Abstract
The present invention relates to thawing devices for thawing a substrate (1), in particular blood plasma, which is in a frozen aggregate state, wherein the substrate (1) is contained in a container (2), in particular a bag. Compared to the prior art, the thawing devices proposed by the invention enable a shorter thawing time as well as a gentle thawing process at the same time. Also, the present invention proposes methods for thawing a substrate (1) in a frozen aggregate state.
Claims21
A thawing device for thawing a substrate in a frozen aggregate state, the substrate being contained in a container, the thawing device comprising:
- a receiving unit for arranging the container containing the substrate, the receiving unit having a heating device for providing thermal energy required for thawing the substrate;
- a first movement device configured to transmit a first movement to the receiving unit and the container received therein together with the substrate, wherein the first movement is a movement executed essentially in a plane;
- and
- a second movement device configured to transmit a second movement to the receiving unit and the container received therein together with the substrate, wherein the second movement is a fulling movement.
