Definition
engineered system designed to raise the temperature of a material in a controlled manner to reach a specified setpoint, typically to transition it from a solid or frozen state to a soft or liquid state
Semi-Formal Definition:
every instance of ‘thawing system’ is defined as exactly an instance of ‘engineered system’ that ‘has function’ some ‘thawing capability’
Explanatory Notes
Thawing systems can be applied directly to a material or indirectly by heating the container in which the material is held.
Examples
- Controlled-rate water bath thawing system; sterile dry thawing system with temperature control; microwave-assisted thawing system with setpoint regulation; ultrasonic thawing system with precise temperature monitoring; recirculating warm water thawing system with feedback control; heated plate thawing system with programmable temperature setpoint; single-use thawing chamber with integrated temperature sensors; automated cryopreserved cell thawing device with controlled ramp rates
