Since 1944, Sibir has specialised in optimum energy refrigerators powered by gas or kerosene. Every Sibir refrigerator is based on absorption technology, a technique the company developed more than 50 years ago and has been refining ever since.

GAS OR KEROSENE REFRIGERATORS

Today, Sibir is a leading manufacturer of absorption refrigerators powered by gas or kerosene. Every Sibir vaccine storage refrigerator is manufactured in the company’s ISO-certified factory in Motala, Sweden – proof of Sibir’s commitment to quality. This makes us confident of staying in a leading position worldwide.

COLD CHAIN VACCINE REFRIGERATION
Sibir has been developing vaccine storage refrigerators to serve the cold chain for over 50 years. Our refrigerators operate either on kerosene / electricity or LPG / electricity. Their cooling performance is unprecedented and they can produce ice packs at ambient temperatures of +50°C (+122°F). Sibir refrigerators have been tested to meet WHO standards according to the Expanded Programme of Immunisation (EPI), a world-wide health initiative launched to combat several of the most widely spread children’s diseases through immunization.

Sibir exports its products all over the world to serve the EPI cold chain wherever it is applied. Throughout the years Sibir has supplied tens of thousands of vaccine storage refrigerators to health centres around the world. The company’s green refrigerators have become synonymous with safe vaccine storage.

RELIABLE ICE-PACK PRODUCTION AND VACCINE STORAGE
V110 refrigerators offer high capacity for freezing ice-packs and reliable vaccine storage. These models, available with both kerosene and gas, make an ideal fridge / freezer combination for small health centres.

V170 vaccine refrigerators are a powerful double-door unit with a separate 47L freezer compartment. The superior combination of reliable vaccine cooling performance and unprecedented ice pack production makes V170 vaccine storage refrigerators an essential link in the cold chain.

HIGH PERFORMANCE COEFFICIENT – LOW ENERGY CONSUMPTION REFRIGERATORS
Sibir vaccine storage refrigerators provide reliable cooling even where the supply of electricity is irregular or unavailable. Sibir refrigerators also have a very high performance coefficient which translates into low energy consumption.

Sibir’s unique absorption technology means no moving parts, no mechanical wear, no vibrations, no noise and virtually no need for maintenance.

The kerosene-powered V110 and V170 refrigerators have a unique, manually operated day / night regulating device, which drastically reduces the potential for interior temperature deviations. This feature is useful in areas with large temperature fluctuations. These vaccine storage refrigerators are also equipped with a blue-flame burner that gives top performance and safety, and low fuel consumption.

SIBIR’S VACCINE STORAGE REFRIGERATOR RANGE
Sibir’s vaccine storage refrigerator range includes features such as:

• Front door thermometer – the thermometer on every Sibir vaccine storage refrigerator is on the front door, making it easy to monitor the internal temperature
• High-efficiency cooling unit – every vaccine storage refrigerator has Sibir’s new highly-efficient and less tilt-sensitive cooling unit
• Controls – all controls on Sibir vaccine storage refrigerators are conveniently placed on the front
• Level indicator – every Sibir vaccine storage refrigerator is equipped with a level indicator and a system that makes it less sensitive to tilting
• Lock – to guarantee security, every Sibir vaccine storage refrigerator is equipped with a safety lock on the front door
• Safe packing – every Sibir vaccine storage refrigerator is transported in a heavy-duty plywood crate

Greiner Bio-One is a leading manufacturer of plastic evacuated collection tubes for blood and urine, capillary blood collection systems, safety blood collection sets and accessories, complete urinalysis systems, automatic ESR analysers and decapper instruments.

As the first manufacturer to develop a safety collection system for blood and urine made out of virtually unbreakable PET plastic, Greiner Bio-One Preanalytics is a trendsetter in safety.

VACUETTE® PLASTIC SPECIMEN COLLECTION TUBES
Greiner Bio-One is an expert in the field of plastics and injection moulding techniques; thus it was made possible to successfully develop the optimal process for manufacturing evacuated specimen collection tubes out of PET. The material provides a number of advantages. The tubes are as clear as glass yet virtually unbreakable; in addition they are very lightweight, making storage and transportation easier, as well as saving on disposal costs. Furthermore, incineration of PET leaves virtually no residue.

MINICOLLECT® CAPILLARY BLOOD COLLECTION SYSTEM
The MiniCollect® capillary blood collection system is especially for neonates and infants. The closed system prevents contact with blood. Due to the unique Cross-Cuts cap system it is not necessary to open tubes. Available with safety lancets, funnel and capillaries.

VACUETTE® SAFETY PRODUCTS
Worldwide over one million needlestick injuries are reported officially every year. Together with the unofficial incidents that go unreported, the actual total is probably far higher.

With the prevalence of fatal infections (HIV, HBV, HCV), it is of utmost importance, that healthcare workers are offered the best possible protection against needlesticks and sharps injuries. By using VACUETTE® Safety Products, the risk can be reduced to an absolute minimum.

VACUETTE® Safety Blood Collection Sets are available in a variety of versions: with / without Luer Adapter / Tube Holder, as well as with a range of tube lengths. All sets are single-packed and equipped with a safety mechanism which securely encloses the needle after blood collection.

VACUETTE® QUICKSHIELD tube holders stand out largely due to their simple handling. Directly after blood collection, the needle is enclosed safely within the protective sleeve with the aid of a stable support. Just one hand is necessary. An audible ‘click’ indicates to the user that the safety mechanism has been correctly activated.

VACUETTE® SPECIMEN COLLECTION ACCESSORIES
Greiner Bio-One can supply all products required for the complete specimen collection procedure; needles, sharps disposal containers, tourniquets, etc. as well as transport containers for the safe transport of specimen material.

URINALYSIS SYSTEM
All products required for urinalysis, from collection to analysis in the laboratory are available from GBO.

Urine test strips for quick visual analysis

• Urine test strips for analysis using the GBO Urolytix automatic urine analyser
• Broad range of urine tubes, with and without stabiliser
• Urine beakers and transfer devices for hygienic transfer of the sample
• 24-hour urine containers

AUTOMATIC ESR ANALYSERS
In addition to the automatic urine analyser, GBO also offers a range of automated ESR analysers, available in three versions to suit every requirement, whether in the doctor’s office or in a busy hospital ward.

DECAPPER INSTRUMENTS
Three automatic decappers are available. The UNICAP can be used to decap both 13mm and 16mm tubes at the same time (100mm in length). There is also the decapper VACUETTE® 13 for all types of 13mm tubes and the VACUETTE® 16.

VACUETTE® VISIO PLUS BLOOD COLLECTION NEEDLE
The new VACUETTE® VISIO PLUS blood collection needle with optical venipuncture control is a great help for phlebotomy personnel. The latest innovation from Greiner Bio-One brings vision to blood collection at last. When venipuncture has been carried out successfully, blood flow is visible in the view window in the transparent plastic hub of the needle.

The VISIO PLUS also has advantages for the patient. Movement in the vein during penetration whilst searching for the vein lumen is sometimes painful for the patient. Due to the visible blood flow in VISIO PLUS’ view window, this movement is avoided. The special cut of the needle tip makes penetration of the tissue a lot easier. The new VACUETTE® VISIO PLUS needle thus guarantees pain-free, stress-free venipuncture.

SALIVA COLLECTION AND QUANTIFICATION SYSTEM
Greiner Bio-One has launched the world’s first saliva collection and quantification system, based on a liquid collection medium that allows standardised collection and storage of samples regardless of where the sample is collected. The saliva collection set can be applied in practically any situation – it such as self-testing, therapeutic drug monitoring or roadside testing.

INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNISED QUALITY

Our quality management system conforms to ISO 9001:2000/EN ISO 13485. VACUETTE® products bear the CE mark and are compliant with the ISO 6710 international standard for blood collection systems. Our products are also manufactured following EC directives and US regulations (21CFR part 820).
