What sets the series apart
The neck opening decides.
The neck opening is the largest heat bridge of every vessel. A narrow neck opening keeps nitrogen longest. A wide neck opening takes more canisters or racks, but needs refilling more often. The 5 vessel series of the family, neck openings drawn to scale:

Good to know before you choose
What the numbers mean in daily use.
Holding time is a lab value
Every opening shortens the holding time. Plan your refill interval with a buffer, especially if you access samples often.
Liquid or vapour phase
Samples are stored submerged in liquid nitrogen. With long canisters or racks, storage in the vapour phase above the liquid may also be possible. Ask us before you plan it.
Heavy, but mobile
38.3 kg (AC 3XL65) to 53.8 kg (AC 3XL175) empty. A roller base is available for every size. The AC 3XL is not approved for road transport under ADR.
When to choose another series
For straws, the AC XL+ or AC 2XL. For fewer boxes in a lighter vessel, the AC 2XL-B. For biobank scale with auto-filling, the High-Capacity Freezer.

Not sure which size?
Let the cell storage finder choose.
Four questions about sample format, quantity and refill interval. The finder opens directly on the cell storage path and suggests the right model across all series.
- What do you store: straws, cryovials or both?
- How many samples, now and in five years?
- How often can you refill?
- Stationary or also transported?
