Container for the safe shipping of biogenic material
An absorbent developed by Taylor-Wharton absorbs the liquid nitrogen in the CX containers. This technology, which eliminates the risk of spillage, significantly improves the shipping of biogenic material.
The complete absorption of the liquid nitrogen in the absorption area allows cryogenic and dry storage of the goods to be shipped. A temperature of at least -150°C is maintained in the storage area until the liquid nitrogen evaporates. This increases safety, especially for long transport distances.
International transports are no longer a problem due to the extremely long holding times of the containers and the transport boxes that are part of the system. The containers comply with IATA guidelines.
The data logger, which is available as an accessory, enables the temperature to be monitored without interruption.
On request, the CX series containers can also be supplied with approval in accordance with the Medical Devices Act (MPG) 93/42 EC.
Temperature logger
The temperature logger enables seamless monitoring and documentation of the temperature in the CX and CXR shipping containers. This is indispensable for valuable samples. The electronics and the temperature sensor are integrated in a special neck tube plug. This eliminates the need for separate cable feeds or additional external modules. Thus, the risk of damage during transport is virtually eliminated.
The logger complies with the standards:
- 89/336/EEC (EMC - Directive)
- RTCA D0160D Section 21.4, Radiation Emission - Cat. B (for safe operation on board aircraft)
Features/Equipment:
- Measuring range: -199°C to +40°C (accuracy +/- 3°C)
- Recording of up to 8192 temperature values in non-volatile memory
- Recording interval selectable between 1 and 30 minutes
- Battery life 5 years minimum (non-rechargeable lithium cell)
- Interface for PC for programming, data recording and evaluation
- LED status display for recording (active/standby) and battery status
- LED indicator for temperature too high
Optional:
- Tilt indicator - sensor for detecting impermissibly strong tilt angles. The position of the container is recorded simultaneously with the temperature. Excessive tipping angles are registered in the memory and indicated by LED.
- On request, the CX series containers can also be supplied with approval in accordance with the Medical Devices Act (MPG) 93/42 EC.
