The Cryogenic Storage Tanks for Labs category includes the instruments, accessories and consumables needed to heat, cool, incubate, freeze or stabilise samples and processes at defined temperatures. Selecting them as part of a complete workflow helps prevent compatibility problems that are easy to miss when individual items are considered separately.
Temperature uniformity, recovery and control stability influence reaction rates, storage integrity and the reproducibility of many laboratory methods. The practical choice therefore depends on controller and logging options, working temperature range, heating or cooling capacity, and chamber or bath volume, as well as how frequently the product will be used and how it connects with the rest of the procedure.
A complete temperature-control setup matches the load and vessel to the working range, heating or cooling capacity, circulation, monitoring and safety requirements. The same principle applies across research, biotechnology, pharmaceutical, food, materials and industrial laboratories: control the inputs, use compatible equipment and document the conditions that can influence the result. As part of the Laboratory Heating and Cooling Equipment range, these products can be selected with the equipment and consumables used before and after this stage.
Our Cryogenic Storage Tanks for Labs range
Our collection covers operating principle of dry shipper work for sample transport, a distribution vessel and a storage container, roller base recommended for larger tanks, and cryogenic storage tanks workflow compatibility, giving laboratories practical choices for routine work and more specialised applications.
Operating principle of dry shipper work for sample transport
Dry shippers, such as the AC DS10-L, contain an absorbent material that "soaks up" liquid nitrogen, allowing samples to be maintained at cryogenic temperatures in a vapour phase for safe shipping without liquid leakage. For routine and specialised work, assess controller and logging options, working temperature range, and heating or cooling capacity. Matching these points early helps avoid adapters, consumables or operating limitations being discovered after purchase. Within the wider method, these products help laboratories hold samples and processes within the conditions required for repeatable work and dependable storage. They should be reviewed together with associated consumables, accessories and cleaning requirements.
A distribution vessel and a storage container
Cryonos distribution vessels (like the LIN25) are typically optimised for pouring and refilling smaller units, while storage containers (like the AC 180-26) are designed for stationary, long-term sample immersion. Key differences are usually found in working temperature range, heating or cooling capacity, and chamber or bath volume. These details affect day-to-day usability as much as the main performance specification. In practice, this supports efforts to hold samples and processes within the conditions required for repeatable work and dependable storage. It also gives staff a clearer and more repeatable procedure when multiple users or shifts share the same equipment.
Roller base recommended for larger tanks
Heavy tanks like the KGW Schieder GT series become significantly heavier when filled with LN2; a KGW Schieder roller base ensures safe movement and prevents physical strain on laboratory personnel. For routine and specialised work, assess heating or cooling capacity, chamber or bath volume, and uniformity and stability. Matching these points early helps avoid adapters, consumables or operating limitations being discovered after purchase. Used correctly, this part of the range helps laboratories hold samples and processes within the conditions required for repeatable work and dependable storage. The result is a setup that is easier to train, document and maintain.
Cryogenic Storage Tanks for Labs workflow compatibility
This part of the range covers practical options for cryogenic storage tanks where laboratories need to adapt the product to different samples, workloads or operating conditions. Key differences are usually found in chamber or bath volume, uniformity and stability, and pump flow or air circulation. These details affect day-to-day usability as much as the main performance specification. Used correctly, this part of the range helps laboratories hold samples and processes within the conditions required for repeatable work and dependable storage. The result is a setup that is easier to train, document and maintain.
Featured brands
JULABO is known for circulators, water baths and precise liquid temperature control, Memmert is known for ovens, incubators and controlled-temperature chambers, IKA is known for stirring, mixing, heating and sample-processing equipment, and Nabertherm is known for laboratory furnaces and high-temperature thermal processing.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does a dry shipper work for sample transport?
Dry shippers, such as the AC DS10-L, contain an absorbent material that "soaks up" liquid nitrogen, allowing samples to be maintained at cryogenic temperatures in a vapour phase for safe shipping without liquid leakage. For cryogenic storage tanks, also check working temperature range, heating or cooling capacity, and chamber or bath volume so the product fits the complete procedure.
What is the difference between a distribution vessel and a storage container?
Cryonos distribution vessels (like the LIN25) are typically optimised for pouring and refilling smaller units, while storage containers (like the AC 180-26) are designed for stationary, long-term sample immersion. Laboratories should compare working temperature range, heating or cooling capacity, and chamber or bath volume and document the selected setup for consistent use.
Why is a roller base recommended for larger tanks?
Heavy tanks like the KGW Schieder GT series become significantly heavier when filled with LN2; a KGW Schieder roller base ensures safe movement and prevents physical strain on laboratory personnel. The final choice should reflect working temperature range, heating or cooling capacity, and chamber or bath volume, as these points influence day-to-day compatibility and repeatability.
What should I check before ordering cryogenic storage tanks?
The most important points are working temperature range, heating or cooling capacity, chamber or bath volume, and uniformity and stability. Laboratories should also consider how the item will be stored, prepared, cleaned and replaced over its working life. The final choice should reflect working temperature range, heating or cooling capacity, and chamber or bath volume, as these points influence day-to-day compatibility and repeatability.
Which specifications matter most when comparing cryogenic storage tanks?
Review working temperature range, heating or cooling capacity, chamber or bath volume, and uniformity and stability, together with expected workload and cleaning or maintenance requirements. A suitable product should fit the full method, not only the immediate task. For cryogenic storage tanks, also check working temperature range, heating or cooling capacity, and chamber or bath volume so the product fits the complete procedure.
