Haier Biomedical showcased its latest automated and low-carbon cold storage innovations at Europe Biobank Week 2026 in Prague and Interphex Week Tokyo 2026, highlighting solutions tailored to the evolving needs of research institutions and laboratory environments.
At Europe Biobank Week 2026, the company focused on automated low-temperature storage technologies designed to support academic research, teaching, and the continued development of biobanks across Europe.
A key highlight was the global launch of the HAB80-60KA / HAB80-60KB automated ultra-low temperature sample storage system. Designed to preserve sensitive biological samples at -80°C, the flexible automated platform supports storage capacities ranging from 50,000 to more than 200,000 samples. The system is suitable for applications including small molecule compound storage, core sample storage, and biorepositories covering disease, population, and research biobanks.
The solution is designed to ensure end-to-end protection of sample temperature throughout the storage process while incorporating low-carbon features, modular flexibility for scalable expansion, and AI-driven automated monitoring and management capabilities aimed at meeting the needs of European biobanks. Its modular “KA base + KB expansion” architecture allows users to scale capacity as required, while dual independent refrigeration systems enhance sample protection and long-term operational reliability.
The platform also includes a real-time control and monitoring system that automatically records and updates sample status throughout the entire process, from entry and inventory to dispatch. This enables users to remotely monitor operations and easily locate samples to accelerate daily tasks and streamline inventory management.
At Interphex Week Tokyo 2026, Haier Biomedical unveiled products developed specifically for the Japanese market, including the DWL368BPST ultra-low temperature freezer designed for laboratories with limited space.
The DWL368BPST incorporates dual independent refrigeration systems that ensures sample safety even if one system fails. It also features a compact 670mm-wide design optimized for space‑constrained Japanese laboratories. Compared with conventional models, the freezer delivers improved temperature uniformity of ±2°C (versus ±4°C), 26 per cent lower energy consumption, 45 per cent faster temperature recovery, and operating noise levels below 44 dB.
Through new product launches, academic partnerships, and scenario-driven innovations, Haier Biomedical demonstrated its ability to deliver localized technological innovation supported by strong on-the-ground service capabilities to global markets.
