Liquid Nitrogen Storage Systems
Preserving cells and biologics for years without loss of viability means going far below the reach of any freezer, and liquid nitrogen storage systems are how labs get there. Cryogenic dewars and storage vessels hold samples in liquid or vapour phase, keeping cultures, stem cells and biological material stable over the long term. Buyers weigh the vessel capacity, the static hold time and whether they need vapour phase storage or monitoring. Sitting within cold storage and cryogenic systems, this category lists both new and used liquid nitrogen storage systems with their vessel type and capacity described. Contact the seller to confirm the system suits your samples and safe siting.

Liquid Nitrogen Storage System Types
Liquid nitrogen storage systems vary by how they hold the nitrogen and the samples. The variants suit small stores, large inventories and controlled filling.
Vapour phase storage dewars
Vessels that store samples in cold nitrogen vapour above the liquid. They avoid liquid contact while holding cryogenic temperatures for sensitive samples.
Liquid phase storage dewars
Vessels that hold samples submerged in liquid nitrogen at the lowest temperature. They suit long term storage where deep cold is the priority.
Large capacity cryogenic tanks
High capacity vessels with racking for large sample inventories. They serve biobanks and cell banks that hold many thousands of vials.
Auto fill and monitored systems
Vessels linked to a supply that top up the nitrogen and monitor the level. They reduce manual filling and warn of a falling level.

Why Choose Machinery Masters
Verified Sellers Only
Every seller is verified before a single listing goes live. Machinery Masters also reviews listings for accuracy, so buyers can commit to high value machinery with confidence.
Global Reach
Listings come from sellers across Europe, North America, and beyond. That reach widens the options past any regional dealer network, and it is often the only way to find discontinued models in good condition.
Flexible Financing Options
Qualifying listings carry financing through partner providers. Terms are shown directly on eligible product pages, spreading the cost instead of draining working capital in one hit.
Direct Seller Contact
No broker sits between the buyer and the seller. Ask about service history, arrange inspections, and negotiate directly with the person who actually knows the machine.
Applications and Uses
Liquid nitrogen storage preserves living and biological material at cryogenic temperatures. These are the common settings.
Cell and stem cell banking
Storing cell lines and stem cells for long term use in research and therapy. Cryogenic temperatures keep the cells viable for years.
Culture and strain preservation
Holding microbial and cell cultures as a stable master and working bank. The deep cold arrests activity so the strains stay unchanged.
Reproductive and tissue storage
Preserving reproductive material and tissue at cryogenic temperatures. Controlled storage protects viability over the long term.
Biobank sample storage
Holding large biobank inventories at cryogenic temperature with racking. High capacity vessels organise many thousands of samples.
Benefits from Machinery Masters
Vapour, liquid phase and auto fill liquid nitrogen storage systems all appear here, described with the detail that matters for safe siting.
Every cryogenic phase in one category
Vapour phase, liquid phase and large capacity vessels sit together, so you can match the storage phase and capacity to your inventory.
Used vessels that ease the budget
A serviced cryogenic vessel holds its vacuum and hold time for well under a new price. What you save can cover racks, level monitoring and a top up controller.
Capacity and phase fit confirmed by the seller
You confirm the vessel capacity, storage phase and hold time before buying. That direct check keeps the system aligned with your samples and site.
Frequently Asked Questions About Liquid Nitrogen Storage Systems
Liquid phase gives the lowest, most uniform temperature, but submerging vials carries a cross contamination risk if a vial cracks. Vapour phase stores samples in cold nitrogen above the liquid, which avoids liquid contact while staying cryogenic. Many labs prefer vapour phase for sensitive or regulated samples. Consider your samples and any regulation, and ask the seller which phase the listed vessel supports.
Static hold time is how long a full vessel keeps its nitrogen without refilling and with the lid closed. A longer hold time gives more margin against a missed fill or a supply delay, which protects the samples. It depends on the vessel's insulation and vacuum condition. Ask the seller for the hold time and whether the vacuum has been checked, since a degraded vacuum shortens it sharply.
The vacuum insulation is critical, so ask whether it has been checked and whether the vessel holds its rated hold time. Inspect the neck, lid and any frost or sweating on the outside, which point to vacuum loss. Confirm the racking and any monitoring are present and working. A vessel with a sound vacuum and confirmed hold time is a safe purchase.
Nitrogen displaces oxygen as it evaporates, so liquid nitrogen storage needs a well ventilated room and often an oxygen monitor for safety. Plan safe access, handling equipment and a reliable nitrogen supply. Auto fill systems reduce manual handling and warn of a falling level. Ask the seller about the fill method and monitoring so you can plan safe siting.
Financing is offered on qualifying listings, which helps when a large capacity or auto fill vessel carries a higher price. Bring finance up with the seller as you enquire and they will say whether the storage unit qualifies. Paying over time leaves funds available for racks and monitoring gear. The terms depend on the system and the seller.
