Description

Cryo vials, also known as cryogenic vials or storage vials, are specialized containers used for the long-term storage of biological samples at ultra-low temperatures, typically in liquid nitrogen (-196°C) or ultra-low temperature freezers (-80°C). These vials are made of materials such as polypropylene or polyethylene, which can withstand extreme cold temperatures without becoming brittle. Cryo vials often feature a screw cap or O-ring seal to prevent leakage and maintain sample integrity during storage. They come in various sizes and capacities to accommodate different sample volumes and are commonly used in biobanks, research laboratories, and clinical settings for storing cell cultures, tissues, DNA, RNA, and other biological specimens. Cryo vials are essential tools for preserving sample quality and viability over extended periods.
