LN2 Deliveries and its utilization?
LN2 Deliveries are the type of deliveries in liquid nitrogen. Dewar vessels are utilized; these are special containers keeping temperatures down to -196 ° C. All vessels comply with international requirements and can be used for dangerous goods truck delivery.
Today, there are various types of cryovessels designed for storage and transportation of biological and medical products and samples in a liquid nitrogen (e.g., components of a bacterial cells and cytoplasm, semen, bone marrow, blood plasma, etc.). Also, freezing and transportation of stem cells, tissues for biological research and animal embryos often happens.
When medical materials are shipped, sterile cryocontainers are used; these are having screwed lid in the delivery set. Using cheaper Dewar vessels may also be an option, but to ship biomaterials they are to be additionally sterilized.
Cryovessels propreties
Containers with liquid nitrogen are of two types: those for long-term storage or those of increased capacity. Regarding the design, there are vessels with external and internal threads. The cap and walls of the tubes must be made of the same material with the same thermal expansion coefficient.
General properties of these containers:
- Stability at +121 ~ - 196 0С.
- Several days’ transportation and storage in a cryogenic environment possibility.
- Dewar vessels material is non-toxic and non-flammable.
- Withstand overpressure while being defrosted.
