Challenges in IVF - Dependable supply, safety, and efficiency
The clinic’s head scientist, who had previously worked in the UK and was familiar with Noblegen’s reputation for high‑performance LN₂ generators, needed a solution that would guarantee a stable, high‑purity supply of liquid nitrogen for IVF applications.
In their existing workflow, cryogenic samples were stored in a dedicated room, with each dewar sitting on an individual scale connected to an alarm system. When a vessel's weight dropped below the minimum threshold, staff were alerted to top it up. While this system worked, the team faced several challenges:
- Dependence on external deliveries created vulnerability to delays or supply interruptions.
- Manual handling of heavy dewars across multiple floors increased physical strain and health‑and‑safety risks.
- Time‑consuming logistics took staff away from critical laboratory work.
The clinic required a smoother, safer, and more reliable method of managing their LN₂ supply.
On‑Site Liquid Nitrogen Generation with the Noblegen LN65AC
To meet these needs, the clinic installed a Noblegen LN65AC liquid nitrogen generator on the third floor of their facility. Drawing on the head scientist’s previous positive experience with Noblegen systems, the team selected the LN65AC for its:
- Consistent LN₂ production suitable for IVF storage requirements
- High reliability and low maintenance
- Ability to deliver liquid nitrogen directly where it is needed
- Reduction in dependence on vendors, deliveries, and high logistics costs
With the LN65AC providing a continuous, on‑demand supply, staff can respond instantly when the alarm system signals a dewar nearing its minimum level, without waiting for external refills or having to carry dewars across the building.
