Frequently asked questions
Does the external thread design help prevent contamination?
Yes, the external thread design is specifically engineered to significantly reduce the risk of aerosol contamination. Unlike internal threading, which can trap biological matter in grooves, the external design ensures a cleaner seal and safer sample handling.
Is the interior design optimized for sample extraction?
Absolutely. The vial features straight vertical interior walls with no internal shoulders. This design choice maximizes usable volume and creates a wide, unobstructed opening, making it effortless to process and extract your samples.
Can these vials withstand extreme cryogenic temperatures?
These vials are robustly engineered for long-term storage in vapor phase liquid nitrogen environments. They are rated for temperatures down to -195°C (-320°F), making them highly reliable for sensitive biological preservation.
Are these vials suitable for direct liquid nitrogen immersion?
No, these vials are not recommended for direct immersion in liquid nitrogen or other liquified gases. They are designed specifically for vapor phase storage to maintain sample integrity.
Is the material quality durable for clinical use?
The vials are constructed from high-grade PPCO (Polypropylene Copolymer), paired with a polyethylene screw cap. This material selection ensures:
- High clarity for easy visual inspection.
- Robust durability to handle standard laboratory cooling and handling processes.
Does the cap design allow for easy manual handling?
Yes, the polyethylene screw cap features a textured, ribbed grip. This is designed to provide excellent manual control, making it easier to tighten or remove the cap securely even when wearing lab gloves.
Are these vials stable when placed on a benchtop?
Yes, these are free-standing vials. The base is designed to sit securely upright on lab benches and inside standard storage racks without the need for additional support stands.
What types of specimens are these vials best for?
These vials are highly versatile and recommended for a variety of critical biological materials, including:
- Cell cultures
- Blood samples
- Serum
- Sperm specimens
Are these containers provided in a sterile condition?
Yes, all units are provided sterile right out of the box, ensuring they are ready for immediate use in controlled clinical and research environments.
Is the vial compatible with standard cold storage systems?
Yes, they are designed for seamless integration into standard cryogenic storage systems. Their compact, cylindrical geometry is perfectly suited for use with typical cold storage racking and inventory management labeling systems.
