LN2 Storage Vessels in IVF

 

In the field of assisted reproductive technology, maintaining optimal storage conditions is crucial for the preservation of gametes and embryos. Cryolab takes pride in offering high-quality Liquid Nitrogen Storage Tanks designed to meet the demanding requirements of IVF laboratories, ensuring the safe and efficient cryopreservation of biological samples. Our LN2 Tanks are specially designed for the long-term preservation of samples, from sperm storage to embryo storage, using advanced Cryogenic Storage Tanks.

The Role of Storage Vessels in IVF

When it comes to IVF, storage vessels are an essential part of the process. These Cryo Tanks are designed to preserve eggs, sperm, and embryos at extremely low temperatures using liquid nitrogen. The ability to maintain a stable, ultra-cold environment is critical to ensuring these delicate biological materials remain viable for future use. Our LN2 Dewars, Cryogenic Dewars, and Cryo Storage Containers ensure optimal preservation and maximum security.

Storage vessels in IVF laboratories serve several key purposes:

  1. Cryopreservation of Gametes and Embryos
    Cryogenic Freezers, LN2 Cryopreservation Tanks, and Dry Shippers maintain biological materials at -196°C using liquid nitrogen, ensuring their long-term preservation.
  2. Sample Organisation and Retrieval
    Advanced storage solutions, such as vertical LN2 tanks and Cryo Dewars, include labelled racks and canisters to facilitate easy identification and retrieval of stored samples.
  3. Minimising Temperature Fluctuations
    Modern vessels like horizontal LN2 tanks are designed to provide stable temperature conditions, preventing sample degradation due to LN2 evaporation rate fluctuations.
  4. Safe Handling and Transport
    Some vessels, including Dry Shippers (portable LN2 tanks for transport), are specifically designed for the secure transportation of cryopreserved samples between clinics and laboratories while maintaining temperature integrity.

Features of Cryolab’s Storage Vessels

The Cryolab CryoNest® Series of Racked LN2 Storage Tanks are designed to optimise efficiency, storage capacity, and ease of use. Our Cryo Storage Vessels are available in a variety of models, including the CryoNest XL, CryoNest XXL, and CryoNest XXXL, each offering compact, versatile designs that maximise space and reduce storage costs per patient.

These models — ranging from 95–175 litres in size — can hold significantly more samples than a standard 47-litre tank, while maintaining an almost identical footprint. With LN2 Tank Insulation and long LN2 Holding Time, these tanks ensure optimal preservation of biological materials while maintaining minimal LN2 Tank Evaporation Rate.

Choosing the Right Storage Vessel

Selecting the right storage vessel depends on various factors, including sample volume, available space, and frequency of use. Cryolab offers expert guidance to help IVF professionals choose the most suitable solution tailored to their specific requirements. Some key considerations include:

  • Storage Capacity — Selecting a vessel with sufficient storage space for the clinic’s needs, such as high-capacity LN2 tanks for embryo storage or LN2 tanks for sperm storage.
  • Nitrogen Efficiency — Choosing a vessel with optimal liquid nitrogen consumption to maintain cost-effectiveness.
  • Security Features — Ensuring the vessel has appropriate monitoring systems like LN2 Tank Temperature Monitoring and pressure relief features to prevent accidental sample loss and ensure LN2 Tank Safety Features.
  • Portability — If needed, opting for portable LN2 tanks like Dry Shippers for the safe transportation of stored samples.
