How to Choose the Right Cryotubes for Your Lab
Cryogenic tubes, also known as cryogenic tubes or cryogenic bottles, are essential tools for laboratories to store various biological samples at extremely low temperatures. These tubes are designed to withstand freezing temperatures (typically ranging from -80°C to -196°C) without compromising sample integrity. With so many options on the market, it can be overwhelming to choose the right cryovial for your specific laboratory needs. In this article, we will explore the factors to consider when choosing cryovials, and focus on the characteristics of screw cap cryovials in the laboratory of Suzhou Ace Biomedical Technology Co., Ltd.
When choosing the right cryovial, one of the first considerations should be capacity. Cryotubes are available in a variety of sizes, from 0.5ml to 5ml, depending on the number of samples that need to be stored. It is important to select tubes with sufficient capacity to hold the sample, ensuring that they are not overfilled or underfilled. Suzhou Ace Biomedical Technology Co., Ltd. provides 0.5ml, 1.5ml, 2.0ml cryovials to meet the needs of different laboratories.
Another critical factor to consider is the design of the cryovial. There are two main designs on the market – tapered bottom and free standing. Conical bottom tubes are ideal for applications requiring centrifugation as they fit perfectly with the centrifuge rotor. On the other hand, free-standing cryovials have a flat bottom, making them more stable and easier to handle during sample preparation. Suzhou Ace Biomedical Technology Co., Ltd. offers cone-bottom and free-standing design options, enabling laboratories to choose the most suitable design for their specific needs.
The material of the cryovial is also an important consideration. These tubes are usually made from medical grade polypropylene (PP) as it is a highly durable and chemically resistant material. PP cryovials can be repeatedly frozen and thawed without compromising their structural integrity. This ensures that samples stored in these tubes remain safe and free from contamination throughout the freezing and thawing process. Suzhou Ace Biomedical Technology Co., Ltd.’s cryovials are made of medical grade polypropylene, ensuring enhanced durability and reliability.
Additionally, it is critical to choose cryovials that provide a reliable seal. The screw cap design of the cryovials provides a secure and leak-free seal, preventing any contamination or loss of stored samples. The cryovials of Suzhou Ace Biomedical Technology Co., Ltd. are equipped with screw caps to ensure a tight and reliable seal. Additionally, the outer cover design reduces the possibility of contamination during sample handling, providing an additional layer of protection for valuable laboratory samples.
Universal thread is another important feature to consider when choosing cryovials. The universal thread allows these tubes to be used with a variety of standard cryogenic storage systems, making them compatible with a variety of sample storage applications. The cryovials provided by Suzhou Ace Biomedical Technology Co., Ltd. feature a universal thread design, ensuring easy integration into existing laboratory protocols and setups.
In summary, choosing the right cryovial for your laboratory is critical to ensuring sample integrity and longevity. Factors such as volume capacity, design, material, seal reliability and thread compatibility should be considered. Suzhou Ace Biomedical Technology Co., Ltd.’s laboratory screw-cap cryovials are available in a variety of options, including different volumes, tapered or free-standing designs, and universal threads. These high-quality cryovials made of medical-grade polypropylene provide a safe and secure storage solution for valuable laboratory samples.
