[QUOTE="moses388, post: 1709036, member: 27368"] That 10-liter dewar will be a headache. You posted a link for the product. At the bottom of the page are customer reviews. Here's part of the review by Repco: [I]"Canisters are only half height: about 5" to 6"...will not work with how we store semen in our market: in full height canes of about 11" tall"[/I] Here are some photos to explain what Repco is talking about.
