Our Cryogenic storage vials are capable of withstanding ultra-low temperatures for safe, long-term preservation of biological samples. We offer cryogenic vials in volumes ranging from 1.0 mL to 5.0 mL, along with cap inserts and pickers for CryoClear vials to support efficient handling and identification
What are Cryogenic Tubes?
Cryogenic tubes are small, narrow, capped vials used to store biological samples at ultra-low temperatures for extended periods. These cryo tubes are Available in various capacities. These sterile vials feature secure, airtight caps designed to keep samples at excessively low temperatures, down to -180°C with liquid nitrogen.
Made from polypropylene – a chemically-resistant and thermostatic polymer – cryogenic storage vials or cryo tubes are used for various sample storage, including blood, cells, DNA, and even viruses, required in long-term medical research and laboratory operations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the difference between internal thread and external thread cryogenic vials?
Internal thread cryogenic vials have threads located inside the vial opening, allowing the cap to sit flush and save storage space. External thread vials have threads on the outside of the tube, offering easier handling and enhanced sealing.
Can cryogenic vials be stored in liquid nitrogen?
Yes, medical-grade cryogenic storage vials can safely store samples in liquid nitrogen, suitable for vapor-phase storage down to −196°C.
