Liquid Nitrogen Sample Storage Tanks

Liquid Nitrogen Sample Storage (LN₂) Liquid Nitrogen Sample Storage Tanks

Liquid nitrogen sample storage tanks are used for the safe long-term storage of biological samples in biotechnology, pharmaceutical research, and clinical diagnostics. These LN2 systems enable cryopreservation at stable ultra-low temperatures for various sample quantities. The selection ranges from solutions for specialized laboratory units to extensive biobanks.

Liquid Nitrogen Sample Storage Tanks

Technological Features of LN2 Tanks

Liquid nitrogen sample storage tanks provide a controlled environment for the storage of cryosamples. By using liquid nitrogen (LN2), the ultra-low temperatures necessary for the vitality of sensitive biological materials are achieved. The range covers various requirements, from single systems for smaller institutes to high-capacity storage tanks for industrial research.

Capacities and Storage Volumes

The available volume of the tanks ranges from 175 liters to 1800 liters. Depending on the size, the capacity for sample storage varies significantly. While more compact models like the YDS-175-216 are designed for approximately 6,000 samples, large-capacity tanks such as the YDD-1800-635R provide space for up to 95,625 samples. This allows for scaling the storage capacity according to project size.

Control and Monitoring

Modern LN2 tank systems in the YDD series are equipped with a 10" LCD touchscreen control. This interface is used for precise monitoring of system parameters and ensures seamless control over the status of the stored samples. A clear presentation of data supports laboratory personnel in adhering to safety protocols and efficient sample management.

Organization and Accessories

Specialized racks and boxes are used for systematic organization within the sample storage tanks. PC boxes with a 10 x 10 grid are frequently used to optimize storage density. Some models are delivered complete with racks and boxes, which simplifies commissioning and allows for the immediate loading of the storage systems.

Frequently Asked Questions about Liquid Nitrogen Sample Storage Tanks

Here you will find answers to technical and organizational questions regarding cryostorage in LN2 tanks.

What are liquid nitrogen sample storage tanks used for?

These tanks are used for the long-term cryopreservation of biological samples such as cell lines, tissues, or medical materials using liquid nitrogen.

Which tank is suitable for which sample quantity?

The choice depends on the required capacity. Smaller tanks hold around 6,000 samples, while large systems offer capacities for over 95,000 samples.

What advantages does the LCD touchscreen control offer?

The 10-inch controller allows for intuitive operation and detailed monitoring of tank values, which increases sample safety.

What is the difference between the various model series?

Models primarily differ in storage volume (e.g., 175l to 1800l) and features, such as the presence of integrated control systems or included accessories.

What accessories are useful for organization within the tank?

For efficient use of the interior space, racks for cryoboxes and PC boxes with defined grids, such as 10 x 10, are used.

How do I choose the right LN2 tank?

The decisive factors are the required sample capacity, the total volume of the tank, and the requirements for digital monitoring and documentation.

Are the boxes and racks included in the scope of delivery?

This depends on the model. Certain versions, such as the YDS-175-216, are offered as a complete set including racks and boxes, while for other models, this is optional.
