The entire 2.5 inch working depth of the CryoPod™ Carrier remains well below -150°C for over 4 hours with one charge of LN2 and with the lid closed. Temperature
readings were taken on the CryoPod Carrier interior basket floor, 2 inches and 2.5
inches from the floor, and on the top of the chamber for over 4 hours. The chamber
is situated above the compartment containing LN2 and there is no direct contact
between the chamber contents (e.g. cryobox) and the LN2.
