Semen Straw Storage Canister with Lifter

Product Name Semen Straw Storage Canister with Lifter
Product Image Semen straw storage canister with lifter
Product Overview The Semen Straw Storage Canister with Lifter is a cryogenic storage accessory designed to organize and retrieve semen goblets and straws inside liquid nitrogen tanks. It is suitable for cattle, equine, swine, goat-farming-equipment/" target="_blank" class="keylink">sheep, goat, and other livestock artificial insemination and genetics programs.

The canister is positioned vertically inside a compatible LN2 storage tank and provides dedicated storage levels for semen goblets. An extended lifter allows operators to raise the canister or access stored goblets while minimizing unnecessary exposure of frozen semen to higher temperatures.

Different canister heights are available, with configurations designed to accommodate between 2 and 6 goblets. The appropriate model can be selected according to liquid nitrogen tank dimensions and required semen straw storage capacity.
Key Features
  • Designed specifically for semen straw storage in liquid nitrogen tanks.
  • Integrated lifter facilitates convenient retrieval of stored goblets.
  • Available in multiple heights for different LN2 tank configurations.
  • 2-level to 6-level configurations are available.
  • Designed for use with compatible 65 mm semen storage goblets.
  • Lightweight plastic construction suitable for cryogenic storage applications.
  • Supports systematic organization of frozen semen inventory.
  • Suitable for commercial breeding centers, semen banks, and AI laboratories.
  • Storage configuration can be selected according to project requirements.
Structural Components The storage assembly consists primarily of a vertical canister body, multiple goblet storage levels, and an extended lifting element. Compatible semen storage goblets, visotubes, identification rods, and canister flags can be used together to create an organized cryogenic storage system.

The long lifting structure remains accessible near the upper area of the liquid nitrogen tank, allowing the operator to identify and retrieve the required storage position without removing unrelated semen inventory.
Working Principle / Structural Principle Frozen semen straws are organized in compatible visotubes or goblets before being placed into the canister. The loaded canister is then lowered into the designated cryogenic storage position inside the liquid nitrogen tank.

When semen is required, the operator identifies the appropriate canister and uses the lifting element to raise the required storage level toward the tank neck. The required goblet or semen straw can then be accessed with suitable cryogenic handling tools.

After retrieval, the canister is immediately returned to its normal storage position to help maintain the remaining semen samples within the required cryogenic environment.

Customization Options Canister configuration can be selected according to liquid nitrogen tank dimensions, semen inventory volume, goblet arrangement, and laboratory workflow.

Available options may include 2-level to 6-level canisters, compatible 65 mm goblets, semen straw visotubes, identification rods, colored canister flags, cryogenic forceps, storage organizers, and compatible liquid nitrogen tanks.

Complete semen storage configurations are available according to project requirements.
Installation & Maintenance Before use, confirm that the selected canister dimensions and number of storage levels are compatible with the liquid nitrogen tank. Organize semen straws inside appropriate goblets or visotubes and establish a clear identification system before lowering the canister into the tank.

During retrieval, raise only the required canister and keep frozen semen below the frost line whenever practical. Complete the retrieval procedure quickly and return the storage assembly to the liquid nitrogen zone.

Inspect the canister body and lifting element periodically for deformation, cracking, or other damage. Damaged components should be replaced before continued cryogenic use.
Project Cases The Semen Straw Storage Canister with Lifter can be integrated into complete livestock semen cryogenic storage projects. A typical system may include liquid nitrogen tanks, semen storage canisters, 65 mm goblets, visotubes, identification rods, colored flags, cryogenic forceps, semen straw inventory systems, and thawing equipment.

For large genetics centers and semen banks, individual canisters can be assigned to specific breeds, sires, genetic lines, collection batches, or production periods to improve inventory control and sample traceability.
Product FAQ Q: What is the canister designed to store?
A: It is designed to hold compatible goblets containing frozen semen straws inside a liquid nitrogen tank.

Q: How many storage levels are available?
A: 2-level, 3-level, 4-level, 5-level, and 6-level configurations are available.

Q: How many goblets can be stored?
