Basically, we want something along the lines of one Dewar as a one off delivery. We also need a set of gloves to handle the stuff.

£130.00 plus VAT per delivery up to 50 litres for the Nitrogen - £156
£??? for handling gloves. They need to be closed cuff, leather or thick material and preferably elbow length.
£??? for a lock. Probably not a lot I (Oni) would say.
£??? for non-sealable thermos flasks (large and small) for the carrying of the nitrogen.

http://stores.biochem.uiowa.edu/Pages/ln2msds.htm - current safety handling
Secure a supplier for the correct gloves: http://www.boconline.co.uk/en/products-and-supply/cryogenic-equipment/cryogenic-protection/hand-protection/hand-protection.html
At present, it is estimated that 50L of LN2 will covert to 30.5 cubic metres; around 5% of the volume of floor one.
Check if the Dewar still has a functional vacuum
Wheel upstairs and lock into place
Liaise with Mansfield and get a date set
Sort out a training session for these wanting to use it
Place safety notices on cage

Running total: £180

Approximate target: £156 minimum, £200+ with thermos flasks, £300 + with safety gloves

Will put in for a more regular supply once orginal targert has been reached

Stretch Goal Running total: £100

Approximate target: £200
