Abstract (en)

[origin: WO02053967A1] A shipping container (1) with an outer shipping container shell (3) and a support assembly for holding a dewar vessel (2) within the outer shipping container shell and providing impact and vibration resistance to the dewar vessel (3). The dewar vessel (3) has an inner vessel (13) that holds a specimen chamber (70) and plastic foam (30) between its inner wall and the specimen chamber. The specimen chamber (70) allows liquid cryogen to pass through it into the plastic foam (30), allows liquid cryogen in a vapor phase liquid state to pass from the plastic foam (30) into it, and acts as a filter to prevent particles or fragments of the plastic foam form from entering into it.
