The Thermolyne Locator 6 Plus Cryobiological Storage Vessel is a compact cryogenic storage system that features durable construction and advanced vacuum insulation to minimize liquid nitrogen (LN2) evaporation for economical operation. Temperature uniformity assures that samples stored at –180°C even when the vessel contains less than 5cm liquid nitrogen.
Thermolyne Locator 6 Plus - features
Vial capacity: 6000 (2mL vials)
184L LN2 capacity (liquid storage phase)
-180°C sample storage
90 day warranty
Additionally, unlike mechanical systems the Locator 6 LN2 storage tank is designed to offer consistent temperatures even when electricity is lost. Samples remain protected much longer during power outages than alternative technologies so the need to locate backup storage and relocate samples is dramatically reduced or even eliminated.
Please note that a level monitor may not be included with this unit. Please call or email for more details.
Testing
Most of our equipment is used and reconditioned. Our technicians thoroughly test all equipment to ensure it functions properly and meets the manufacturer’s specifications. When you place an order, we fill dewars with liquid nitrogen to standard levels and monitor the evaporation rate. If the unit has autofill functionality, we connect it to an LN2 tank to verify all components work correctly.
If you have particular testing requirements or requests please let us know.
