Cryovials
Cryovials are designed for the secure storage of biological samples at ultra-low temperatures in laboratory, clinical, and research environments. Commonly used for cell storage, biobanking, and long-term sample preservation, cryovials are manufactured from high-quality polypropylene to withstand freezing conditions while maintaining sample integrity. Available in multiple volumes and configurations, including internal and external thread designs, cryovials provide reliable sealing, leak resistance, and compatibility with standard cryogenic storage systems.
Selecting Cryovials for Your Workflow
Choosing the right cryovial is essential for protecting samples, preventing contamination, and ensuring performance under extreme storage conditions.
Temperature resistance:
Cryovials are designed for ultra-low temperature storage, including mechanical freezers and vapor-phase liquid nitrogen environments.
Thread type (internal vs. external):
External thread cryovials reduce contamination risk by minimizing contact with the sample, while internal thread vials offer a more compact design.
Material:
Polypropylene construction provides durability, chemical resistance, and stability at low temperatures.
Seal integrity:
Secure caps, often with O-ring or gasket designs, help prevent leakage and protect samples during storage and transport.
Volume options:
Available in multiple sizes to support a variety of storage needs and sample volumes.
Graduations and labeling:
Clear markings and writable surfaces allow for accurate identification and tracking of stored samples.
Compatibility:
Designed to fit standard cryo boxes, racks, and storage systems for efficient organization.
For most laboratory and biobanking applications, high-quality cryovials with secure sealing and clear labeling provide reliable performance for long-term sample storage.
