CRYOSTORAGE AND TRANSPORT EQUIPMENT

MVE

Vapor Shippers, -150°C Specimen Transport
The MVE Vapor Shipper containers are designed for the safe transportation of biological samples at cryogenic (-150°C) temperatures. Fabricated from durable, lightweight aluminum, they contain a hydrophobic absorbent that contains the liquid nitrogen. The absorbent also repels moisture and humidity, assuring the maximum holding time.

A protective shipping carton for all models that protects the container from being placed on its side and helps in withstanding the rigors of transportation is available. These containers can be used to ship samples with a "non-hazardous" classification throughout the world.
