The small barrel in the liquid nitrogen tank is an important tool that connects the ultra-low temperature environment with the operator, and its importance is often underestimated. This article will comprehensively analyze this small but crucial accessory.
 
 
1. The core function of the barrel
 
Sample protection: Provide a stable low-temperature environment for cryopreservation tubes
 
Safe operation: Keep a safe distance between the user and liquid nitrogen
 
Easy to take and put: Realize rapid positioning and taking and putting of samples
 
Temperature buffering: Reduce temperature fluctuations when taking and putting samples
 
 
2. Key points for material selection
 
Aluminum alloy version:
 
Advantages: Light weight (only 300-500g), fast heat conduction
 
Disadvantages: Slightly poor durability
 
Applicable to: Common conventional samples
 
Stainless steel version:
 
Advantages: Strong corrosion resistance and long service life
 
Disadvantages: Heavy weight (800-1200g)
 
Applicable to: Important samples for long-term storage
 
 
3. Key design details
 
Bottom drainage holes:
 
Standard type: 3-5 round holes with a diameter of 8mm
 
Optimized: Grid-shaped drainage design
 
Function: Prevent liquid nitrogen accumulation and splashing
 
Non-slip handle:
 
Material: Silicone/Teflon coating
 
Angle: 15° ergonomic tilt
 
Pattern: Non-slip diamond grid design
 
 
4. Usage standards
 
Pretreatment process:
 
New barrels need to be cooled in steps for the first time
 
Precool with liquid nitrogen vapor for 5 minutes
 
Fully immersed, then let stand for 10 minutes
 
 
Master these professional knowledge and usage tips, you will be able to maximize the performance of liquid nitrogen tank barrels and ensure sample safety and efficiency. Remember, proper use can extend the service life of the barrel by 3-5 times, which is an important aspect of laboratory cost control.
