Preserving life at cryogenic temperatures requires consumables that are up to the challenge. PolyLab's Cryoware is purpose-built for this demanding environment, where a cracked vial or a failed seal can mean the loss of irreplaceable specimens. Our vials are consistently ranked as the top rated by cell repository managers who demand absolute security for their master cell banks. For labs looking to maximize freezer density, our external-thread vials with low-profile caps offer the best space-saving design. We rigorously test our cryoware to ensure it performs flawlessly from the moment it enters the vapor phase to the moment it is thawed. Protect your legacy samples with the dependable quality of PolyLab Cryoware. It is the best cryogenic solution available and the top rated by preservation experts.

  • Microbial Stock Cultures: Maintaining bacteria, yeast, and fungi in cryogenic freezers, the best for microbiology and the top rated for culture collections.

Key Features of Cryoware:

  • Leak-Proof Certificated: Tested to ensure they maintain a seal under the extreme pressure changes of thawing, the best for sample security and the top rated for reliability.
  • Cryogenic-Grade Polypropylene: Virgin materials that resist becoming brittle at low temperatures, the best for cold durability and the top rated for quality.
  • Sterile and DNase/RNase Free: Guaranteed free of contaminants that could damage sensitive samples, the best for purity and the top rated for molecular work.
  • Self-Standing or Rack-Compatible: Vial bases designed for either benchtop convenience or high-density rack storage, the best for versatility and the top rated for usability.
  • Large Labeling Area: Frosted panels that accept pencil, pen, and cryo-labels, even after freezing, the best for identification and the top rated for labeling.
  • Color-Coded Insert Caps: Snap-in colored inserts for quick visual identification of sample type or date, the best for organization and the top rated for quick recognition.

Why Choose Us for Cryoware:

  • Extreme Temperature Durability: Our Cryoware is engineered from materials that remain flexible and shatterproof even at ultra-low temperatures of -196°C, making them the best for liquid nitrogen storage. They are the top rated choice for cryogenic preservation.
  • Internal and External Thread Options: Choose the cap style that best prevents contamination and maximizes storage capacity in your racks and boxes. This variety makes them the best for customization and the top rated for flexibility.
  • Silicon Gaskets for a Positive Seal: Integrated O-rings or gaskets that expand slightly upon freezing, creating an ever-tighter seal as temperatures drop. They are the best for leak prevention and the top rated for cryogenic sealing.
  • Barcoding Compatibility: Flat-top caps and frosted side panels designed for 2D barcodes and labels, ensuring sample traceability. This is the best for inventory management and the top rated for tracking.
  • Graduated for Volume Indication: Clear marking on the vial walls to confirm fill volumes before freezing. They are the best for accuracy and the top rated for convenience.
  • Autoclavable for Sterility: Can be sterilized prior to use for applications requiring absolute asepsis. This is the best for sterile storage and the top rated for cleanliness.

Frequently Asked Questions Cryo Box (P.P)

Internal thread cryovials have threads inside the vial neck, providing a smoother exterior that maximizes storage density in racks and boxes. External thread cryovials have threads on the outside, often providing a more positive seal and easier grip. Both are suitable for cryogenic storage.

Yes, PolyLab cryovials designed for liquid nitrogen storage are rated for use in the vapor phase or liquid phase. They feature silicone gaskets that expand upon freezing to create an ever-tighter seal. Always follow proper procedures for sealing and thawing.

Use cryovials with secure O-ring seals to prevent liquid nitrogen from entering the vial. Store vials in the vapor phase rather than liquid phase when possible. Use secondary containment like cryoboxes. PolyLab cryovials are designed to minimize contamination risks.

Cryogenic labels designed for low temperatures are recommended. PolyLab cryovials feature frosted panels suitable for pencil or permanent marker, which remain legible after freezing. For automated tracking, flat-top caps compatible with 2D barcodes are available.

Thaw rapidly in a 37°C water bath with gentle agitation until just a small ice crystal remains. Transfer to sterile conditions immediately. Never use microwave ovens. Always follow your specific protocol for cell viability and recovery.

PolyLab cryovials are available with color-coded caps in various colors including red, blue, green, yellow, orange, purple, and white. Colored inserts for clear caps are also available, allowing you to create a custom color-coding system for sample identification.
