Large-Capacity Liquid Nitrogen Vessels for Cryogenic Sample Storage

When it comes to cryogenic sample storage, large-capacity liquid nitrogen vessels offer several distinct advantages beyond just volume. These vessels are designed to ensure efficient storage and safety for biological samples, whether you're storing liquid nitrogen or large quantities of biological samples. Here’s a breakdown of their key features:

1. Large-Caliber Design for Easy Access

For storing liquid nitrogen and a smaller number of samples, vessels typically use smaller diameters (50mm or 80mm), allowing for easy access and handling. However, when dealing with a larger number of samples, 125mm diameters are commonly used. In cases where sample transfer is required, the 50mm diameter is ideal due to its practicality and accessibility.

What truly sets large-caliber vessels apart is their impressive size. Some models, such as the YDS-30-125, YDS-65-216, and YDS-145-216, feature diameters up to 216mm, which provides ample space for bulk sample storage. These larger diameters ensure smooth handling and improved sample retrieval processes.

2. Standard Cryo Rack Instead of Traditional Buckets

Unlike traditional liquid nitrogen storage containers or bull semen storage containers, which typically come with round storage buckets, large-caliber liquid nitrogen biological containers feature a square cryo rack. This design is specifically intended for securing cryovials inside cryovial boxes, providing organized and reliable sample storage.

The cryo racks can be customized to hold 6 or 7 racks depending on the specific number of samples you need to store. This level of flexibility means that each cryogenic vessel can accommodate varying storage capacities based on the specific sample requirements, ensuring optimized storage space and accessibility.

3. Secure Locking Cap to Prevent Sample Loss

In laboratory environments, biological samples often represent years of research or academic work, making them irreplaceable. To safeguard the integrity of these samples, liquid nitrogen vessels come equipped with a locking cap. This feature prevents accidental opening, safeguarding samples from potential contamination or loss.

Users can add their locks to the cap to ensure maximum security. This prevents samples from being lost or mistakenly retrieved, providing peace of mind for researchers and lab personnel. The secure cap system is a crucial feature for preventing unauthorized access, particularly when handling valuable or time-sensitive biological materials.
