Product Description
Self Standing 5.0ml Cryogenic Vial
- Made from special polypropylene (PP), these 5.0ml cryogenic vials can withstand temperatures ranging from 121°C to -196 °C. Every tube comes with a medical class silicone O-ring for leak-proof sealing. They are pre-sterilized, nonpyrogenic (Endotoxin-free), and completely DNase and RNase free.
Cat.#NAC0057 Package 50PCS/bagand 20bags/carton, (50 x 20/carton, total 1000PCS per carton).
Enhanced Sample Security and IdentificationFeaturing a secure screw cap with a silicone O-ring, these cryovials guarantee leak-proof sealing under extreme conditions. Their color-coded cap inserts make sample organization and identification simple, reducing the risk of handling errors in busy laboratories. With graduation marks for quick volume estimation and transparent construction, you can monitor and retrieve your samples with complete confidence.
Versatile Storage for Critical ApplicationsDesigned for the preservation and transport of biological samples, these self-standing vials accommodate ultra-low temperatures, surviving direct immersion in liquid nitrogen. Their robust polypropylene composition ensures compatibility with a vast array of chemicals and organic solvents, making them suitable for a variety of research, clinical, and industrial settings. Autoclave-ready, they fulfill stringent sterility requirements when needed.
FAQs of Self Standing 5.0ml Cryogenic Vial:
Q: How should the Self Standing 5.0ml Cryogenic Vial be sterilized before use?
A: The vial is supplied non-sterile but can be sterilized by autoclaving at 121C. Ensure the caps are slightly loosened during autoclaving to avoid pressure buildup and effectively sterilize both the vial and silicone gasket.
Q: What is the process for using these cryogenic vials with biological samples?
A: Begin by labeling the vial, then fill it up to 5.0 ml using the printed graduation marks for guidance. Seal tightly with the screw cap to ensure the silicone gasket provides a leak-proof closure. The vial can then be safely stored or transported at temperatures ranging from -196C to +121C.
Q: Where can these cryogenic vials be utilized effectively?
A: These vials are ideal in research laboratories, clinical settings, biobanks, and industrial facilities requiring safe cryopreservation and transport of biological samples such as cells, tissues, and reagents under ultra-low temperature conditions.
Q: What are the benefits of the self-standing feature in these vials?
A: The self-standing base provides stability during sample loading and retrieval, minimizing the risk of spills or contamination on bench tops or inside freezers, improving laboratory workflow efficiency.
Q: How does the color-coded cap insert enhance sample organization?
A: Color-coded cap inserts allow for easy and rapid differentiation between samples, simplifying inventory management and reducing the risk of mix-ups, especially when dealing with multiple vials at once.
Q: What chemicals and solvents are compatible with these vials?
A: Made from high-grade polypropylene, the vials offer excellent resistance to most commonly used chemicals and organic solvents, making them suitable for a wide range of applications including molecular biology and analytical chemistry.
