Liquid Nitrogen

Liquid Nitrogen supply for your cryogenic needs with total safety

Liquid nitrogen is extensively utilised in laboratories, hospitals, and research facilities for the storage and transportation of sensitive materials. Whether you are storing or transporting these fluids, using the correct tank is still essential for safe handling. A suitable tank keeps the product at the proper temperature, minimises pressure fluctuations and reduces the risk of spills or sudden evaporation.

Equipment and support

CRYOPDP supplies liquid nitrogen and cryogenic containers for storage and transport. Our teams can advise on tank selection, installation, and daily handling, taking into account your volume, space, and operational needs. We provide containers that align with your processes, ensuring samples and products remain under controlled conditions from filling to delivery. Along the way, support includes guidance on maintenance routines, pre-use checks, and best practices during transfers between tanks or containers.

Personal protection and safety risks

To handle liquid nitrogen safely, staff must wear personal protective equipment designed for extremely low temperatures. This includes insulated gloves, eye and face protection, long sleeves, protective aprons, and closed footwear. Standard laboratory gloves or glasses are inadequate for liquid nitrogen work and should not be used.

These cryogenic fluids can cause severe cold burns on contact with skin, eyes, or face. Burns may occur from direct contact or splashes and can develop quickly. In enclosed or poorly ventilated rooms, evaporated nitrogen can reduce oxygen levels, increasing the risk of asphyxiation. Therefore, work areas should have good ventilation, oxygen monitoring where necessary, and clear procedures for safety emergencies.

By combining suitable equipment, clear instructions, and basic training, organisations can safely and effectively use liquid nitrogen.
