cryogenic vials
Cryogenic vials are specialized laboratory containers designed to safely store biological materials at extremely low temperatures. These essential tools are engineered with advanced materials that can withstand temperatures as low as -196°C while maintaining sample integrity. The vials feature a secure threaded cap system with silicone gaskets that ensures an airtight seal, preventing sample contamination and evaporation during long-term storage. Made from polypropylene or similar medical-grade materials, these vials demonstrate exceptional chemical resistance and durability. Most models incorporate external threading to minimize the risk of contamination and feature a writing surface for sample identification. The vials come in various sizes, typically ranging from 1.2ml to 5ml, accommodating different storage needs. A key design element is their self-standing capability, which enhances laboratory workflow efficiency. The vials are also equipped with a unique coding system, including numerical markings and color-coded caps, facilitating sample organization and tracking. These containers are specifically designed to withstand rapid temperature changes without compromising structural integrity, making them ideal for both vapor and liquid phase storage in liquid nitrogen.
