Cryogenic Vials

Economical Non-Sterile Cryogenic Vials

• Various cap colors available
• 95kPa certified for Diagnostic or Infectious use
• DOT and IATA compliant for air shipment
• Graduated in .5 mL increments
• Conical bottom with slotted skirt
• Can be used in vapor phase of liquid nitrogen

Therapak cryogenic vials are ideal for storage or transport of material at extremely low temperatures. The vials have external threads, providing a smooth and uniform inner surface. This eliminates any issues with airborne contamination or sample loss that occasionally results when using internal threaded vials. The screw cap incorporates a molded-in sealing ring which assures a tight leakproof seal.

Therapak's cryogenic vials have successfully passed the 95kPa test. The evaluation consisted of a Hydraulic Pressure Test performed by vacuum method, per ASTM D4991-94 protocol. This testing was performed to meet IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations Part 6.3.5 entitled "Internal Pressure Test". These economically priced cryogenic vials contribute toward "air eligible" standards and therefore should be a common item in clinical trial studies where serum or plasma is collected for frozen shipment to a testing laboratory.

Plastic External Thread Cryogenic Vials

These vials are manufactured from polypropylene to withstand temperatures to -196°C. Vials have a silicone washer for a secure seal. Vials can be color-coded with inserts. All self-standing vials have a special base design allowing them to be locked into the cryogenic rack and tray for single-handed manipulation. Sterile, certified non-pyrogenic.

Plastic Internal Thread Cryogenic Vials

These vials are manufactured from polypropylene to withstand temperatures to -196°C. Vials have a silicone washer or rubber O-ring for a secure seal. Vials can be color-coded with inserts. All self-standing vials have a special base design allowing them to be locked into the cryogenic rack and tray for single-handed manipulation. Sterile, certified non-pyrogenic.

Plastic Cap Inserts for Corning® Cryogenic Vials

Cap inserts provide color-coding for easy sample identification. Inserts are available in resealable bags. Non-sterile. Cap inserts fit all Corning® cryogenic vials except part number 34887.
