Below is a new video produced to demonstrate the functionality of the CryoPorter from Taurus Trading Inc. For accessibility the written contents of the video are posted just below:

Introducing the cryo porter from taurus trading inc. This cryogenic freezer unit is designed to aid in the storage and transportation of lab specimens. Weighing in at just 22lbs it is light enough for almost anyone to cary and fits conveniently into most cramped spaces, including the suitcase you see here.

The Cryoporter is a safe and efficient alternative to dry ice and liquid nitrogen which can cause burns and offer less control over maintaining a set temperature.

The Cryoporter is powered by a quiet stirling engine that runs off of any standard 120v wall outlet and has an optional battery attachment that can run the unit between power sources. Inside, the cryoporter contains a removable aluminum block that can be customized to fit your specimen needs.

Once the Cryoporter has been turned on, it can reach -80C within 2 hours, at that point, any specimen that is added will reach parity in four minutes. An easy to use control panel is situated at the front of the cryoporter along with an LCD screen that displays settings and temperature.

The cryoporter is designed to be simple and durable, from the handle at the top to the changable fuse you see here.

Whether you’re in need of a portable freezer unit or looking for a way to separate spaces, creating ownership and promoting cleanliness in a lab, the cryoporter will meet your needs.

In addition to the 120V primary power source cryporter is designed to work with, a 12V car adapter is included for use on the road or in airplanes, once plugged in it will immediately begin running to keep your specimens cool.

“For the past year, we have been using the “Cryoporter CS -80C” in our lab to store E. coli competent cells. The product is designed to provide labs with -80°C storage capability at the bench space, thus circumventing off-site storage hassles. We found that this capability greatly improved our lab’s efficiency and cut down on contamination issues related to sharing common space. In addition, we found that the thermostat and exterior temperature indicators were very reliable and robust, always accurate to a margin of ± 0.1°C. The unit has a sound design and occupies very little space on the bench. We have never experienced any technical difficulties or power failures from this unit. Overall, we are very satisfied and impressed with the general performance of the Cryoporter. We would recommend the Cryoporter without reservation to any lab looking for space-conscious solution.”

CRYO PORTER – from SCINICS Corporation

A best-of-breed portable cryostat. It cools quickly and maintains -80C with superior efficiency.
Suggested Retail Price $3,500

Detailed Description and Features of Cryo Porter:

Accurate and fast temperature control
From the front control panel, Cryo Porter’s temperature is easily adjusted within a wide range of temperatures. From an ambient temperature of +25C the unit reaches a target temperature of -80C in approximately 2 hours. After reaching -80C,it can bring liquid contained in sample tubes to -80C within 4 min.
Easy to operate
Simply plug the power cord in to any 100~120V outlet, (or 12V power source with DC plug),and turn on. Set the unit to the desired temperature on the easy-to-use control panel.
Easier, longer transport of samples
The unit’s weight is approximately 22 lbs. It can be carried anywhere. It can be operated on vehicles, airplanes… anywhere a power socket is available!If it is necessary to transport your samples for some distance, you just plug in the cigarette lighter adapter in the vehicle and it will be ready to run, just as if you were at a stationary power source (cigarette lighter plug is included with this unit).
Stirling engine cooling system : the ultimate in advanced cooling
The Cryo Porter features the unique Stirling cooling system. Reliable, economical,and eco-friendly, this system outperforms the common Peltier/compressor system with increased energy efficiency and less noise and vibration. It also generates very little excess heat: even when operated continuously for long periods.
No more dry ice or liquid nitrogen are needed
Unit runs solely on DC electrical power, 12V in vehicles, or by optional back-up unit.Not only is the Cryo Porter eco-friendly in terms of its power usage, but you won’t need to procure either liquid nitrogen or dry ice for your cooling needs ever again.
Various tubes & receptacles available
Temperature preservation with no power

After turning the unit off while running at -80C, given a stable room temp of +25C and using as an example a block of 1.5ml tubes or 50ml water, the temperature would rise from -80C to -20C after approximately 125 minutes.
