Product Name:

Thermo Series Liquid Nitrogen Transfer Vessels

Catalog Number:

TY509X2

This smaller liquid nitrogen vessel allows us to take out liquid nitrogen whenever we need to snap-freeze any samples. Our lab does a lot of western blots and metabolomics; therefore, it is necessary for us to be able to access liquid nitrogen for our samples to bring across the lab. This transfer vessel is easy to use and convenient.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Application

Liquid Nitrogen Vessel

Protocol Overview

Simply twisting off the top of the tank will remove the door, and our lab pours the liquid nitrogen into a smaller vacuum container for us to snap-freeze our samples immediately.

Tips

None. This is extremely intuitive.

Features Summary

There is a meter on the outside that shows the level of liquid nitrogen left.

Summary

The Good

This is extremely intuitive and convenient.

The Bad

The handle makes it difficult to pour if the vessel is heavy, so handle with care.

The Bottom Line

This is a very convenient way to access liquid nitrogen if you don't want to contaminate your cryogenic tank. A must if you want a separate vessel that you can just take liquid nitrogen from.
