Q: Is the lockable feature available on all models?
A: Yes, most models include a lockable enclosure for enhanced security, details of which can be confirmed for each specific model.
Advantages and Disadvantages
The primary advantage of the High Capacity Series is its outstanding insulation capabilities, resulting in lower evaporation rates and longer holding times. They are lightweight yet sturdy, making them suitable for transport. A potential downside is that models with higher capacities might be less compact, which could impact portability.
Field Use
These canisters are predominantly used in laboratories, research facilities, and medical centers for storing biological samples such as straws for cryopreservation of cell lines, tissues, or other biological materials. Their design allows for easy access and transportation, making them especially useful in dynamic environments where space is a premium.
Recommendations
For optimal use, it is crucial to regularly monitor the liquid nitrogen levels and maintain them within the specified ranges to ensure the integrity of stored samples. Consider investing in a roller base for models used frequently for transportation.
