What is a cryogenic tank?
A cryogenic tank is an insulated vessel designed to store or transport materials at extremely low temperatures using liquid nitrogen. In an IVF laboratory context there are two main types: storage dewars and dry shippers.
What is the difference between a storage dewar and a dry shipper?
Storage dewars are static vessels used for long-term storage of embryos, oocytes, and sperm at the clinic. Dry shippers are transport vessels that hold liquid nitrogen in an absorbent matrix, allowing safe transport of biological material without free liquid nitrogen, making them suitable for courier and airline shipment.
What cryogenic tanks does Cryolab supply?
Cryolab supplies both types, including the CryoNest dewar range for storage and the CryoStork dry shipper range for transport. Visit cryolab.co.uk/product-category/storage-vessels/ and cryolab.co.uk/product-category/dry-shippers/ for specifications.
