Hey everyone,
Perhaps there are some OzBargainers that know where to get a 3L dewar from for cheap?
TIA!
Dewar - Liquid Nitrogen Storage

I started at BOC. The gas / liquid prices are good. Forget about equipment sales!
Once I have a Dewar, I'll be visiting BOC.From what I can tell 3L is pretty common but my exposure to commercial laboratories is limited. The last place I visited that stored LN2 had a massive tank.
Is 2L more common? Is there a better size to look for?
Having a smaller dewar translates to more frequent visits to the supplier / inconvenience.
Like I said, it's been a while since I was in a Lab…
No probs. Thanks for your help. :)
3L!
That's quite a significant amount!
Even in Chemistry labs I don't reckon the Dewar size is any more than about 3L max, It's been a while but from memory (and comparing to a milk carton) I'd guess actually not much more than 2L.
I can't imagine you'll find them for purchase from anywhere but Laboratory suppliers, and likely on special order. So immediately you wont be getting any special deal, and nothing from Laboratory Suppliers is ever cheap!
You ought to be able to hire one from BOC gases (along with your purchase of Liquid Nitrogen)
