When working with valuable small-volume samples, precision and efficiency are key. The Barkey vialguard pro features upright vial thawing, ensuring maximum sample recovery while maintaining integrity. Designed for QC laboratories, cell banks, and cGMP environments, the Barkey vialguard pro is an essential solution for secure, reliable, and contamination-free thawing.
Upright thawing is a gold standard in QC routines. With the Barkey vialguard pro, vials are thawed in an upright position to prevent product adherence or contact with the vial stopper.
Thaw several vials simultaneously. Most commercially available cryovials and vials are compatible. Precision temperature ranges from +25 °C to +45 °C to accommodate many protocols, and four customizable programs are included.
Facilitate SOP adherence and support GMP/GLP compliance with consistent operation of the Barkey vialguard pro. Its flexible cushions envelop vials with gentle heat from top to bottom without the need for constant oversight.

Our dry thawing technology uses flexible and durable cushions that are filled with a continuously circulating warming fluid set to your desired temperature for uniform heat distribution. As the cushions securely surround the surface area of each vial, they transfer heat without risk of contamination. Vial holders help to maximize surface contact with the heating cushions while simplifying sample handling in the lab.
Designed for ease of use, the system requires minimal maintenance, with cushion water replacement needed only once per year. Unlike open water baths, which pose a contamination risk due to microbial exposure, Barkey’s closed-loop system ensures a safe, controlled, and contamination-free thawing environment.
