Check capacity and fill test for dry shipper at URI #71

Closed AHuffmyer closed 6 months ago

AHuffmyer commented 7 months ago

Hi Jill! When you have time, could you please let me know what size of dry shippers we have available at URI? I will be needing to transport samples from URI in prep for my Australia trip. I have 2-3 tube boxes that will need to be transported. Do we have a small/medium dry shipper that could fit a couple boxes?

If so, could you please do a test fill to make sure it holds temperature as expected?

AHuffmyer commented 7 months ago

Will need enough capacity for ~150 tubes

AHuffmyer commented 7 months ago

Small dry shippers will fit this capacity. Jill will do a test fill.

AHuffmyer commented 7 months ago

@JillAshey please post any updates here!

The lab was out of LN2, so placed an order for a new LN2 cyclinder, which should be delivered by the end of the week. Once it's delivered, I will do a test fill!

AHuffmyer commented 7 months ago

Dry shipper filled at 10:30 by AH and HP, AH will monitor the rest of the day

Dry shipper still cold and filled with LN2 at 13:15

Dry shipper still cold when Ariana charged it to travel. @AHuffmyer can you check it daily until Sam fills it to see how long it last from the time we emptied all liquid yesterday 3/30/24?

AHuffmyer commented 7 months ago

I will not be able to check the shipper before I leave for Australia because I cannot be on UW campus this week. I will monitor the shipper after I get to Australia to document how long it remains cold after being charged and will post updates here!

Ariana was able to get this filled and transported to Australia. We will need to do another check in the lab of total time it holds LN2 after it is back

AHuffmyer commented 6 months ago

I will check daily while here in Australia and will be able to get a time range that it hold LN2 while I am here. Completed charge on April 8th at 08:00 Pacific Time.

AHuffmyer commented 6 months ago

Dry shipper still cold on April 17 @ 8:30am Australia Time (8 days since fill).

Note that max capacity for tubes in a mesh bag, carefully packed to maximize space = ~130 tubes.

AHuffmyer commented 6 months ago

Dry shipper STILL cold at 16:30 on April 24 Australia Time.

Currently at 15 days after fill.
