Enhanced performance and reliability with next generation vapour shippers
MVE has re-engineered their popular 4L vapour shippers—the SC 4/2V and SC 4/3V—to deliver enhanced performance and reliability. The SC Series dewars, long recognised as the industry benchmark for efficiency and durability, now feature their patented BEND DON’T BREAK™ technology. This innovative design incorporates a newly contoured top head that flexes under high G-force conditions, allowing the dewar to better absorb impact and significantly reduce the risk of structural damage during transport.
In addition, MVE’s patent-pending Vapour Shield Technology helps prevent vacuum degradation caused by LN2 overfill, further improving long-term performance. These advancements reinforce MVE’s commitment to innovation, ensuring superior vacuum integrity and making their dewars the trusted standard for long-term cryogenic storage.


Features
- Enhanced Inner Construction: Improvement over the current design to withstand the physical stress of shipping and handling.
- Durable Neck Ring Design: Increased structural integrity to avoid breakage during transport.
- Integrated Locking Tab: Avoids welded tab breaks for added security.
- Improved Hold Times: Significantly improved hold times – between 19 and 26 days – to mitigate shipment delay risk.
o SC 4/2V: Increased from 13 days to 19 days
o SC 4/3V: Increased from 21 days to 26 days - Vapour Shield Technology: Minimises the risk of vacuum degradation resulting from LN2 overfill.
