The MVE SC & XC Series
Lightweight Sample Storage for Breeders
Are you looking for a long-term storage dewar for semen, embryos or eggs? And do you need a portable, lightweight tank able to store large numbers of straws? If so, the Standard Capacity (SC) and Extra Capacity (XC) series of aluminum dewars could be just what you need.
The SC series offers standard straw capacity with longer hold times, depending on the size of the dewar. Meanwhile, the XC series offers large straw capacities, along with different canister options depending on your inventory management.
Whichever you choose, you can rely on both of these durable units to perform. They’ll provide quality storage for your elite genetics for many years to come, even in the most demanding environments. What’s more, both the SC and XC models offer low liquid nitrogen consumption. This is in addition to some innovative design features that offer extra security for your samples.

Extra Protection for Your Valuable Samples
For greater peace of mind, the XC-20 model includes two new, innovative design features. Both have been created to offer extra security for your elite genetics:
-
Bend Don't Break™ (Patent Pending)
This redesigned top head can absorb G-force damage to the neck area of the dewar. This minimizes the chance of product loss through mishandling and during transportation.
-
Semen Safe™
This composite neck is 20% stronger than the previous design. It’s been developed specifically to minimize damage and prevent semen loss during transit or because of mishandling.
Easy In, Easy Out
The unique spider design of the MVE SC & XC series means you can insert and retrieve your samples with ease. This helps you save valuable time – and avoid potential mishaps – while you move your samples or straws into and out of the unit.
