Imagine you're a researcher working on a breakthrough cancer treatment. You've spent months growing a rare cell line that could hold the key to a new drug. Now, you need to store these cells for future experiments. What's the one thing you can't afford to go wrong? The container holding your precious samples. If the seal breaks, liquid nitrogen seeps in, or contaminants get into the vial—all your hard work goes down the drain. That's where silicone gasket sealed cryovials come in. They're the unsung heroes of labs, biobanks, and research facilities worldwide, keeping samples safe even at ultra-low temperatures like -196°C. And if you're looking to stock up on these reliable containers, wholesale is the way to go—especially with bulk order discounts that save you money without compromising quality.
As a leading cryogenic tubes manufacturer, we understand the strict requirements of scientific research. Our silicone gasket sealed cryovials are designed to meet the highest standards, from sterility to leak resistance. Whether you're storing cell cultures, DNA samples, or vaccine doses, our cryovials give you the peace of mind that your work is protected. Let's dive into why these cryovials are the best choice for your lab—and how buying wholesale can benefit you.
Let's get down to the nitty-gritty of why silicone gaskets are a game-changer for cryovials. First off, silicone is an inert material—meaning it doesn't react with your samples. Whether you're storing DNA, cell cultures, or vaccine doses, you don't have to worry about the gasket leaching chemicals into your precious materials. Second, silicone can handle extreme temperatures like no other. It stays elastic even when submerged in liquid nitrogen at -196°C (that's the temperature of liquid nitrogen) and can withstand autoclaving at 121°C for sterilization. Compare that to rubber gaskets, which often crack or lose their seal after a few freeze-thaw cycles.
Third, the silicone gasket creates an airtight, leak-proof seal. Our leak-proof cryotubes with silicone gasket are designed so the gasket fits perfectly between the cap and the vial's neck, forming a barrier that keeps liquid nitrogen out and your samples in. We test every batch to ensure that not a single vial leaks—because we know how important that is for your work. Fourth, silicone gaskets are durable. They don't degrade over time, so your cryovials will maintain their seal for years, even with repeated use.
But don't just take our word for it. Let's look at some real-world examples. A biobank in Europe recently switched to our silicone gasket sealed cryovials after experiencing leaks with their previous supplier. They reported zero leaks in over 100,000 vials used in their storage facility. Another research lab told us that our cryovials helped them preserve a rare plant seed sample for over five years—something they couldn't do with their old containers. These stories are a testament to the quality of our products.
Our cryovials are packed with features that make them ideal for any lab or research facility. Let's break down each feature in detail:
All our cryovials are made from medical-grade polypropylene (PP). PP is a durable, chemical-resistant material that can handle freeze-thaw cycles without cracking. It's also lightweight, so it's easy to handle and store. Unlike glass vials, PP cryovials won't shatter if dropped—making them safer for lab workers.
Our sterile cryo vials for liquid nitrogen are sterilized using either ethylene oxide (EO) or gamma radiation. This ensures that they are free from bacteria, fungi, and other contaminants. Moreover, our non-pyrogenic sterile cryotubes are free from endotoxins—substances that can cause fever or inflammation in living organisms. This is critical for storing samples that will be used in animal or human research.
Keeping track of thousands of samples can be a nightmare. That's why our cryovials have a writable surface that accepts permanent markers, labels, or barcodes. You can easily write sample IDs, dates, or other information directly on the vial. For larger labs or biobanks, barcodes are a great option—they allow you to scan samples quickly and accurately, reducing the risk of human error. Our barcoded or writable cryogenic vials are compatible with most inventory management systems.
We offer cryovials in a variety of sizes to meet your needs: 0.5ml, 1.8ml, 2ml, and 5ml. Let's see which size is right for you:
Our cryovials are autoclavable at 121°C for 20 minutes. This means you can reuse them if needed—saving you money and reducing waste. Just make sure to remove the cap before autoclaving to prevent pressure buildup.
Our cryovials can handle temperatures from -196°C (liquid nitrogen) to 121°C (autoclaving). This makes them suitable for a wide range of applications, from long-term storage in liquid nitrogen to short-term storage in a -80°C freezer.

Our cryovials are used in a wide range of applications, from basic research to clinical trials. Let's take a look at some of the most common uses:
Biobanks store thousands—sometimes millions—of human, animal, or plant samples for future research. These samples need to be stored for years, if not decades, so reliability is key. Our -196°C cryogenic storage tubes are perfect for biobanks. The silicone gasket ensures that each sample is sealed tightly, preventing cross-contamination between vials. And since our vials are barcoded or writable, biobanks can easily track each sample using their inventory management systems. We've worked with several large biobanks around the world, providing them with bulk quantities of our cryovials. They tell us that our vials are reliable, easy to use, and help them keep their samples organized.
Clinical research often involves storing sensitive samples like blood, urine, or tissue for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. Our sterile cryo vials for liquid nitrogen are non-pyrogenic and DNase/RNase-free, making them ideal for these applications. For example, during the COVID-19 pandemic, our cryovials were used to store vaccine samples and patient blood samples. They helped researchers quickly and safely transport samples between labs, accelerating the development of vaccines and treatments.
Cell culture is a critical part of biotechnology research. Researchers grow cell lines like HEK293 or CHO cells for drug discovery, protein production, and other applications. These cells need to be stored at ultra-low temperatures to maintain their viability. Our cryovials are perfect for this—they can handle repeated freeze-thaw cycles without cracking or leaking. A biotech company in the US recently told us that our cryovials helped them preserve a CHO cell line for over three years, allowing them to continue their research without having to re-establish the cell line.
Agricultural researchers often store plant seeds or tissue cultures for crop improvement. These samples need to be stored for long periods to preserve their genetic diversity. Our 5ml cryovials are great for this—they can hold large volumes of seeds or tissue cultures. A university agricultural lab in Brazil used our cryovials to store maize seed samples for a crop improvement project. They reported that 95% of the seeds germinated after five years of storage, which is a testament to the quality of our cryovials.
Veterinary researchers store animal samples for disease research, vaccine development, and other applications. Our cryovials are ideal for this—they meet the same standards as human medical samples. A veterinary lab in Australia used our cryovials to store dog blood samples for a study on heart disease. They reported zero leaks and 100% sample viability after two years of storage.

To get the most out of your cryovials, it's important to follow proper storage practices. Here are some tips:
Liquid nitrogen is the most common way to store cryovials. There are two types of storage: liquid phase and vapor phase. Liquid phase storage involves submerging the cryovials directly in liquid nitrogen. This is the coldest option (-196°C) but carries a higher risk of cross-contamination if a vial leaks. Vapor phase storage involves storing the cryovials in the vapor above the liquid nitrogen. This is slightly warmer (-150°C to -180°C) but reduces the risk of cross-contamination. Our cryovials are suitable for both types of storage.
Repeated freeze-thaw cycles can damage your samples. To minimize this, try to thaw only the amount of sample you need. If you have to thaw a cryovial, do it quickly in a 37°C water bath. Once thawed, don't refreeze the sample—use it immediately or store it at 4°C for short periods.
Proper labeling is critical for tracking your samples. Use waterproof labels or permanent markers to write on the cryovial. Avoid using tape— it can come off in liquid nitrogen. For barcodes, place them on the side of the vial so they can be scanned easily in racks.
Liquid nitrogen is extremely cold and can cause frostbite or burns. Always wear protective gear (gloves, goggles, lab coat) when handling liquid nitrogen. Make sure your storage tank is in a well-ventilated area to prevent oxygen depletion. Our cryovials are leak-proof, but it's still important to handle them carefully to avoid dropping or breaking them.
Our cryovials have a shelf life of 3 years from the manufacturing date. Store them in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, use the cryovials within 6 months to ensure sterility.
