Protecting Your Valuable Samples with Precision-engineered Plastic Containers
For researchers and lab professionals, few tools are as essential as the cryo tube. These small plastic containers are the unsung heroes of the lab, tasked with safeguarding some of the most valuable assets in science—biological samples that hold the key to breakthroughs in medicine, genetics, and biotechnology. Whether it's a rare cell line, a batch of patient-derived DNA, or a vial of stem cells, the difference between success and failure often comes down to the quality of the tube holding it.
But not all cryo tubes are created equal. Inferior containers can lead to sample contamination, leakage, or degradation—costing labs time, resources, and potentially years of research progress. That's why choosing a trusted partner for your cryo storage needs isn't just a purchase decision; it's an investment in the integrity of your work. As a dedicated cryogenic tubes manufacturer with decades of experience, we understand the stakes, and we've built our reputation on delivering containers that researchers can rely on, day in and day out.
When it comes to storing nucleic acids—DNA, RNA, or other genetic materials—one of the biggest threats is enzymatic contamination. Even trace amounts of DNases or RNases can break down these fragile molecules, rendering samples useless. That's where DNase/RNase-free cryo tubes become non-negotiable.
Our tubes are engineered from the ground up to eliminate this risk. Every step of the manufacturing process is designed to prevent enzymatic contamination, from the raw materials we select to the final packaging. We start with high-purity polypropylene (PP), a material naturally resistant to chemical leaching and compatible with the most sensitive samples. Then, we subject each batch to rigorous cleaning and decontamination protocols, ensuring no residual enzymes or impurities make their way into the final product.
Key Benefit: For labs working with PCR, sequencing, or gene expression studies, DNase/RNase-free certification isn't just a "nice-to-have"—it's a requirement. Our tubes give you the confidence that what you store today will still be intact when you need to use it tomorrow.
Storing samples in liquid nitrogen at -196°C isn't for the faint of heart. It requires containers that can withstand rapid temperature changes, extreme cold, and the physical stress of repeated use. Our cryo tubes are built to handle these challenges, with features designed by scientists, for scientists.
Whether your samples are stored in a -80°C freezer or submerged in liquid nitrogen, our tubes won't crack, warp, or fail. The PP material we use is selected for its exceptional low-temperature performance, maintaining structural integrity even after hundreds of freeze-thaw cycles. This durability is critical for long-term storage projects, where samples might be archived for months or even years.
There's nothing more frustrating than opening a storage tank to find a broken seal and a contaminated sample. That's why we've invested heavily in perfecting our leak-proof design. Each tube comes with a silicone gasket integrated into the cap, creating a tight seal that prevents liquid nitrogen ingress and sample leakage. The screw-top closure is engineered for easy handling—even with gloves on—while ensuring a secure fit every time.
Contamination risk doesn't end with enzymes. Bacteria, fungi, and other microbes can also compromise samples. Our cryo tubes undergo thorough sterilization using either ethylene oxide (EO) or gamma radiation, two methods trusted in the medical and pharmaceutical industries for their ability to eliminate pathogens without leaving residues. Each batch is tested for sterility before leaving our facility, and we provide a certificate of analysis (COA) for full traceability.

In the world of medical and pharmaceutical packaging, certifications aren't just badges—they're proof of a commitment to quality. As an iso9001 certified packaging factory, we adhere to strict international standards for quality management, ensuring consistency in every tube we produce. But we don't stop there: our manufacturing facilities also include a dust-free gmp compliant workshop, where air quality, personnel protocols, and equipment maintenance are held to the same standards as pharmaceutical production facilities.
Our quality control process starts the moment raw materials arrive and continues until the final product is packaged. Each batch of PP resin is tested for purity and consistency. During production, samples are pulled at random to check for defects like uneven walls or weak seals. After sterilization, tubes are inspected for sterility and enzymatic contamination using third-party lab testing. This rigorous approach means that when you order from us, you're getting a product that meets or exceeds industry standards—every single time.
Every lab has its own workflow, its own samples, and its own storage requirements. That's why we don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. As a custom mold design for plastic bottles and containers specialist, we offer a range of customization options to make our cryo tubes work for you, not the other way around.
Need a 3ml cryo tube with a unique cap design? Or a 0.2ml microtube for tiny samples? Our in-house mold design team can turn your specifications into reality. We support 3D (3D drawing customization) and offer free mold testing to ensure the final product matches your needs. Whether you're looking for conical bottoms for easier pipetting or external threads for stackability, we can adjust the design to fit your workflow.
Keeping track of samples is a challenge in any lab. That's why we offer options like writable surfaces, barcoded labels, or even custom embossed logos for easy identification. Our writable areas are designed to withstand freezer storage, so your labels won't smudge or fade over time. For high-throughput labs, we can integrate with your existing tracking systems, ensuring seamless sample management from collection to storage.
Pro Tip: Many of our clients opt for color-coded caps to differentiate sample types at a glance. Whether you need red for RNA, blue for DNA, or custom colors to match your lab's branding, we can produce caps in any Pantone shade.
A great cryo tube does more than just store samples—it fits into your daily routine, making your work easier and more efficient. Here are just a few ways our tubes support labs across the globe:
For biobanks managing thousands of samples, consistency is key. Our tubes are designed to fit standard storage racks and automated systems, reducing the risk of human error during handling. The uniform dimensions ensure easy stacking and retrieval, even in large-scale facilities.
In clinical settings, sample integrity directly impacts patient outcomes. Our DNase/RNase-free tubes are ideal for storing biopsy samples, blood derivatives, and other diagnostic materials, ensuring that the results of tests like PCR or next-gen sequencing are accurate and reliable.
Drug development is a lengthy, expensive process, and sample loss can derail timelines and budgets. Our cryo tubes are used by pharmaceutical companies to store cell lines, viral vectors, and drug candidates, providing the stability needed for long-term projects.
In today's world, scientific progress can't come at the expense of the planet. That's why we're committed to sustainable plastic packaging solutions that reduce waste and minimize environmental impact. Our cryo tubes are made from recyclable PP, and we've optimized our manufacturing processes to cut down on energy use and material waste.
We also offer bulk packaging options to reduce the amount of plastic used in secondary packaging, and our mold designs are engineered to maximize material efficiency—using just enough plastic to ensure strength without excess. For labs looking to reduce their carbon footprint, we're proud to offer a product that delivers on both performance and sustainability.
