Hi, 

I have little experience working with Dry Ice.

Dry ice for 10 hours will not survive. You will be required to replenish it.

Thanks

Dear hygienic,

 

Not surprisingly, it depends on the container around it. :smile:

For example suitable amounts of dry ice are routinely used in overnight (or longer) air freight shipments of pre-fozen samples using polystyrene boxes having no significant dead spaces.
