Cryovials

Cryogenic vials provide a reliable and efficient solution for long-term storage and sample protection in both sterile and non-sterile ways. Cryovial tubes can preserve samples with liquid nitrogen and are designed to store samples safely and may also be used at general cold-storage temperatures. Most Cyro tubes carry common characteristics as they are made from non-cytotoxic and are pyrogen-free. They are designed with robust construction, secure closures, and alarm systems to protect from leaks, cross-contamination, and unauthorized access. Some cryogenic tubes also carry features, including barcode systems and software integration to assist with sample organization and tracking throughout the lab.

What are cryogenic tubes used for?

Cryogenic tubes are used for the storage and preservation of biological samples at extremely low temperatures, such as in liquid nitrogen (-320.8°F) or ultra-low freezers (-112°F). They are commonly used in laboratories for storing cells, tissues, blood, proteins, DNA, RNA, and other biomolecules.

What are cryo vials made of?

Cryo vials are typically made of polypropylene, a durable, non-reactive, and temperature-resistant plastic. This material is chosen for its ability to withstand extreme temperatures, from cryogenic storage in liquid nitrogen (-196°C) to autoclaving for sterilization.

What volumes do cryovials come in?

Cryovials come in a range of volumes to accommodate different sample storage needs. Common sizes include 0.5 mL, 1.0 mL, 1.5 mL, 2.0 mL, 4.0 mL, and 5.0 mL. These sizes allow for flexibility in storing various quantities of biological materials, such as cells, tissues, or nucleic acids.
