Liquid nitrogen tank

Liquid nitrogen tank: A container for super cooled liquid nitrogen. You may be surprised to hear that nitrogen is a gas that is prevalent in the air that we breathe in every day. Yet, in extreme cold, at -196 degrees Celsius (-321 degrees Fahrenheit), nitrogen turns from a gaseous to a liquid state. This liquid is mind-bogglingly cold — so cold it can freeze all sorts of stuff in seconds and keep it frozen for a very long time. This method allows scientists to store key samples without altering them. 

Have you heard of biobanks before? Special places where scientists store samples — blood, tissues, cells, and everything in between are called biobanks. Boyd said that these samples are highly valuable as they allow researchers to better understand diseases and develop new treatments. Analyzing these AGEM large liquid nitrogen dewar samples can show scientists how diseases work and how to develop better medicines.

How a Liquid Nitrogen Tank Preserves Samples and Materials

They must be stored at very low temperatures to maintain their safety and usability for research. That’s where liquid nitrogen tanks are quite useful! By immersing their samples in liquid nitrogen, scientists can cool them very quickly. Their extreme cold helps maintain the samples at -196°C (-321°F), which they can remain frozen for years. In other words, scientists have these samples available for any time they require to do experiments or studies. 

Biobanks do not hold all liquid nitrogen tanks. They have all sorts of supposedly uses in different branches of science! Astronomers, who observe stars and planets, for example, cool their telescopes with liquid nitrogen. When Sun and other resembling objects are observed, their electromagnetic waves can heat telescopes pretty quickly. Astronomers are able to study stars or planets significantly better, which allows them to gather more information about the universe by cooling the telescopes using AGEM liquid nitrogen.
