canisters

Canisters

Description / Use

Cryo Bio System Canisters are the sleeves that hold the goblets. They are compatible with all types of liquid nitrogen and vapor freezers, and also low-temperature mechanical freezers.

Five lengths of canisters are available, with a capacity of 2 to 6 goblets stored on top of each other. A colored flag can be placed on the lifter to facilitate retrieval.

Canisters are placed in the nitrogen freezer before filling the container with liquid nitrogen. Goblets are introduced and retrieved one by one with the metal lifter; all manipulation of goblets is in the cold environment of the neck of the nitrogen freezer to ensure the stable low temperature of the samples.
