Product description

HCL12 cryogenic freezer stores up to 2940 x 1/2 cc straws at -196ºC with superior vacuum insulation.

The Taylor Wharton HCL12 Series Liquid Nitrogen Freezer is engineered for reliable long-term storage of biological samples and reagents at cryogenic temperatures essential in *biotechnology*, *molecular diagnostics*, and *bioprocessing* research. It features:

  • Capacity: Holds up to 2940 x 1/2 cc straws using six 5-inch canisters, optimizing storage density for genomics and synthetic biology workflows.
  • Temperature Range: Maintains -196ºC at the liquid nitrogen surface and approximately -190ºC at the canister tops, crucial for preserving cellular viability and molecular integrity in *biopharmaceutical production pipelines*.
  • Construction: Robust ribbed high-strength aluminum body with magniformed necktube design enhances durability and structural integrity.
  • Insulation: Superior vacuum insulation combined with super insulation technology ensures maximum liquid nitrogen holding times, reducing evaporation rates and minimizing maintenance.
  • Security Features: Optional low-level liquid nitrogen alarm with remote monitoring capability and lockable lid improve sample safety and monitoring in clinical and research settings.
  • Mobility: Available roller bases facilitate secure and easy transport within laboratory or biomanufacturing environments.
  • Warranty: 5-year vacuum warranty underscores product reliability and performance consistency.

This cryogenic storage dewar is widely used in clinical diagnostics, cell imaging sample preservation, and biological specimen archiving, making it an essential instrument for researchers engaged in *gene editing* and *molecular cloning workflows*. The HCL12 supports critical *live-cell imaging sample storage* by maintaining stable ultra-low temperatures to prevent sample degradation.

*Note:* The system ships complete with necktube core and canisters; straws must be sourced separately. Evaporation rate and holding times are nominal and may vary based on sample nature and environmental conditions.

Ideal for laboratories in *biotechnology*, *neuroscience*, and *biomedical engineering*, the Taylor Wharton HCL12 Series serves as a key solution for scalable, secure cryogenic storage in advanced scientific research and production applications.

Why Questpair exists

Lab equipment markets are fragmented. Buyers spend weeks calling distributors, comparing quotes, and verifying supplier reliability. Sellers struggle to reach global research labs.

We built Questpair to fix this. Every supplier on the platform is verified before listing. Every quote you receive comes from a real, vetted seller. AI prepares your case in minutes, then a real specialist takes over.

We're an independent team based in The Netherlands, working with research labs and procurement teams across Europe and worldwide.

Frequently asked questions

How long does laboratory equipment typically last?

With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.

Can I get service for older equipment?

Often, yes. Verified suppliers frequently work with service partners converting the instrument. If applicable, we can list servicing options alongside the offer.

Where can I buy parts?

Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.

What is the typical lead time for refurbished equipment?

Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.

Does laboratory equipment ship internationally?

We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
