Is a Liquid Nitrogen Tank Dangerous? 

A TcCryo liquid nitrogen tank is made of high-strength aluminum alloy or aviation-grade aluminum. These materials are insulated, corrosion-resistant, and lightweight, with no inherent danger.

Tank Structure

Unlike regular metal containers, TcCryo tanks feature an inner and outer shell with a vacuum space in between, filled with insulating materials for temperature retention, similar to a thermos. This design is safe and efficient, with no risk of danger from the materials themselves.

Tank Components

The neck seal, neck tube, protective cover, and locking lid are all made from flame-retardant, low-temperature-resistant materials, ensuring safety. Moreover, the open design means there is no internal pressure, which rules out explosion risks.

Safety Considerations

While the tank itself is not dangerous, misuse can lead to accidents such as cold burns or explosions. For example:

• Improper sealing: Replacing the original neck seal with a tighter one prevents pressure from escaping, which could cause an explosion during liquid nitrogen vaporization.

• Improper handling: Not following the correct procedures for removing samples or refilling the tank can lead to liquid nitrogen splashes, causing cold burns.

TcCryo tanks, when used properly, are safe and efficient for storing biological samples. Always follow safety guidelines to ensure safe operation.
