and GMP compliant cryopreservation.
Automated thawing
Automated, dry conduction thawers for user-customizable, consistent cell thawing in the lab or clinic, with complete process verification log.
Centralized cryochain control
All Asymptote's products integrate with my.Cryochain to standardize and audit remote processes from any web-browser.
my.CryochainThe VIA Freeze range, automated thawers and my.Cryochain form an integrated end-to-end cryochain solution for most vial and container types.
