High-Capacity Medical Cryogenic Storage with the Locator 4 Plus
The Locator 4 Plus is a cryogenic container designed to meet the rigorous requirements of the medical and scientific research sectors. Intended for the storage of sensitive biological samples at cryogenic temperatures, this model is suitable for the needs of specialised laboratories, hospitals or bioconservation centres. It allows for the secure storage of samples in liquid or vapour form, while ensuring quick access thanks to its ergonomic design.
The Locator 4 Plus is 100.3 cm high with the lid and has a diameter of 55.9 cm, making it suitable for installation in a controlled indoor environment. Its capacity of 121 litres of liquid nitrogen allows for complete immersion of up to 4,000 2 mL vials (Nalgene System 100 configuration), making it an ideal solution for high-throughput storage facilities.
Thanks to its vacuum insulation and stable structure, the Locator 4 Plus maintains samples at extremely low temperatures with reduced evaporation rates, ensuring efficient use of liquid nitrogen. It is designed for stationary use only and is not suitable for transporting cryogenic substances.
Although the model can be used without a monitor, it is compatible with the LN2 level monitoring system for continuous monitoring of the liquid nitrogen level, which is essential during vapour phase storage. This device can be connected to a remote alarm system, providing an additional layer of security for critical samples.
The Locator 4 Plus requires the use of compatible racks for sample organisation, and it is imperative to follow precautions for the use of liquid nitrogen, including wearing personal protective equipment and using the device in a well-ventilated area.
This device is a reliable solution for preserving the integrity of critical samples in demanding medical and life science environments.
