Cryogenic Shippers FAQ
Q: What is a cryogenic shipper?
A cryogenic shipper is an insulated container designed to transport temperature-sensitive materials — such as biological samples, vaccines, cell lines, and tissue — at cryogenic temperatures using liquid nitrogen. Unlike standard dry ice shippers, cryogenic shippers can maintain temperatures as low as −150 °C to −196 °C for extended periods, making them essential for long-distance or international transport of irreplaceable specimens.
Q: Why is it called cryogenic?
"Cryogenic" comes from the Greek words kryo (cold) and genic (producing). In science and industry, the term refers to temperatures below −150 °C, at which gases like nitrogen, oxygen, and helium become liquid. Any equipment, container, or process operating in this ultra-low temperature range is described as cryogenic.
Q: How long can a cryogenic shipper maintain its temperature?
Most cryogenic shippers are designed to hold temperature for 24 to 96 hours, with some high-performance dry vapor units lasting 7–10 days or more. Hold time depends on the amount of LN2 charged, ambient temperature, and how frequently the shipper is opened. Always verify the validated hold time for your specific shipper model before use.
Q: What is the biggest hazard with a cryogenic shipper?
The primary hazards are oxygen displacement and pressure buildup. As LN2 evaporates, it expands to roughly 700 times its liquid volume as nitrogen gas, which can displace oxygen in enclosed spaces such as aircraft cargo holds or vehicle cabins — creating a serious asphyxiation risk. Cryogenic shippers must be transported upright, in well-ventilated areas, and comply with IATA and DOT regulations for air and ground transport.
Q: Are cryogenic shippers allowed on airplanes?
Yes, but with strict conditions. Dry vapor (vapor-phase) cryogenic shippers that meet IATA Packing Instruction P650 are permitted on commercial flights, as they vent safely without risk of spillage. Liquid-phase shippers containing free liquid nitrogen are generally not permitted in aircraft cabins or holds. Always check with your carrier and ensure your shipper has the appropriate IATA certification before booking.
