Trusted
Cryogenic Tubes Manufacturer: OEM Services with Fast Lead Time
Let's be honest—when it comes to storing sensitive biological samples, you can't afford to take chances. Whether you're a lab researcher preserving cell lines, a biobank safeguarding stem cells, or a pharma company storing vaccine aliquots, the containers you use are the first line of defense against sample loss. That's where we come in: as a leading
cryogenic tubes manufacturer, we specialize in creating high-quality, reliable storage solutions that keep your samples safe even at -196°C (yes, that's liquid nitrogen's frigid temperature!).
For over a decade, we've been serving labs, biobanks, and pharmaceutical firms across the globe. Our secret? We don't just make tubes—we make peace of mind. Every product we produce meets the strictest industry standards (ISO 9001:2015 and GMP, to name a few), and our OEM services let you tailor every detail to your exact needs. Plus, our fast lead times mean you won't be left waiting around when time is critical. Let's dive into what makes our
cryogenic tubes stand out, and how we can help you with your next project.
You know the nightmare scenarios: a tube leaks during storage, ruining months of research; a sample gets contaminated because the tube wasn't sterile enough; or the material cracks under extreme cold. We've heard all these stories—and we've designed our tubes to eliminate those risks.
First, let's talk about material. All our
cryogenic tubes are made from medical-grade polypropylene (PP), a material that's not only durable but also resistant to the harsh conditions of cryogenic storage. Unlike cheaper plastics, our PP doesn't become brittle at -196°C—so you don't have to worry about cracks or breaks.
Next, leak-proof design. Every tube we make comes with a leak-proof cryotube with silicone gasket. This gasket creates an airtight seal that keeps liquid nitrogen out and your samples in. We test every batch for leaks using pressure tests and liquid nitrogen immersion—so you can trust that your samples are safe.
Then, sterility. When dealing with sensitive biological materials, even the tiniest contaminant can derail your work. Our
sterile cryo vials for liquid nitrogen are pre-sterilized using either ethylene oxide (EO) or gamma radiation—whichever fits your needs. Plus, they're DNase/RNase-free and non-pyrogenic, so you don't have to worry about unwanted reactions with your samples.
And let's not forget our quality certifications. Our factory operates in a
dust-free GMP compliant workshop, and we're ISO 9001:2015 certified. This means every step of our production process is held to the highest standards—from raw material selection to final packaging.
But don't just take our word for it. Let's look at our product range to see exactly what we offer.
We understand that different projects have different needs. That's why we offer a wide variety of
cryogenic tubes to fit every application. Whether you need a small 0.5ml tube for a lab experiment or a 5ml tube for biobanking, we've got you covered.

Let's dive deeper into some of these options. For example, our 0.5ml conical bottom tubes are perfect for micro-samples like single-cell suspensions or small volumes of DNA. The conical bottom makes it easy to concentrate samples during centrifugation, which is a common step in lab experiments.
Our 1.8ml round bottom tubes are a favorite among biobanks. The round bottom distributes stress evenly under extreme cold, making them ideal for long-term storage in liquid nitrogen. Plus, the barcoded option makes it easy to track thousands of samples—critical for large biobanks.
If you need a larger volume, our 5ml external thread tubes are a great choice. The external thread creates a more secure seal than internal threads, which is important for high-volume storage. These tubes are often used in industrial biotech applications where large quantities of cells or reagents need to be stored.
And if you need something that's not on this list? Our
custom mold design for plastic bottles (and tubes!) service can create exactly what you're looking for. Let's talk about our OEM services next.
One size doesn't fit all—and we get that. That's why our OEM services are designed to give you complete control over your
cryogenic tubes. Whether you have a unique size, shape, or design in mind, we can help bring it to life.
First, custom mold design. Our in-house mold team uses state-of-the-art 3D modeling software to create custom molds for your tubes. We support 3D drawing customization—so if you have a design ready, we can turn it into a mold in no time. And to make sure you're happy with the result, we offer free test molds. This lets you check the fit, function, and quality of the tube before placing a bulk order.
Next, custom printing. Want to add your logo, barcodes, or specific labels to your tubes? Our printing team can handle that—whether it's silk-screen printing, embossing, or laser engraving. This is especially useful for brands that want to maintain consistency across their lab supplies or for biobanks that need easy sample tracking.
Then, bulk orders. As a
disposable cryogenic vials wholesale supplier, we can handle large quantities without compromising on quality. Whether you need 1,000 tubes or 100,000, we have the capacity to fulfill your order quickly. And our fast lead times mean you won't have to wait weeks to get your order. For standard orders, we can ship within 5-7 days. For custom orders, we can turn them around in 2-3 weeks (depending on complexity).
But how do we ensure that every custom order meets your standards? Let's walk through our quality assurance process.
Quality isn't an afterthought for us—it's built into every step of our production process. Here's what happens before your
cryogenic tubes reach your door:
1. Raw Material Inspection
We only use medical-grade PP material from trusted suppliers. Every batch of raw material is tested for tensile strength, chemical resistance, and cryogenic durability. We also check for impurities to ensure that the material is safe for biological samples.
2. Mold Design & Testing
For custom orders, our mold team creates a 3D model and then a test mold. We run multiple tests on the test mold—including pressure tests, leak tests, and cryogenic immersion tests—to make sure it meets your requirements. Only when the test mold passes all checks do we move to mass production.
3. Production in GMP Workshop
All our tubes are produced in a
dust-free GMP compliant workshop. This workshop maintains a class 10,000 cleanroom standard—meaning there are fewer than 10,000 particles per cubic foot of air. We also control the temperature and humidity to ensure consistent quality. Every production line is monitored 24/7 to catch any issues early.
4. Sterilization Process
After production, the tubes are sterilized using either EO or gamma radiation. For EO sterilization, we use a controlled process that ensures all contaminants are eliminated. For gamma sterilization, we use high-energy gamma rays to kill bacteria and viruses. We test every batch for sterility to confirm that it meets our standards.
5. Final Quality Check
Before shipping, every batch of tubes undergoes a final quality check. We inspect for leaks, sterility, and overall quality. Any tubes that don't meet our standards are discarded immediately. We also include a quality certificate with every order—so you can have peace of mind knowing your tubes are safe.
Our
cryogenic tubes are used in a wide range of industries and applications. Let's take a look at some of the most common ones:
Biobanking
Biobanks rely on our tubes to store sensitive samples like sperm, embryos, and stem cells. Our -196°C cryogenic storage tubes are designed to keep these samples viable for years. For example, a fertility clinic might use our 2ml tubes to store sperm for in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments. The leak-proof design and sterile conditions ensure that the samples remain viable for future use.
Pharmaceutical Industry
Pharma companies use our tubes to store vaccine samples and drug candidates. Our sterile cryo vials are ideal for storing mRNA vaccines, which require ultra-cold temperatures to remain effective. For example, a vaccine manufacturer might use our 1.8ml tubes to store vaccine aliquots for clinical trials. The barcoded option makes it easy to track each aliquot throughout the trial.
Research Labs
Scientists use our tubes for cell freezing and other experiments. Our 0.5ml tubes are perfect for small lab experiments, while our 5ml tubes are used for large cell cultures. For example, a cancer research lab might use our 2ml tubes to store cancer cell lines for drug testing. The DNase/RNase-free design ensures that the cells remain uncontaminated.
Clinical Settings
Hospitals and clinics use our tubes to store patient samples for diagnostic tests. Our writable surface makes it easy to label each sample with patient information. For example, a hospital might use our 1.8ml tubes to store blood samples for genetic testing. The sterile design ensures that the samples remain accurate and reliable.
