Here are some of the typical uses and features of Cryo Vials made of polypropylene:
- Cryogenic Storage: Cryo vials are specifically designed for storage in ultra-low-temperature environments, such as liquid nitrogen (-196°C/-321°F) or deep freezers (-80°C/-112°F). Polypropylene is a material that can withstand these extreme temperatures without becoming brittle or deforming.
- Biological Sample Preservation: These vials are used to store biological samples for long-term preservation. Common applications include the storage of cell cultures, tissues, blood, serum, and genetic material.
- Secure Sealing: Cryo vials typically come with screw caps or other secure sealing mechanisms to ensure a tight and reliable seal. This prevents the leakage of samples and protects them from contamination.
- Graduations and Labeling: Many cryo vials have graduations or labeling areas on the vial itself to allow for easy identification and tracking of samples.
- Color-Coding: Some cryo vials come in different colors, which can be used for sample organization and quick visual identification.
- Autoclavable: Polypropylene cryo vials are often autoclavable, allowing for sterilization before use.
- Durability: Polypropylene is a durable material that resists cracking and breaking, ensuring the integrity of the samples during storage.
- Wide Range of Sizes: Cryo vials are available in various sizes to accommodate different sample volumes, from small microliter volumes to larger capacities.
