Description
YDS-6 6-Liter Liquid Nitrogen Storage Dewar Tank w/ 6 Canisters Cryogenic
The YDS-6 is a 6-liter static liquid nitrogen (LN2) cryogenic storage dewar designed for long-term biological specimen storage. It uses a vacuum-insulated double-wall construction to maintain cryogenic temperatures passively, with no moving parts or power required. This unit comes with 6 stainless steel dipping canisters for organized storage of biological samples, semen straws, embryos, or similar specimens.

Applications
Static LN2 dewars of the YDS-6 type are standard equipment in laboratories, veterinary practices, fertility clinics, and biobanks for storing biological specimens at cryogenic temperatures. They are commonly used to store bovine or equine semen straws, embryos, cell lines, tissue samples, and other biological material that must be maintained in liquid nitrogen for extended periods. Unlike transport dewars, static dewars are optimized for stationary storage and low nitrogen evaporation rates rather than mobility. The segmented neck plug and numbered canister positions allow organized retrieval of specific samples without warming the vessel. This class of dewar is widely used in animal reproduction, human fertility preservation, research laboratories, and agricultural AI (artificial insemination) programs.
This YDS-6 6-Liter Liquid Nitrogen Storage Dewar has been inspected and is in good overall condition. It was pulled from a working environment where it was in active use. Please note: the top hasp (lid latch) is cracked — this is clearly visible in the photos and should be considered before purchasing. The vessel body, stainless bail handle, neck plug, and all 6 dipping canisters are present and appear intact. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
