Cooling of lab equipment

Laboratories usually prefer dry ice to cool samples, test kits or research material during transport or storage.

Requirements

IJsfabriek Strombeek provides dry ice in the form of pellets in different packages: polystyrene boxes, plastic bags or insulated containers. We also offer dry ice-disks that are individually wrapped.

For decades IJsfabriek Strombeek has been a reference in the field of dry ice. Our engineers can help you with all their expertise with the design and testing of the different packages in order to find the most suitable cooling technique.

In the event of the use of dry ice it is important to wear the correct personal protective equipment (PPE) and to follow the safety regulations on the packaging. Dry ice can of course cause burns by touching it.

Advantages

• Dry ice is easy to use
• The extremely cold and stable temperature of -78,5°C makes it ideal for cooling
• It does not require expensive investments in cooling equipment
• It converts immediately from solid form to gas phase which ensures that there is no fluid loss or residue
• The gas released (CO₂) is approximately 1.5 times heavier than air which keeps the surroundings bacteria and germ-free
• Dry ice is not toxic, non-flammable, odourless and tasteless
