Description
Cylindrical Dewar flask, type 18C is a laboratory vessel for dry-ice handling and low-temperature containment. It offers a nominal volume of 2,5 l, an inner diameter of 110 mm and an outer diameter of 140 mm. Usable inner height is 290 mm while the overall external height measures 345 mm. The flask is enclosed in a blue-coated metal protective casing that improves mechanical robustness during routine bench work and transport. Supplied by manufacturer KGW Isotherm as a single unit, the type 18C cylindrical design supports straightforward loading and retrieval of coolants or temperature-sensitive materials. Net weight is 1,7 kg and gross weight 2 kg, keeping the vessel practical to position on the laboratory bench. Typical use includes temporary storage of dry ice, cooling baths and short-term cryogenic sample holding in chemistry, biology and materials-science laboratories. The clear dimensional proportions and protective outer jacket make this Dewar a reliable choice for everyday cold-storage workflows that demand consistent geometry and durable construction.

Questions about Cylindrical Dewar flask Typ 18C
What is this article?
Cylindrical Dewar flask Typ 18C is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes KGW Isotherm for laboratory use. It sits in Cryo boxes, racks & freezer storage, inside Cryogenics & cold storage, in Lab consumables.
A cryo box or a freezer rack is how vials are found again at −80 °C or in the vapour phase of nitrogen. The grid, 9×9 or 10×10, has to match the vials. A cardboard box and a polycarbonate box differ in whether they survive liquid nitrogen. The map of the box is part of the sample.
Cold storage slows chemistry and keeps cells, proteins and nucleic acids from falling apart. A cryogenic vial is made to survive liquid-nitrogen temperatures and to be sealed against the liquid. A box and a rack are how those vials are found again. The article is not part of free standard delivery when it must stay cold: cold-chain goods are never included in that free delivery. Biosafety of the material inside is summarised by the WHO laboratory biosafety topic. Reference lines are held by ATCC.
