EIGHT VERSIONS

CryoSure® vials are recommended for storing cell cultures, blood/serum, sperm, and other biological specimens at vapor-phase* liquid nitrogen temperatures (-320°F/-195°C). CryoSure vials are available in 0.4 ml round-bottom; 1.0 ml & 1.5 ml conical; and 0.4, 1.0, 1.5, & 3.5 ml free-standing versions. The 0.4 ml vials are the smallest cryogenic vials available and help to utilize valuable freezer space more efficiently.

Our new 2.5 ml large I.D. wide-mouth vials (photo at right above; not to scale) facilitate storage of tissue specimens that are too large for conventional cryogenic vials.

Our Freestanding vials feature unique octagonal bases that lock into specially designed CryoSure processing trays for easy one-handed capping and uncapping. Conical/curved bottoms ensure maximum sample retrieval.

*Evergreen does not recommend the use of CryoSure vials for immersion in liquid nitrogen or any other liquified gases. Immersion in liquid nitrogen may cause leakage with subsequent danger of rapid pressure build-up and/or explosion when returned to room temperature. Please use CryoSure vials in the vapor phase only.

EXTERNAL THREADS

All CryoSure vials have external-thread design which makes them less susceptible to aerosol contamination than internal-thread vials. The precise-fitting Acme threads are also less likely to jump and have smoother engagement than ordinary 60° threads.

ULTRA-CLEAR POLYPROPYLENE MATERIAL

The specailly selected copolymer used in CryoSure vials is nearly transparent and provides superior tensile strength and resistance to gamma radiation sterilization.

EASY IDENTIFICATION

The larger vial sizes feature permanent molded-in marking areas for labeling and volume graduations distinctly molded every 0.5 ml. The smallest vials have molded-in fill lines at the 0.4 ml level.

COLOR-CODED LEAK-PROOF CAPS

CryoSure polyethylene screwcaps feature a molded-in sealing ring for a rim seal that provides leakproof closure without using a silicone gasket. Evergreen pioneered rim-seal caps in 1975. We have found that properly designed rim-sealing rings are extremely effective in sealing vials with diameters of 40 mm or less. With CryoSure vials and our new MST™ tubes, sealing efficacy is no less than 99.9%. Caps are available in natural, green, red, blue, yellow, orange, lavender and white.

LARGE OPENINGS

Straight vertical inside walls with no shoulder produce a large accessible opening which makes processing and retrieval of samples convenient. The new 2.5 ml vial features a 0.57" (1.4 cm) diameter opening. This vial is especially designed for storing tissue specimens that are too large for conventional cryogenic vials.

FREEZER BOXES

Specially designed freezer boxes are available in polycarbonate for 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 3.5, and 4.0 ml vials. Cardboard freezer boxes are available for 0.4 ml and 2.5 ml wide-mouth vials.

CONVENIENT PACKAGING

Sterile vials with caps are packaged in 500-count quantities. Non-sterile vials with caps are packaged in 200- or 1000-count quantities. Caps in 200-count quantities are available in eight colors to facilitate color-coded processing and storage.

 
 

OCTAGONAL BASES

All free-standing CryoSure vials have unique octagonal bases that lock into specially designed CryoSure processing trays for easy one-handed capping and uncapping. Conical/curved-bottom interiors in both free-standing and standard vials ensure maximum sample retrieval.

 

EIGHT CAP COLORS

Caps for 0.4 ml, 1.0 ml, 1.5 ml, and 3.5 ml CryoSure vials are available in natural, green, red, blue, yellow, orange, lavender and white.
