Representative cryogenic storage tank configuration. Final appearance, capacity and internal storage arrangement can be customized according to project requirements.

Product Overview

The Embryo Storage Liquid Nitrogen Tank provides a controlled cryogenic environment for preserving frozen embryos used in livestock reproduction and genetic improvement programs. Its vacuum-insulated construction helps reduce heat transfer and supports efficient liquid nitrogen storage.

It is suitable for commercial pig farms, livestock breeding centers, nucleus farms, veterinary reproductive facilities and agricultural genetics projects. Compatible canisters or storage assemblies allow embryos to be organized for identification, inventory control and retrieval.

The compact storage format can be integrated into dedicated genetics, embryo transfer or veterinary areas without requiring permanent connection to a pig house, steel structure building or other farm structure.

Key Features
  • Vacuum-insulated construction helps minimize heat transfer and maintain efficient cryogenic storage.
  • Durable metal construction is suitable for professional livestock breeding and veterinary environments.
  • Organized internal storage supports systematic management of embryos by donor, genetic line, batch or project.
  • Convenient sample access supports routine embryo inventory management and retrieval.
  • Multiple capacity configurations can accommodate different breeding operation scales.
  • Portable and floor-standing options provide flexibility for different farm layouts.
  • Customizable storage configuration supports project-specific embryo handling requirements.
  • Suitable for commercial livestock projects with different climate and farm operating conditions.
Structural Components
  • Outer vessel: Durable metal shell providing structural protection during normal handling.
  • Vacuum-insulated chamber: Reduces heat transfer between the ambient environment and inner reservoir.
  • Inner reservoir: Holds liquid nitrogen for cryogenic preservation.
  • Neck tube: Provides access to the internal storage area while helping reduce heat ingress.
  • Insulated lid or neck plug: Helps protect the storage opening and limit unnecessary heat exchange.
  • Canisters or storage assemblies: Provide organized positions for compatible embryo straws, vials or carriers.
  • Internal support components: Facilitate positioning and retrieval of storage canisters.
  • Handling components: External handles and protective accessories can be provided according to configuration.
Working Principle / Structural Principle

Liquid nitrogen is stored inside the inner reservoir to provide the ultra-low-temperature environment required for cryogenic embryo preservation. The vacuum-insulated space around the reservoir limits heat transfer from the surrounding environment.

Frozen embryos are stored in compatible straws, vials or carrier systems and arranged inside dedicated canisters or racks. The insulated neck and lid arrangement helps minimize unnecessary heat exchange during normal storage and handling.

The internal organization system allows operators to manage embryo inventory according to donor, genetic line, collection batch, date or project reference.

Installation & Maintenance

Installation: The tank is normally used as a floor-standing or movable cryogenic storage unit. No permanent connection to the pig house, steel structure building or farm building is normally required. Place the tank on a stable, level surface in a clean, dry and well-ventilated area.

Layout: For commercial livestock projects, a dedicated genetics, embryo transfer or veterinary service area is recommended. Adequate working clearance should be provided for LN2 filling, lid operation and sample retrieval.

Maintenance: Monitor the liquid nitrogen level regularly, inspect the tank and neck area for abnormal frost or physical damage, keep the lid correctly positioned and maintain accurate embryo inventory records.

Safety: Liquid nitrogen can cause severe cold burns and may displace oxygen in confined or poorly ventilated areas. Suitable cryogenic PPE, safe handling procedures and adequate ventilation are required.

Product FAQ

Q1: What is an embryo storage liquid nitrogen tank used for?

It is used to preserve frozen embryos and compatible livestock genetic materials in a controlled liquid nitrogen cryogenic environment.

Q2: Is it suitable for commercial pig breeding projects?

Yes. It can be used in commercial swine farms, nucleus breeding farms, reproductive centers and integrated livestock genetics programs.

Q3: How should the tank capacity be selected?

Capacity should be selected according to current embryo inventory, expected inventory growth, retrieval frequency, available floor space and the farm's reproductive management workflow.

Q4: Can the internal storage arrangement be customized?

Yes. Canister quantity, storage arrangement and compatible embryo container configurations can be selected according to the tank model and project requirements.

Q5: Does the tank require permanent installation?

Normally, no permanent installation is required. A stable surface, adequate ventilation and sufficient working clearance are the primary installation requirements.

Q6: Can it be supplied for overseas livestock projects?

Yes. Product configuration, export packaging and supporting documentation can be arranged according to project requirements and destination conditions.
