Description
The BIOBASE BJPX-PT8 Blood Thaw Machine is a microcomputer-controlled thawing system designed for the rapid and controlled thawing of frozen blood components and biological products. It is intended for professional use in blood centers, hospital transfusion departments, clinical laboratories, blood banks, and blood-product production facilities.
The system combines PID temperature control, continuous horizontal reciprocating motion, programmable frequency operation, touchscreen monitoring, and multiple protective functions. Its three-layer thawing compartment accommodates approximately 1 to 12 units per operating cycle, depending on the configuration and size of the materials being processed.
This listing is configured for 110V, 50/60Hz operation using the manufacturer-specified external transformer. The manufacturer sheet identifies AC220V as the standard electrical configuration and AC110V as an optional configuration.

Temperature and Motion Control
The BJPX-PT8 uses microcomputer PID technology to regulate the thawing environment. The operating interface displays temperature, motion frequency, and cycle time. Continuous horizontal reciprocation helps promote more uniform exposure during the thawing process.
The system can operate at approximately 60 ± 5 motions per minute or use automatic frequency modulation, depending on the selected operating settings.
Safety and Protection Features
The system incorporates multiple equipment-protection functions, including:
- Leakage-current protection
- Overvoltage protection
- Independent overtemperature control
- Double overtemperature-protection architecture
- Alarm activation when the internal temperature exceeds the selected temperature by approximately 1°C
These features supplement, but do not replace, institutional monitoring, routine maintenance, temperature verification, and validated blood-bank procedures.
Construction
The internal liner is manufactured from brushed stainless steel for laboratory durability and routine cleaning. The controls are positioned on an angled external panel for visibility and operator access.
Cleaning agents and disinfectants must be selected according to the equipment manual and facility infection-control procedures. Do not use corrosive chemicals or abrasive tools unless expressly approved by the manufacturer.
