Not all cryogenic tubes are created equal. We've designed ours to address the specific challenges labs face daily—from extreme temperature fluctuations to the need for airtight sealing. Let's break down what makes our tubes stand out:
Engineered for Extreme Conditions
Our tubes are made from medical-grade polypropylene (PP), a material chosen for its exceptional cold resistance and chemical stability. Unlike cheaper plastics that become brittle at low temperatures, PP maintains its integrity even when submerged in liquid nitrogen at -196°C. This means you can freeze, thaw, and refreeze samples without worrying about cracks or leaks—critical for long-term storage projects.
Leak-Proof Design You CanTrust
Nothing frustrates lab teams more than discovering a leak in a storage rack. That's why every tube we produce features a silicone gasket seal paired with a screw-top closure. The gasket creates a tight, airtight barrier that prevents liquid nitrogen ingress and sample contamination. We've tested these seals rigorously: tubes are inverted, shaken, and stored for 72 hours at -196°C before leaving our facility—so you can trust them to hold when your samples are on the line.
Sterile, Ready-to-Use, and Consistent
Time is precious in the lab, which is why our cryogenic tubes arrive pre-sterilized via gamma irradiation—no extra cleaning or autoclaving required. Each batch undergoes strict quality checks to ensure sterility levels meet ISO 11137 standards, with a sterility assurance level (SAL) of 10⁻⁶. Plus, our automated production lines ensure consistent wall thickness and dimensions, so tubes stack neatly in storage racks and fit standard cryogenic boxes without jamming or misalignment.
