Wheaton has introduced CryoELITE vials for the secure storage of biological tissues.
CryoELITE tissue vials are designed for the safe, secure and effective cryopreservation of biological tissue specimens.
The uniform vials maintain sample integrity while maximising storage capacity and organisation, the company claims.
Features include a wide-mouth opening, 5mL capacity and high integrity closure.
The vials are manufactured from low binding, cryogenic-grade virgin polypropylene that meets USP Class VI classification.
Lot tested and certified to be free of pyrogens, RNase/DNase and endotoxins, the vials have a storage temperature range of -156°C to 121°C.
An externally threaded cap provides a seal that exceeds DOT and IATA classifications for diagnostic specimens and transport and is capable of maintaining a secure closure during freeze/thaw procedures.
Vials also have a flat bottom and a stippled external surface to promote easier handling.
For additional convenience and productivity, Wheaton also produces CryoFile Tissue Boxes - specially-designed water-repellent boxes for batching and storing 25 vials in numbered partitions.
Available in six colours, CryoFile boxes can be double stacked in a standard 2” freezer rack.
“Tissue specimens are considered by scientific researchers to contain the most valuable information that we can collect in our efforts to discover therapies and possible cures for cancer and many chronic diseases.CryoELITE Tissue Vials were developed in response to the need to maintain these precious specimens in the most pristine form possible,” said Wayne L. Brinster, Chief executive officer, Wheaton.
“We are very excited to meet the biomedical research community’s demand for secure, reliable, cryogenically proven vessels to store and transport tissues and fluids.”
