Liquid Nitrogen Containers

Our company offers large capacities of storage and transport vessels for Liquid Nitrogen and Argon. These storage vessels are equipped with the feature of self pressuring storage. Available in capacities from 30 to 500 liters, these are suitable for a host of applications for medical research and cryo-biological fields. These are designed to automatically maintain pressure at a pre-set level using the pressure control regulator and supply gaseous products via an internal gas use vaporizer. Our range is also available from 120 to 950 liters.

Our precision engineered range of Cryowears is widely demanded in various welding and material handlingrange of gloves have been specially developed for the handling of very cold objects.

Typically they are used for handling objects stored in the vapour stage of liquid nitrogen (ranging from -120°C to -190°C).

At actual liquid nitrogen temperature there is some stiffening of the material, but it still remains flexible enough for use.

These cryogloves are also very useful for other situations where low temperatures are an issue such as storage freezers, cold rooms, the handling of 'dry ice' and microtomes.

The range of cryogloves is available in three styles; mid-arm, elbow and shoulder length and in small, medium and large sizes.

These cryogloves protect from spilling of Liquid Nitrogen on body. Our rang of cryowears include hand gloves (cryogloves), aprons (cryoapron), full body suit and face shield.

Frosters cryogenic aprons offer the same technology and protection as that of the
Frosters cryogenic gloves. The apron provides optimum protection for torso and
upper legs against the effects of spills and splashes of cryogenic material. The
outer layer of waterproof woven polyamide protects, even at the extremely low
temperature encountered with liquid nitrogen, and yet is breathable. Thermal
insulation is given by a polyolefin/polyester micro-fibre middle layer. The inner
layer is of cotton for comfort. Frosters aprons are fitted with quick release clips at
both neck and waist and our adjustable straps give a comfortable fit.

Small (900mm length) – APR/CMS
Medium (1000mm length) – APR/CMM
Large (1200mm length) – APR/CML
Extra Large (1400mm length) – APR/CMXL

Nominal apron width is 620mm

cryo suits have been specially developed to provide protection and comfort while under continuous use in the extreme environment of the cold room.

The special outer layer is waterproof (resistant to condensation) yet remains breathable so as not to become clammy, while the high efficiency insulation reduces excessive bulk and therefore provides greater mobility.

Frosters cryo suits are in two parts, a 'bib and brace' overall and an over jacket. The overalls have long adjustable shoulder straps with Velcro fastening and the waist is elasticated. The jacket has a front central Velcro fastening strip with additional Velcro fastenings on the cuffs and features a useful inside pocket.

Please see technical specifications for size combinations.

Our company is offering Trolleys, which is specially fabricated for carrying Liquid Nitrogen Containers. Each of the trolley is power coated with caster Liquid Nitrogen Container wheels and has a tilting arrangement. This is done to facilitate safe handling and ease of operation.

Our company is offering a wide range of Liquid Nitrogen Dewars, which is designed to safely and conveniently transport and store small volumes of liquid nitrogen in laboratory or workplace. These are available in various capacities and sizes along with rack canisters. Our range combines superior vacuum design and multiple layers of super insulation technology to achieve superior thermal performance.

Features:

• Rugged construction
• Low heat transfer

The CryoGrinder consists of a porcelain/ zirconium composite.  Pestles are made of porcelain/ zirconium composite.

The CryoGrinder is a miniaturized mortar and pestle system designed to homogenize small samples (<100 mg) at low temperatures so to preserve the integrity of biomolecules.  This system combines the ease of a handheld homogenizer with the efficiency of a mortar and pestle.  Key features of the CryoGrinder include:

- Motor driven pestle constructed  from an extremely durable porcelain/zirconium composite

- Rugged pestle with stainless steel shafts with hex bit for quick connection to the motor

- CryoGrinder can be decontaminated and sterilized via autoclave and dry heat (e.g., 200°C for 2 hr)

- Small space saving design

- Optional CryoCooler accessory valuable for chilling and transporting samples

The CryoGrinder mortar and pestle are pre-chilled in  liquid nitrogen.  Frozen samples are placed in the mortar and the motorized pestle is pressed down on the sample.  Due to the cryogenic temperature, samples are rapidly ground into dust.  Tissues from heart, lung, spleen, muscle, kidney and liver have been effectively pulverized using the CryoGrinder.  Mortars are easily inverted so that ground samples can be collected into chilled tubes. 

Each CryoGrinder Kit comes with a cordless handheld motor plus four mortar and pestle sets including small and large pestles.  Additional mortar and pestle sets can be purchased separately.

CryoGrinder Kit:
An improvement on the traditional mortar and pestle, the CryoGrinder retains the strength and durability of porcelain while adapting to the scale of molecular biologists.  The CryoGrinder was specifically designed to grind small and difficult to homogenize tissues (e.g., skin, sclera) at cryogenic temperatures.  Each CryoGrinder mortar can efficiently accommodate up to 100 mg of sample, though most researchers use 10-20 mg.  Two different size pestles are available which fit a standard cordless wrench/screwdriver so to ease the grinding process.

Each CryoGrinder Kit comes with four mortars, four large pestles, four small pestles, and one rechargeable cordless wrench.  Detailed instructions on use and product care are also included.

When used in conjunction with the CryoCooler™, the CryoGrinder is an effective means of homogenizing multiple samples.
CryoGrinder Set:

The CryoGrinder Set is the kit minus the cordless wrench.  The set consists of two porcelain/zirconium mortars, two large pestles and two small pestles.  Samples can be homogenized manually or with the cordless wrench.  Most standard cordless screwdrivers can be used to power the pestles.
Wrench, Cordless:

The cordless wrench is a standard 1/4" hex driver (power screwdriver) which is effective for grinding samples using an attached pestle.  The wrench is rechargeable and can be used to process dozens of samples between charging.  The wrench comes with a DC charger which works off of standard 120V outlets (US plug).

CryoCooler™ with a top view of the well.  Liquid nitrogen is poured through the screen platform and adsorbed below by a pillow.  Liquid nitrogoen vaprs are released slowly over a five hour period which keeps samples below -130°C.

Don't let your frozen samples just melt away. Keep them frozen with the NEW CryoCooler. It is designed for small-scale cryogenic sample preparation.  Working with samples that require cryogenic temperatures means working with liquid nitrogen, which is not only difficult, but possibly hazardous. The CryoCooler helps to reduce those hazards by featuring a liquid nitrogen charged, insulated reservoir.  To use, pour the liquid nitrogen into the reservoir and begin using. 

The CryoCooler can be used as a stand alone unit or in in conjunction with our miniaturized mortar and pestle system, the CryoGrinder.  With the CryoGrinder or other vials or tools, place the items in the reservoir and allow them to chill for several minutes prior to use.

This system combines a highly insulated cooler with a liquid nitrogen reservoir so to maintain temperature sensitive samples at vapor phase temperatures.  The 6 x 6" reservoir contains a sorbent that is charged prior to use with liquid nitrogen.  The sorbent prevents spills and splashing of the liquid nitrogen while it does allow for a slow release of coolant.

The CryoCooler is a valuable tool that helps to preserve the integrity of frozen vials of cultured cells and tissue specimens during routine handling.  The CryoCooler well contains a pillow that adsorbs liquid nitrogen.  Once charged, the pillow slowly releases liquid nitrogen vapor which can keep samples in the CryoCooler's well at temperatures below -130°C for up to five hours. The CryoCooler is very useful for preparing stored tissue for RNA isolation or for the sorting of frozen vials.
