Up for Auction we have a Taylor-Wharton 3K Series Cryogenic Storage Dewar. The Taylor-Wharton 3K Series is a type of cryogenic storage vessel, or dewar, designed for storing large quantities of biological samples in liquid nitrogen (LN2). The product line is now manufactured by IC Biomedical, which acquired Worthington Industries and the former Taylor-Wharton cryogenic equipment line.
Specifications and Capabilities
Capacity: The 3K vessel can store up to 3,024 standard 2.0 ml vials.
Liquid nitrogen capacity: 48 liters.
Static holding time: 19 days. This is the estimated time the vessel can hold its liquid nitrogen supply under controlled, non-operational conditions.
Evaporation rate: 2.5 liters per day.
Working time: 12 days. This is an estimated reference value for performance during actual use.
Construction: The freezer features a durable, all-stainless-steel vacuum vessel and exterior, and a wide neck opening for easy access to samples.
Dimensions:
Overall height: 29.7 inches (754 mm).
Overall diameter: 15.4 inches (391 mm).
Neck diameter: 14 inches (356 mm).
Internal height: 19.2 inches (488 mm).
Weight:
Empty: 42 lbs (19.1 kg).
Full: 125 lbs (56.7 kg).
Storage options: The system can be configured for either liquid or vapor-phase storage, depending on the requirements of the biological samples.
Features and Benefits
High capacity: Provides ample storage for thousands of 2ml vials, ideal for labs that need to manage a large sample inventory.
Easy access: The wide neck design allows for unobstructed access to the contents, making sample retrieval more efficient.
Inventory control: The K-Series is compatible with modular rack-and-box systems for organizing samples. For vapor-phase storage, aluminum racks must be used.
Durable construction: The stainless-steel exterior and vacuum vessel ensure longevity and superior thermal performance.
Accessories: Optional accessories, such as a roller base for mobility and a low liquid level alarm for monitoring, are available to enhance the unit's functionality.
The Cryogenic Dewar comes with 6 Wedge Inventory Tower Racks. The Dewar sits on top of a rolling metal base, it is not attached to it. The wheels on the base roll properly. The Dewar may show cosmetic wear such as scratches, scuffs, stickers, and labels. Please reference included photos and model number for more details. This Unit is being sold AS IS.
