CONSARCTIC - ABV48 Liquid Nitrogen Storage Vessel

Applications & Use Cases

• Long-term preservation of biological samples such as cells, tissues, and genetic material in research laboratories.
• Storage of pharmaceutical products and active pharmaceutical ingredients requiring ultra-low temperatures.
• Cryopreservation in biotechnology for seed banks, IVF clinics, and biobanks.
• Industrial applications requiring cryogenic temperatures for material science and component testing.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Liquid nitrogen storage vessels for this class of equipment commonly range from 10 to over 100 litres.

Power supply

Passive liquid nitrogen storage vessels typically do not require an external power supply for operation, relying on vacuum insulation.

Material

Units of this type are commonly constructed from stainless steel for the outer casing and inner vessel.

Insulation

High-vacuum insulation, often with multi-layer super insulation, is standard for minimising heat transfer and LN2 evaporation.

Evaporation Rate

The static evaporation rate for similar vessels is typically very low, measured in litres per day, depending on design and condition.

Storage Format

Commonly designed to accommodate cryo-canisters, cryo-boxes, or bulk storage of samples in liquid or vapour phase.
