CellPhire Therapeutics recently demonstrated their clinical frozen platelet product can be thawed faster with ZipThaw, the only dry device tested that’s FDA cleared and AABB standards compliant.
ZipThaw had the shorter cycle times and performed comparably in post-thaw testing.
Saving the lives of US Armed Forces service members motivates us to make ZipThaw the new standard for medical thawing.
We’ve worked with the US Army Institute of Surgical Research to compare ZipThaw, a dry next-gen thawing device, with a predicate water bath to thaw frozen red blood cells. The study shows that ZipThaw performed as well or better than water baths for quickly and safely thawing frozen red blood cell units. The study measured RBC hemolysis–plasma free hemoglobin and percent hemolysis.
Clinicians and researchers are experiencing ZipThaw for advanced biologic thawing. Know the specimen temperature and preserve its quality with a low maintenance, small footprint device.
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.
