VitroStash MAX - High Capacity / low footprint Liquid Nitrogen Dewar for IVF
VitroStash MAX - High Capacity / low footprint Liquid Nitrogen Dewar for IVF
For IVF laboratories, frequently, storage space is at a premium. The VitroStash Max from ColdStash USA represents a breakthrough solution for IVF labs facing the constant challenge of maximising sample storage while minimising footprint. This innovative 95-litre cryostorage dewar system doesn't just incrementally improve storage capacity—it transforms it, offering up to 500% more storage capability than traditionally used 47/11 dewars while maintaining the highest standards of sample security and preservation.
Key Features of VitroStash Max
The VitroStash Max stands apart from conventional storage solutions through its innovative design and engineering excellence. Each feature has been carefully developed to address the specific needs of modern laboratories and IVF clinics.
Revolutionary Storage Capacity
The VitroStash Max utilizes an innovative stacked canister design that dramatically increases storage efficiency. Twelve VitroStash stacked canisters, containing shortened canes, goblets and sleeves, this system can accommodate up to 720 locations and up to 7,200 straw capacity from all straw manufacturers—a 500% increase over traditional 47L dewars with standard canister configurations.
Optimised Footprint-to-Capacity Ratio
While the VitroStash Max features a 30% larger diameter than standard 47/11 models, this modest increase in footprint delivers a disproportionate 500% gain in storage capacity. This exceptional space efficiency makes it ideal for laboratories with limited floor space but growing storage needs.
Solid Canisters for added security
Solid-bottom canisters ensures temperature stability when manipulating specimens. Liquid Nitrogen remains in the canister for up to 28 minutes outside the dewar.
Advanced Construction
Manufactured from high-strength aluminum alloy with an advanced powder coat finish, the VitroStash Max combines durability with performance. This construction ensures excellent thermal properties while providing a service life of five years under normal operating conditions.
Enhanced Monitoring Capabilities
Optional temperature and liquid level monitoring systems provide continuous oversight of storage conditions, ensuring sample integrity and alerting staff to any deviations from optimal parameters. These monitoring features can be integrated with existing laboratory management systems.
Benefits: Solving Critical Laboratory Challenges
Beyond its impressive technical specifications, the VitroStash Max delivers tangible benefits that address the most pressing challenges faced by modern laboratories and IVF clinics.
Significant Cost Reduction
The VitroStash Max reduces storage costs by over 60% compared to traditional systems. This cost efficiency comes from multiple sources:
- Fewer dewars required for the same storage capacity
- Reduced liquid nitrogen consumption
- Lower energy usage
- Minimised space requirements
Space savings - Reduce your storage footprint with VitroStash Max
Enhanced Sample Security
With optional locked-lid switches and integrated monitoring systems, the VitroStash Max provides superior protection for irreplaceable biological samples. The system's design minimizes alarm occurrences, reducing potential risks and demands on laboratory staff.
The robust construction and reliable performance ensure consistent cryogenic conditions, critical for maintaining sample viability over extended storage periods.
Operational Efficiency
The VitroStash Max streamlines laboratory operations through:
- Reduced frequency of liquid nitrogen refills
- Organised storage system for easier sample retrieval
- Minimised maintenance requirements
- Simplified inventory management with higher capacity

Frequently Asked Questions About VitroStash Max
How does the VitroStash Max achieve its increased storage capacity?
The VitroStash Max utilises an innovative stacked canister design that maximizes vertical space within the dewar. By using twelve specially designed VitroStash stacked canisters with integrated canes and goblets, the system creates multiple storage levels within each canister. This vertical optimisation, combined with the larger 95L capacity, delivers the dramatic 500% increase in storage capability compared to traditional systems.
What is the expected liquid nitrogen consumption of the VitroStash Max?
While specific consumption rates depend on usage patterns and environmental conditions, the VitroStash Max typically demonstrates significantly lower liquid nitrogen consumption per stored sample compared to traditional systems. Most facilities report a 50-60% reduction in LN₂ costs per patient when transitioning from standard storage systems to the VitroStash Max.
Is the VitroStash Max compatible with existing laboratory monitoring systems?
Yes, the VitroStash Max can be equipped with temperature and liquid level monitoring systems that integrate with most standard laboratory management systems. The monitoring options can be specified at the time of order or added later as an upgrade. Consult with your sales representative for specific compatibility information regarding your existing monitoring infrastructure.
What maintenance is required for the VitroStash Max?
The VitroStash Max is designed for minimal maintenance requirements. Regular visual inspections, proper liquid nitrogen level management, and occasional cleaning of the exterior surfaces are typically sufficient. The system has a service life of five years under normal operating conditions. Detailed maintenance guidelines are provided in the user manual, and service support is available through authorized distributors.
