This manual details safety precautions and
handling procedures that must be understood
before using the device. Be sure to review the
entire manual before using any cryogenic
shipper.
A replacement manual can be downloaded
from the website or ordered from your supplier
as needed at any point in time.
Store and use these containers only in well ventilated areas.
In a confined area, nitrogen gas from these units may cause suffoca-
tion by displacing breathable air.
Installing an oxygen monitor is recommended.
The liquid nitrogen in these containers is extremely cold -196°C
(-320°F).
DO NOT touch liquid nitrogen or cold metal surfaces with your bare
skin. Exposure of skin or eyes to liquid, cold gas or frosted parts could
result in a severe frostbite injury.
Because of the extremely low temperature, a face shield and pro-
tective gloves must be worn when transferring liquid nitrogen and
samples into or out of these containers.
A tight-fitting plug or stopper will cause a pressure increase in the
container that may damage the container and/or cause personal
injury.
Disposal of liquid nitrogen should only be done outdoors or in areas
specifically designed for that purpose. Pour the liquid slowly on gravel
or bare earth where it can evaporate without causing damage.
