Our company is a gas and energy company. We would like to introduce industrial air separation gases "oxygen, nitrogen, and argon" that are separated from the air. 【1. Nitrogen Gas】 It makes up about 80% of the air and has the characteristics of being a liquid at -196°C and being an inert gas. It is widely used for purposes such as freezing food, preventing oxidation, and cooling metals. 【2. Oxygen Gas】 It has the property of supporting combustion and contributes to high-temperature combustion and the maintenance of life in organisms. Applications include steelmaking, which requires time reduction and environmental improvement, and aquaculture, which requires high-concentration oxygen water. 【3. Argon Gas】 It is an inert gas that makes up just under 1% of the air. Because it remains inert even at high temperatures, it is used as a filling gas in fluorescent lamps. In recent years, it has also been registered as a food additive, and it is becoming a gas of great interest, including its use as a filling gas for food.

Cryogenic Storage Container LABS Series - Vapor phase storage of liquid nitrogen - Long-term storage and large-scale storage * Smaller sizes are also available for proposal. We also offer automatic supply equipment for liquid nitrogen! Please contact us if you have any requests, such as rentals!

The "Dry Shipper" handled by Iwatani Sangyo is a container designed for the transportation and storage of cells, compatible with liquid nitrogen (cryogenic temperatures). It is constructed in accordance with international air transport regulations, so air transport is not an issue. Additionally, the transport case absorbs shocks during transportation, allowing for safe transport of samples. We have a wide range of products available, so we can make suggestions based on your specific needs. 【Dry Shipper Product Lineup】 ■ CX Series: Sample transport containers ■ LS Series: Rack-type cryopreservation containers ■ XT Series: Long-term storage containers ■ HC Series: Containers for large sample storage ■ K Series: Containers for bulk sample storage We can also propose temperature loggers for temperature monitoring. If you have any requests for rentals or other inquiries, please contact us!

Proposal for monitoring the storage and transportation of cells! You can check the storage and transportation status on the cloud at any time. The alert function for abnormal situations is also well-equipped. It complies with Part 11, ensuring reliable data management. We offer a subscription contract that includes the main unit, cloud usage fees, and communication fees! A free trial is also available! *For more details, please refer to the catalog or feel free to contact us.*

Vaccines and pharmaceuticals need to be taken in and out of refrigerated boxes multiple times at the medical institutions to which they are transported. However, with conventional refrigerated boxes, it was necessary to avoid the dry ice covering the products during the handling process, which posed challenges in terms of operational and safety aspects. Our company has focused on this issue and developed a structure that allows operators to take products in and out of the refrigerated box without touching the dry ice. Additionally, we plan to release a compact type that can maintain temperature for seven days. <Features> The biggest feature is that the storage area for pharmaceuticals adopts a drawer system, making it easier to handle at medical institutions. Since strict temperature management and location information management are often required during transportation and storage, we also propose a temperature management solution that includes a temperature logger, allowing constant monitoring of the temperature and location information inside the refrigerated box via smartphone or computer, tailored to customer needs.

A battery-powered oxygen concentration meter that allows for approximately two weeks of concentration monitoring even during disasters such as earthquakes. Additionally, inspection methods can be selected according to the customer's situation, including traditional manufacturer visits or sending the device for inspection. <Features> - Easy-to-understand voice alarm - Slide lighting during alarms - Selectable power supply (AC100V, DC24V, dry batteries) * A separate purchase of a dry battery unit is required for dry battery specifications. - Automatic backup power allows monitoring for over two weeks (approximately 350 hours) during power outages * At 20°C, with no alarms, and with the backlight turned off * The backup function is not available for dry battery specifications. - Voice notifications for sensor replacement timing and malfunctions - Simple installation is possible with a 100V outlet or dry battery specifications.

When using liquid nitrogen (hereinafter referred to as LN2), it is mostly utilized under atmospheric pressure. However, since LN2 is at an extremely low temperature of -196°C under atmospheric pressure, it is stored and transported using vacuum insulated containers. When using LN2, it must be extracted from these pressure vessels. The "LN2 Liquid Extraction Device" introduced here allows for the extraction of LN2 with "high efficiency" and "low pressure." 【Features】 ● Enables high-efficiency liquid extraction ⇒ Reduction of losses ● Allows for quick liquid extraction ⇒ Improved work efficiency ● Enables low-pressure liquid extraction ⇒ Enhanced safety ● Simple operation (only valve opening and closing) ⇒ Standardization of work 【Examples of Use】 - Small-scale LN2 dispensing into Dewar containers, etc. - Freezing of food - Cooling of metals - LN2 applications in research facilities - Medical applications (dermatology, etc.) For more details, please contact us.

Are you facing any of these issues during the freezing, storage, or transportation of important cells? - I want to suppress ice crystal formation due to variations in freezing speed. - I want to stabilize the survival rate after cell recovery. - I want to prevent deterioration caused by frequent opening and closing of containers or inadequate storage conditions. Iwatani is advancing fundamental research to address the challenges anticipated in the freezing, storage, and transportation of cells, leveraging our gas handling technology and know-how. Additionally, we are working on establishing techniques for freezing methods and storage that do not burden the cells, aiming for the industrialization of regenerative medicine. If you have any concerns regarding the freezing, storage, transportation, or thawing of cells, please feel free to contact us. ★ We will be exhibiting at the Regenerative Medicine EXPO Tokyo 2025!
