The traditional method of export shipment and distribution for biological products such as semen and vaccines has involved wet shipment under liquid nitrogen. In recent years, many traditional shipping companies have either prohibited the shipment of liquid nitrogen, or placed hazardous material surcharges on shipments, making this method of transport uneconomical.
In many cases, vapor shippers have become the method of choice for cryogenic shipment. These shippers hold samples at cryogenic temperature and allow a wide variety of shipping methods to be employed, even export shipments. Regarding transport, this is a perfect solution, regarding distribution, it is not. Once at the destination, the samples have to be transferred into a liquid storage tank. Meanwhile, the shipping container must be recovered by the shipping company, incurring an additional “return shipment”.
The Doble Series tanks are the first units to be designed for both vapor shipment and liquid storage. A unique absorbent layer in the base of the storage tanks enables them to be charged with nitrogen and employed as dry shippers with hold times of up to 30 days. Once at the final destination, the tanks can be filled with liquid and used for long term storage, therefore avoiding the need for return
shipments. |
