Description

A cryo vial is a type of laboratory container used for the preservation of biological or chemical samples at low temperatures, typically below -150°C. Cryo vials are designed to be used in cryogenic storage applications, where the preservation of the sample is of utmost importance.

Cryo vials are typically made of high-quality polypropylene (PP), glass, or other materials that are able to withstand the extreme temperatures required for cryogenic storage. They come in a variety of sizes and capacities and may have features such as labeling areas or external graduations for easy sample measurement.

Cryo vials are equipped with a screw cap or snap cap, which provides a secure and leak-proof seal, preventing sample evaporation and contamination. Some cryo vials may also be designed to be used with specialized cryogenic stoppers, which further enhance the sealing capabilities of the vial.

Cryo vials are widely used in a variety of laboratory applications, including biobanking, tissue preservation, and sample storage for downstream analysis. They are an essential tool for scientists and researchers who need to store samples at low temperatures for extended periods of time.
