Liquid Nitrogen Tanks

Liquid nitrogen tanks are specialized containers designed to store nitrogen in its liquid state, which occurs at extremely low temperatures (about -196 degrees Celsius or -321 degrees Fahrenheit). These tanks preserve materials by slowing down chemical reactions and preventing growth, making them essential in various fields like medicine for storing biological samples, in laboratories for cryopreservation, and in food processing. The tanks are equipped with safety features to manage the pressure created as the liquid nitrogen evaporates back into gas. Proper handling is crucial, as contact with skin can cause severe frostbite.
