Statebourne Biorack 5400 Nitrogen vessel

• Long-term cryogenic storage of biological samples in research laboratories.
• Preservation of cell lines, tissues, and other biological materials in biotechnology firms.
• Secure storage for pharmaceutical development and clinical trial samples.
• Cryopreservation in biobanks and fertility clinics.
• Storage of genetic material in agricultural research.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, units commonly offer capacities in the range of several thousand 2ml vials, or equivalent sample volumes.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a standard single-phase electrical supply for their control systems and alarms, commonly 230V, 50Hz in the UK.

Temperature range

Cryogenic storage vessels operate at liquid nitrogen temperatures, typically around -196°C.

Footprint

The footprint for a Biorack 5400 model is typically designed for laboratory environments, requiring adequate space for safe operation and access.

Material construction

Cryogenic vessels are commonly constructed from stainless steel for durability and thermal integrity.

LN2 consumption

Liquid nitrogen consumption rates vary but are a key operational cost; buyers should inquire about specific unit hold times and static evaporation rates.

• What is the primary function of a liquid nitrogen storage system?

  Its primary function is to provide ultra-low temperature environments for the long-term, secure preservation of biological samples, preventing degradation.

• What safety considerations are important for operating this equipment?

• Does this unit require a continuous liquid nitrogen supply?

• What maintenance is typically involved with a unit like this?

• Can this system be monitored remotely?

Liquid nitrogen storage systems are valued for reliable long-term sample preservation in research and pharmaceutical settings. Buyers typically prioritise checking insulation condition, vapour loss rates, and maintenance history when purchasing used units. Industry sentiment emphasises the importance of verifying calibration records and safety certifications before installation. Common strengths include robust construction and compatibility with existing laboratory infrastructure. Capacity requirements and storage location should guide selection, as should supplier support for ongoing servicing and spare parts availability.
