Product Description
LIGHT LABS is proud to offer the Crystal Technology & Industries Aluminum Blood Bag Canister for Baxter/Fenwal 250 mL Bags (Cat # C-4R9953). This lightweight aluminum canister is sized to hold Baxter/Fenwal 250 mL blood bags, part numbers 4R-9953 and 4R-5461, flat and protected during freezing and long-term cryogenic storage. It suits blood banks, cord blood banks, cell therapy labs, and biorepositories that store blood products, stem cells, and other bagged biological materials in ultra-low and liquid nitrogen freezers.
Lightweight aluminum gives the C-4R9953 good thermal transfer for consistent, controlled freezing while keeping the canister easy to handle. A locking handle keeps the canister securely closed around the bag, and a thumb hole makes it easy to grip and open, even with cryogenic gloves. The canister is autoclavable for sterilization between uses. At just 1/2" thick, it holds the bag in a flat, uniform profile that freezes evenly and stores efficiently.
The C-4R9953 is part of a complete Crystal storage system. Stainless steel canister frames hold 3, 4, or 5 canisters with a carrying handle, and aluminum platform dividers organize the frames inside liquid nitrogen storage tanks to make the most of freezer space. The canister is also compatible with Crystal's Universal storage line. LIGHT LABS is your trusted source for laboratory and cryogenic storage solutions.
