How to choose
Two questions decide most of the range: tube or bag, and does the thaw belong in a batch record. Tube work without a record need points to ThawHome AB; tube work with a record points to ThawLINE Pro. Bag work without a record points to ThawHome C; with a record, ThawWaker.
If you are unsure, the seven-spec selection guide walks through the specifications that change the quotation.
