Celsius® CFT (Controlled Freeze & Thaw) is a platform technology for controlled-rate freezing and thawing of biopharmaceutical products. Celsius® CFT features Celsius® Paks which are sterile, pre-assembled and ready to use single-use bags designed to fit into reusable structural frames. Celsius® CFT minimizes cryo-concentration during freeze & thaw cycles. Celsius® CFT processes up to 100L of product per cycle in the Celsius® FT100 system and offers well-qualified shipping solutions for transferring frozen drug substances around the world.
Maximum Product Security:
- Extensive functional qualification in real process conditions
- Optimized logistics from fill through drain
- Minimize cryo-concentration and stabilize drug substances
Excellent Process Reliability:
- Total integration with monitoring of critical process parameters and process control
- Pre-qualified shipper (ASTM D4169 AL1 mechanical ISTA7D extreme summer thermal performances)
- Excellent reproducibility of the freeze and thaw cycles
Creates Process Flexibility:
- Improves production management
- Facilitates any process transfer
- Reduces process time with fast freeze and thaw processes
Scalable:
- In performances: Benchtop (30mL) to production (100L)
- In capacity: Flexible production platform (up to 100L with Celsius® FT100)
- In contact material: Same film for all Celsius® products for easy scale-up
Celsius® Paks are available in sizes of 1L, 2L, 8.3L and 16.6L nominal fill volumes and feature a variety of connections to allow fluid transfer across the entire drug manufacturing process.
Inlet and outlet connectors
- Opta® SFT Male enables sterile connections to other single-use systems
- CPC quick couplers are used for either sanitary connection or aseptic connection under ISO5 laminar air flow to single-use systems
- Press in plug equipped with clear C-Flex® for sterile weld connection with BioWelder® TC and sterile seal disconnection with BioSealer®
Celsius® Pak feature a venting line which is used after filling to pressurize the Celsius® Pak with air or nitrogen to guarantee performances of the controlled-rate freeze and thaw process:
- Midisart® BV Air Filter for sterile venting
- CPC quick couplers are used for non-aseptic venting with sanitary connection
Thermowell
For non-invasive product temperature measurement during freezing and thawing operations, Celsius® Paks are equipped with a thermowell, a sealed-end EVA tube with a luer connector to monitor critical process parameters at the last point to freeze.
Tubes
- Liveo™ Pharma 50 silicone tubing
- Clear C-Flex® tubing allows for sterile weld connection with BioWelder® TC and sterile seal disconnection with BioSealer®
- EVA tubing enables sterile seal disconnection with Vante™ sealer
All fluid-contact components of Celsius® Pak PDS are secured by supply contracts and quality agreements to provide:
- Exceptional quality, change control and business continuity with at least 24 months change notification
- Exceptional delivery reliability with available stocks
- Compliance to quality standards such as USP <87> and USP <88>, TSE-BSE, REACH
