A semen storage tank is a liquid nitrogen dewar configured specifically for storing cryopreserved sperm in straws or cryovials at -195.8°C. It uses the same canister-goblet-cane hierarchy as embryo storage vessels. The key difference is in inventory organisation: sperm banks and andrology units retrieve individual donor straws regularly, making canister access speed and neck diameter important specification points.
Key differences from embryo storage
Embryo storage vessels hold patient-specific blastocysts requiring strict patient-level identification. Semen storage tanks in sperm banks hold large volumes of donor inventory organised by donor ID and preparation type. Both vessel types must meet regulatory storage standards. Cryolab supplies both types to cryogenic storage operations worldwide.
