Locator™ Cryogenic Rack & Box Systems
By Thermo
Thermo Scientific Locator™ Rack and Box Systems make cell sample retrieval quick and easy. The compact design minimizes space requirements while maximizing storage capacity. Simplify sample storage and retrieval with the unique hanging rack and gridded box design, unmatched temperature uniformity, and an innovative liquid nitrogen monitor.
Excellent vacuum insulation provides better liquid nitrogen efficiency per ampule stored than competitive "can and cane" systems, reducing evaporation and operating costs. Durable construction provides years of trouble-free service. Secure locking clasp prevents unauthorized entry. The vessels are super-insulated and designed with a special narrow mouth to conserve liquid nitrogen by minimizing evaporation. Suited for both manual and computerized inventory record-keeping methods.
- Outstanding temperature uniformity: samples are stored below -180°C, even when less than 2 in. (5cm) of liquid nitrogen remains in the vessel.
- Ultrasonic Level Monitor safeguards irreplaceable samples with minimal liquid nitrogen evaporation and conduction.
- Optional monitor provides continuous LED readout of liquid nitrogen level; activates visual and audible alarms when level falls below safe range of approximately 1 in. (2.5cm).
- Optional alarm also alerts operator in the event of excessive liquid nitrogen loss.
- Includes stainless steel indexed racks that fit into corresponding locations in the vessel. Each rack has individual storage compartments that hold one Nalgene™ Cryogenic Storage Box.
