Chart MVE 819P-190AF-GB Cryogenic Vapor Phase Storage Tank -190°C, 19,500 Vial Capacity

The Chart MVE 819P-190AF-GB is a high-efficiency cryogenic storage tank engineered for ultra-low temperature vapor phase storage, critical in molecular diagnostics, bioprocessing, and synthetic biology research. It offers a maximum capacity of 19,500 internally threaded vials, ensuring exceptional storage density suitable for large-scale biobanking and biomedical engineering applications.

Key technical specifications include:

• Ultra-low temperature operation at -190°C ensuring optimal vitrification conditions and sample integrity.
• LN2 capacity of 463 liters without inventory and 55 liters at vapor platform, optimizing liquid nitrogen consumption for extended hold times.
• Industry-low liftover height and a 12.5-inch neck opening allowing efficient vial access, which is critical for workflows in gene editing and live-cell sample preservation.
• Usable internal height of 34.5 inches and overall height of 65.0 inches with autofill system compatibility (controller not included).
• Compliance with Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC and UL/C-UL listings, meeting rigorous safety and quality standards for clinical and research environments.

Note: The unit is in fair condition with minor cosmetic defects and requires repair of the LN2 filter threads. A compatible MVE TEC 3000 controller is necessary for operation but is not included. This cryofreezer is essential for biomanufacturing pipelines, molecular cloning workflows, and is widely adopted in synthetic biology research due to its reliable vapor phase preservation.

This system is a critical infrastructure component for laboratories focusing on biotechnology applications, providing stable, long-term storage for sensitive biological samples such as stem cells, vaccines, and genetic material under stringent temperature controls.
