Lab and Medical Scale Freezing
Cryogens are often used for preservation of biological tissue samples, blood samples, and related lab applications.
Cryogens can be supplied in small or large liquid cylinders suitable to the rate of usage by the application. MATHESON representatives can help with recommendations regarding vessel size. In addition to recommending cryogen storage vessel capacity, MATHESON can also support the selection of the freezer type.
