Dry heat thawing of biological substances

A dry thawing device for dry thawing a biological substance, comprising:

• a frame comprising:
• an aperture, and
• a lip extending outward from the aperture, wherein the lip comprises an electrical interface;
• a flexible woven pocket having a woven distal end and an inner volume dimensioned to receive a container containing a biological substance, the flexible woven pocket comprising one or more electrically conductive fibers and one or more electrically insulating fibers interwoven together to form a woven side of the flexible woven pocket to flex according to a contour of the container,
• wherein the woven pocket is directly coupled to the frame and positioned within the aperture,
• wherein the woven pocket further comprises a temperature sensor disposed to be in the woven side in between the fibers of the woven side and configured to move along with the flexing woven side when the woven side flexes and to contact the container to thermally communicate with the biological substance received within the woven pocket;
• a heating element configured to supply heat to the inner volume of the woven pocket based upon a temperature measurement acquired by the temperature sensor;
• a mechanical vibrator configured to vibrate the flexible woven pocket and the biological substance contained in the container to facilitate homogenous thawing within the container.
