The YDS-20 is a cryogenic storage container designed to store and transport liquid nitrogen and frozen biological samples such as bull semen, embryos, and other cryopreserved materials for short- to medium-term storage and transfer.
The tank has a 20‑liter nominal capacity. Its external dimensions are approximately 360 mm in diameter and 607 mm in height, with an empty weight of 8.6 kg.
The YDS-20 comes with 6 canisters (organizers) for sample storage. Additional accessories such as racks, inner canisters, or special adapters may be available separately—check with the supplier.
The neck diameter is 50 mm. Neck size determines which caps, canisters, and transfer tools are compatible and affects ease of access and sealing of the cryocontainer.
Yes. The product is certified to ISO 9001 and carries CE marking, indicating it meets applicable quality management and European conformity requirements.
Transport of liquid nitrogen and cryogenic samples is regulated. The tank may be used for road transport if compliant with local regulations. Air transport typically requires compliance with IATA/ICAO dangerous goods rules; many carriers will only accept empty, properly prepared containers or require special documentation. Always confirm carrier and regulatory requirements before shipping.
Static holding time depends on fill level, ambient temperature, frequency of lid openings, and condition of the vacuum insulation. The manufacturer’s spec sheet provides exact holding-time figures—contact CNCD or your supplier for the rated static evaporation/hold time for this model.
Capacity in terms of straws depends on straw size (e.g., 0.25 ml vs 0.5 ml), rack configuration, and how canisters are loaded. Typical canisters hold anywhere from a few dozen to several hundred straws. For precise counts, request a layout or capacity chart from CNCD or your supplier.
The YDS-20 is constructed as a durable pressure vessel suitable for cryogenic use. Materials and construction are chosen for liquid nitrogen compatibility; follow the manufacturer’s maintenance and inspection schedule for long-term reliability.
Always use proper PPE (insulated cryo gloves, face shield and protective clothing), work in well-ventilated areas to avoid asphyxiation risk, always store and transport upright, avoid sealed/airtight containers, and follow the manufacturer's instructions for filling, handling and maintenance. Inspect seals and pressure-relief features regularly.
Fill from a suitable LN2 supply source using approved transfer equipment. Add LN2 slowly to avoid splashing and over-pressurization. Follow CNCD’s filling instructions and safety procedures. If unsure, have trained personnel perform refilling.
Regularly inspect the neck, lid, seals, and canisters for damage, check for excessive frost or rapid evaporation (which may indicate vacuum loss), keep the tank clean and dry externally, and follow any periodic leak-check or service intervals recommended by CNCD. Do not attempt internal repairs—contact authorized service personnel.
An increased evaporation (boil-off) rate often indicates degraded vacuum insulation or damaged components. Reduce lid openings, top up LN2 if needed for safe sample temperatures, and contact CNCD or an authorized service center for inspection and repair. Do not continue long-term use if vacuum is compromised.
Warranty terms and service options vary by supplier and region. Contact the vendor or CNCD directly for warranty details, authorized service centers, and availability of spare parts such as lids, seals, or canisters.
