Dry shipper

A dry shipper, or cryoshipper, is a container specifically engineered to transport biological specimens at cryogenic temperatures utilizing the vapor phase of liquid nitrogen.

[1][2] The architecture of a dry shipper encompasses two primary components: an internal canister and an external protective shell.

[2] A distinctive feature of dry shippers is their ability to avert direct contact between samples and liquid nitrogen, reducing risks of contamination and ensuring consistent cryogenic conditions during transit.

[1][3] In the realm of reproductive medicine, these containers facilitate the transportation of delicate biological entities, including human ova and embryos.

[1][4][5] Moreover, biobanks, which archive diverse biological specimens for subsequent scientific exploration, utilize dry shippers to dispatch and acquire samples from researchers worldwide.
