Air Liquide - TR11 Nitrogen Vessel

Applications & Use Cases

• Storage of biological samples such as cells, tissues, and DNA in research laboratories.
• Cryopreservation of pharmaceuticals and active pharmaceutical ingredients in biotech facilities.
• Controlled cooling and freezing processes in various scientific and industrial applications.
• Temporary storage and transport of liquid nitrogen for laboratory and field use.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 10 to 50 litres, with the TR11 model typically falling within the lower to mid-range of this spectrum.

Construction material

Units of this type commonly feature light alloy construction for the main body and a composite material neck for thermal efficiency.

Operating pressure

These are non-pressurised vessels, designed for atmospheric pressure storage and transport of liquid nitrogen.

Evaporation rate

The static evaporation rate for such vessels is typically low, designed to minimise liquid nitrogen loss over time, though specific rates vary by model and condition.

Neck opening diameter

The neck opening diameter is commonly sized to accommodate standard cryo-canisters or racks for sample storage.

Power supply

These passive storage vessels do not typically require an external power supply for their primary function.
