Barkey Plasmatherm Laboratory plasma thawer

• Blood banks and transfusion services for preparing plasma for patient use.
• Research laboratories requiring precise thawing of biological samples.
• Pharmaceutical production for thawing intermediate products or reagents.
• Hospitals and clinics for immediate preparation of plasma and blood components.

Typical capacity

Units of this type commonly handle 1-4 plasma bags simultaneously, depending on the model variant.

Temperature range

Typically operates within a controlled range of +35°C to +37°C for safe thawing.

Thawing time

For this class of equipment, thawing times are typically between 10-20 minutes for standard plasma bags.

Power supply

Commonly requires a standard single-phase electrical supply, typically 230V, 50Hz for UK operation.

Safety features

Units typically include audible and visual alarms for over-temperature, under-temperature, and cycle completion.

Construction materials

Often constructed with stainless steel or medical-grade plastics for hygiene and durability.

Footprint

Laboratory plasma thawers are typically benchtop units, designed for compact installation in laboratory settings.
