Water bath thawers are heavy, messy, prone to contamination and energy intensive. On top of theses hassles, technicians never know the real temperature of their thawing product. Sticking a hand in warm water can’t beat measuring the product’s temperature.
We’re thrilled to announce that the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, one of the world’s most respected cancer treatment centers, is now using ZipThaw.

Looking back at 2024: ZipThaw and ZipSleeve installations reached a record high. Major hospital groups, small community hospitals, cell & gene therapy researchers, veterinary teaching centers and the US Armed Forces all purchased, installed and now actively use ZipThaw. International sales have also increased.

At the recent AABB conference in Houston, we saw more interest in ZipThaw than ever. Frustration with heavy, slow and recalled water-based devices are leading more and more people to ZipThaw, an FDA cleared, AABB standards compliant, truly dry, blood-product thawing device.

This past weekend at the AABB in Houston, both FreMon Scientific and ZipThaw distributor Genesis BPS ran show booths. Nearly 3,000 attendees from blood banking and cell and gene therapy labs around the world attended.
Visit booth #657 at the Houston AABB for a demo of ZipThaw, a totally dry, next generation plasma thawing device.
We’re demonstrating ZipThaw at the AABB this week, but before we dive into the show, we want to thank Sarah Perry and the Texas A&M Small Animal Teaching Hospital for hosting us.

FreMon Scientific will be on the road to demo ZipThaw to medical teams who need blood product thawing alternatives to messy water baths.
ZipThaw is a dry medical device for hassle-free thawing with almost no maintenance and low energy requirements.
It’s portable, fast and less expensive per thaw than water baths.
It’s been a big week across North America for ZipThaw. FMS leadership met with our manufacturer, Minnetronix, in St Paul MN, to review production and shipments of ZipThaw. At the same time, our distributor, GenesisBPS, presents ZipThaw to prospective buyers ISCT 2024 in Vancouver, Canada. Enjoy the photos:

People often ask if ZipThaw is FDA approved. Medical devices are “cleared” while pharmaceuticals are “approved” by the FDA. ZipThaw is FDA 510k cleared as a class 2 medical device. ZipThaw also has CE Mark and MDR compliance, which means it can be used in the European Union (EU). ZipThaw also has received ISO 13485 and UL authorization, among other compliance standards, which is a way of determining safety for electronic devices.
Lastly, ZipThaw is rated as AABB Standards-Compliant, which is the premier blood banking industry association and offers additional product compliance standards. This program was called SCOPE and has been renamed. More on AABB standards here.
Not all plasma thawing devices — almost all of which are water baths — have FDA clearance. ZipThaw has FDA clearance as well as a long list of other standards compliances. ZipThaw is an effective, fast, dry, portable and nearly maintenance free medical device for rapid plasma thawing. There is no water to clean with toxic chemicals. It has a handle, simply pick it up to move it. For a quote, email info@fremonscientific.com.
ZipThaw is a portable, dry, precise, and fast way to thaw plasma and blood products. It’s also energy efficient. ZipThaw goes from ambient to full thawing temperature in about 7 minutes using only 104 Watt-Hrs. If ZipThaw is set to the ready-to-use mode, energy use is only 125 Watt-Hrs.
At peak power, with its two thawing chambers running, ZipThaw only draws a maximum of 900 watts — less than a portable hair dryer set to low — and only for a few minutes during the thaw cycle.
Are your lab circuits maxed out? ZipThaw will never draw enough power to create a circuit overload.
Traditional wet thawing devices with circulating water at 37°C pull a significant amount of energy: 6-to-8X the energy consumption of ZipThaw.
ZipThaw’s small footprint and low maintenance also makes it a good choice for blood banks with tight space. ZipThaw has no circulating water that needs weekly changing and algaecides — and it doesn’t need to be near a sink.
ZipThaw can sit quietly in Idle or Stand-By mode and minimize power consumption while always being ready. ZipThaw can also be tucked safely under the bench, then plugged in and ready to go in minutes.
Blood Banks concerned about space constraints, energy and maintenance — use ZipThaw to deliver optimal thawing with minimal space, energy and maintenance.
To purchase ZipThaw, please email info@fremonscientific.com or call 480-868-9399.
It’s been a big few weeks at FreMon Scientific. ZipThaw sales continue to reach more and more blood banks and clinics, and we’re excited to welcome two new leaders to the FMS team: CEO Jeff Lersch and COO Andrew Wolf.
Linda Fabian, Director of National Accounts at FreMon Scientific, attended the Arizona Cord Blood Conference yesterday in Tempe, Arizona.

Becoming the choice of many ships, military hospitals and VA facilities, ZipThaw changes the way blood products are thawed. The completely dry ZipThaw process eliminates cumbersome water baths which require weekly maintenance, significant power consumption and can’t be easily moved. This makes ZipThaw the go-to device for accuracy and rapid thawing.
FDA cleared. AABB Scope certified. Manufactured in the USA. Company co-founded by a Vietnam War combat veteran. Can be found on ECAT and GSA through GSS. Contact us to learn more info@fremonscientific.com
