cryogenic storage vials
Cryogenic storage vials represent essential laboratory equipment designed for the secure preservation of biological materials at extremely low temperatures. These specialized containers are engineered to maintain sample integrity in temperatures as low as -196°C in liquid nitrogen environments. The vials feature advanced materials and construction techniques, including medical-grade polypropylene bodies and secure threaded caps with silicone gaskets, ensuring a reliable seal against temperature fluctuations and contamination. Their innovative design incorporates features such as graduations for precise volume measurement, frosted writing surfaces for sample identification, and compatibility with standard cryogenic storage systems. These vials are available in various sizes, typically ranging from 1.2mL to 5mL, accommodating different sample volumes and storage requirements. The materials used in their construction are specifically chosen for their ability to withstand rapid temperature changes without compromising structural integrity, preventing sample loss or degradation. They are extensively used in biomedical research, cell culture laboratories, pharmaceutical development, and clinical settings for storing various biological materials including cell lines, blood components, DNA samples, and valuable research specimens.
