If you've ever worked in a lab or biobank, you know how critical it is to have cryotubes you can trust. These small containers hold the future of medical research—from cell samples to vaccine batches, from sperm and embryo storage to biobanking for personalized medicine. A single leak or contamination can ruin months of work, not to mention the potential risks to patients. That's why choosing the right cryogenic tubes manufacturer isn't just a business decision; it's a commitment to preserving what matters most.
Located in Dongguan, one of China's most vibrant manufacturing hubs, our factory has been supplying sterile cryotubes to labs and pharmaceutical companies worldwide for over a decade. What sets us apart? Our unwavering focus on quality, compliance, and customer-centric solutions. We're not just another supplier—we're a partner that understands your unique needs, whether you're storing sensitive cell lines or shipping vaccine samples across the globe.
Let's get straight to the point: Our cryotubes are built to perform in the harshest conditions. Here's what makes them stand out:
Sterility You Can Count On: Every batch of our cryotubes goes through rigorous sterilization—either EO (ethylene oxide) or gamma irradiation—ensuring they're free from DNase, RNase, and pyrogens. We don't cut corners here; each tube is tested to meet the strictest medical-grade standards, so you can use them straight out of the box without worrying about contamination.
Leak-Proof Design: Ever had a cryotube leak in liquid nitrogen? It's a nightmare. Our tubes feature a silicone gasket that creates an airtight seal, even at -196°C. The internal or external threads (depending on the model) ensure a secure fit, so you can store your samples with peace of mind.
Durable Material: We use high-quality polypropylene (PP) for our cryotubes. PP is not only resistant to extreme temperatures but also chemical-resistant, so it won't react with your samples. It's also shatterproof, which is a huge plus when handling frozen samples.
Temperature Resistance: Our cryotubes are designed to withstand the ultra-low temperatures of liquid nitrogen (-196°C) and repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Whether you're storing samples for a week or a decade, our tubes will keep them safe.
But don't just take our word for it. Our dust-free GMP compliant workshop ensures that every step of the manufacturing process—from molding to packaging—is done in a controlled environment. No dust, no contaminants, just pure, reliable products.
We know that labs have different requirements, so we offer a wide range of cryotubes to suit every application. Whether you need small 0.5ml tubes for sample aliquots or 5ml tubes for larger batches, we've got you covered. Here's a breakdown of our most popular models:
| Model Number | Volume | Thread Type | Bottom Shape | Sterilization Method | Key Features |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CT-05 | 0.5ml | Internal | Conical | Gamma | Barcoded, Silicone Gasket, DNase/RNase-Free |
| CT-18 | 1.8ml | Internal | Conical/Round | EO/Gamma | Writable Surface, Silicone Gasket, Pyrogen-Free |
| CT-20 | 2ml | External | Round | Gamma | Autoclavable, Barcoded, Leak-Proof |
| CT-50 | 5ml | External | Conical | EO | Large Volume, Shatterproof, Chemical Resistant |
| CT-10 | 10ml | External | Round | Gamma | Custom Logo Option, Silicone Gasket, Sterile |
But wait—if none of these models fit your needs, we can create custom cryotubes just for you. Our custom mold design for plastic bottles (and cryotubes) allows us to tailor every aspect of the tube to your specifications: size, shape, thread type, even color. Whether you need a unique bottom shape for easier sample retrieval or a custom logo for branding, our team of engineers will work with you to bring your vision to life. We start with a detailed consultation to understand your requirements, then create a 3D model for your approval before moving to mold production. And yes, we offer free test molds so you can validate the design before placing a full order.
We also offer additional features like barcoded tubes (for easy tracking) and writable surfaces (so you can label your samples quickly). For labs that need to comply with regulatory standards, our barcoded tubes are a game-changer—they make it easy to track samples from collection to storage, reducing the risk of human error. Our writable surfaces are designed to withstand freezer temperatures, so your labels won't smudge or fade over time.
At our core, we're a company that believes in doing things right. That's why we're an iso9001 certified packaging factory—our quality management system ensures that every product meets the highest standards. But certification is just the start; here's how we maintain excellence:
Our workshop is designed to meet GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) standards. It's a Class 100,000 dust-free environment, which means that the air is filtered to remove 99.97% of particles larger than 0.5 microns. Every employee wears protective gear—hairnets, masks, gloves, and cleanroom suits—to prevent contamination. We also have strict protocols for entering and exiting the workshop: all employees must pass through an air shower to remove any dust from their clothing, and they're required to wash their hands and put on new gloves before entering the production area.
But it's not just about the environment. Our equipment is state-of-the-art. We use high-precision injection molding machines to create our cryotubes, ensuring that every tube is consistent in size and shape. Our automated packaging line uses sterile materials to package the tubes, so they stay clean until they reach your lab. We also have a dedicated quality control room where every batch is tested for sterility, leak-proofness, and other critical parameters.
We don't just test our products at the end of the line—we test them at every step. Here's our quality control process:
1. Raw Material Testing: We source our PP from trusted suppliers, and every batch is tested for purity and consistency. We check for heavy metals, residual chemicals, and other contaminants to ensure that the material meets our strict standards.
2. Molding Testing: After molding, we check each tube for defects—like cracks, uneven walls, or improper threads. We use automated vision systems to inspect thousands of tubes per hour, ensuring that every tube is perfect.
3. Sterilization Testing: We take samples from every batch of sterilized tubes and test them for sterility using microbial culture methods. If any sample shows signs of contamination, the entire batch is rejected.
4. Leak Testing: We submerge a sample of tubes in liquid nitrogen for 24 hours and check for leaks. If even one tube leaks, the entire batch is discarded. We also test for leaks at room temperature to ensure that the seal holds in all conditions.
5. Final Inspection: Before packaging, we do a final check to ensure that every tube meets our standards. We check the label, the seal, and the overall quality of the tube.
This rigorous process means that our cryotubes have a 99.9% pass rate—so you can be confident that every tube you receive is perfect.
We know that sustainability is important to our customers. That's why we're committed to sustainable plastic packaging solutions. Here's how we're making a difference:
1. Recycled Materials: We offer cryotubes made from recycled PP (PCR) for customers who want to reduce their carbon footprint. Our PCR PP is just as durable and sterile as virgin PP, but it uses less energy to produce. We source our PCR PP from certified suppliers who use post-consumer waste, so you can be sure that your tubes are eco-friendly.
2. Waste Reduction: We've optimized our molding process to reduce waste by 20%. Any scrap material is recycled and reused in our production line. We also use lean manufacturing principles to minimize waste in our packaging and shipping processes.
3. Eco-Friendly Packaging: Our packaging is made from recycled cardboard, and we use minimal plastic in our shipping materials. We also offer bulk packaging options to reduce the number of boxes used. For example, if you order 10,000 tubes, we can package them in a single box instead of multiple small boxes, reducing the amount of cardboard and plastic used.
4. Energy Efficiency: Our workshop uses LED lighting and energy-efficient machines to reduce our carbon footprint. We also have a solar panel system that provides 30% of our electricity needs. We're constantly looking for ways to reduce our energy consumption and become more sustainable.
We believe that being a responsible manufacturer means balancing quality with sustainability. Our sustainable practices don't compromise on product performance—they enhance it. We're proud to be a leader in sustainable plastic packaging solutions, and we're committed to continuing to innovate in this area.

A leading biobank in Germany was struggling with cryotubes that leaked during storage. They had tried multiple suppliers, but none of the tubes could withstand the extreme temperatures of their liquid nitrogen tanks. They reached out to us for a solution. Our team worked with them to design a custom cryotube with a double silicone gasket and reinforced threads. After testing the samples, the biobank was impressed—no leaks, no contamination. They now order 500,000 cryotubes from us every year. "Your cryotubes have saved us thousands of euros in lost samples," said their lab manager. "We can now store our samples with confidence, knowing that they're safe."
A pharmaceutical company in the US needed cryotubes for their vaccine storage. They required tubes that were sterile, barcoded, and could withstand repeated freeze-thaw cycles. They also needed the tubes to be made from recycled PP to align with their sustainability goals. We provided them with our CT-18 model (1.8ml, gamma-sterilized, barcoded) made from recycled PP. The company was so pleased with the quality that they expanded their order to include HDPE pill bottles and spray bottles for their other products. "Working with you has simplified our supply chain," said their procurement manager. "We no longer have to work with multiple suppliers—we can get all our packaging needs from you. And the fact that your products are sustainable is a huge plus for our brand."
A research lab in Japan needed custom cryotubes for their cell culture experiments. They required tubes with a unique bottom shape to make sample retrieval easier. Their existing tubes had a round bottom, which made it difficult to aspirate the last drop of sample. Our team designed a custom cryotube with a conical bottom and a wider opening. We provided free test molds for the lab to validate the design. The lab was thrilled with the results—their sample retrieval time was reduced by 30%, and they were able to get more accurate results from their experiments. They now use our custom cryotubes exclusively. "Your custom solution has made our work much more efficient," said their lead researcher. "We can now process more samples in less time, which has helped us advance our research faster."
A cosmetic brand in Australia needed custom roll-on bottles for their essential oil line. They wanted bottles with a stainless steel roller ball and a custom color (mint green) to align with their brand. They also needed the bottles to be refillable to appeal to eco-conscious customers. Our team designed a custom roll-on bottle with a stainless steel roller ball and mint green body. We provided free samples for the brand to test, and they were impressed with the quality and design. They now order 100,000 roll-on bottles from us every quarter. "Your custom roll-on bottles have helped our brand stand out in a crowded market," said their marketing manager. "The stainless steel roller ball feels luxurious, and the mint green color is perfect for our brand. Our customers love the refillable option, and it's helped us increase our sales by 25%."
