Phase 0- Understanding the Landscape & Ergonomics

What is a Cryogenic Freezer? This kind of freezer uses extremely cold temperatures (Liquid Nitrogen or LN2), to freeze medical samples such as cells, blood or organ tissue and keep them at low temperatures. This Cryogenic filling station would be used to help doctors and medical staff more easily transport samples to and from the correct destinations.

Liquid Nitrogen (LN2) is . . . .

Phase 1: Underlays used for Sketch Development.

Basic geometry keeps the Bench Top model at the same height while in Free Standing configuration. Current schematic raises the CryoPod level just over 3.25 inches from previous position. (82.5mm)

Features: • CryoPod Visibility Window • Dual CryoPod Storage • Locking Casters
