Cryogenic storage solutions to suit users of all sizes

From a single dewar, small-scale liquid cryogenic freezer or high-capacity nitrogen vapour freezer to the design and project management of large cryogenic laboratories, we have a solution for you.

Perfect for the long-term storage of fragile samples like stem cells, eggs, sperm and other biological tissue, our ultra low temperature cryogenic freezers are a vital part of many bio-banks, clinics and laboratories.

Liquid nitrogen freezers can keep samples at a temperature of -196°C near indefinitely, as long as there is a supply of LN₂.

Experts in cryogenic storage

When samples are stored at temperatures below -135°C, virtually all biological functions will cease, defending against the natural breakdown of cells. Keeping sample characteristics intact through cryopreservation has become an essential part of many medical and scientific applications including for in-vitro fertilisation (IVF), blood (and other tissue) banks, dermatology, and a variety of research and training programmes.

Air Products has the experience and expertise to offer our clients advice on what cryo techniques and products will be best suited to each project or application.
