What is Cryogenic Storage?
Methods of Cryogenic Storage | Cryogenic Storage Tanks
Cryogenic Storage refers to the storage of Cryogenic liquids, which are used for their low temperature properties. Cryogenic liquids are extremely cold, with boiling points below -150°C. Such liquids include, liquid helium (-269°C), liquid hydrogen (-253°C) and liquid nitrogen (-196°C), which is the most widely used cryogenic liquid. There are two types of storage equipment that use liquid nitrogen (LN2) as the cryogenic liquid:
Mechanical freezing – where a refrigeration system is used to cool samples.
Cryogenic Storage tank – where the temperature is maintained using a vacuum insulated tank and liquid nitrogen.
Cryogenic Storage Tanks, which are also known as Cryo Tanks, are the predominant type of cryo storage product within the marketplace and the only type of storage with the Cryovita range from Froilabo.
