EM-Tec Save-Storr sample storage containers

Micro to Nano EM-TEC Save-Storr sample storage containers have been developed to store sensitive samples under a dry and inert gas atmosphere.

EM-Tec Save-Storr comprise a hinged container with a seal, separate gas inlet and outlet valves and an over-pressure safety valve. The containers can be purged and filled with dry inert gas such as nitrogen or argon to protect moisture and oxygen sensitive samples. The construction allows vacuum pumping of the EM-Tec Save-Storr container first whilst purging/filling it with inert gas. Using inert gas to protect samples is preferred for long term safe sample storage. The gas diffusion rate is lower than with vacuum storage containers due to the similar pressures in and outside the container. EM-Tec Save Storr sample containers are available in four versions with 1.75, 4.4, 7.1 and 10.5 litres storage capacity

The optional EM-Tec Save-Storr perforated shelf doubles the storage area in the Save-Storr container. Made from perforated aluminium sheet with dimensions of 187 x 89mm and 30mm high feet. The perforated sheet contain 57 holes which enable storage of 57 of the Ø12.7mm pin stubs with a standard Ø3.2mm (1/8”) pin. The gaps at the sides and the perforation ensure adequate gas flow throughout EM-Tec Safe-Storr containers.
