Product Description
Store more samples in less freezer space with a cryogenic vial built to the SBS footprint for orderly, automation-friendly biobanking. The self-standing round-bottom design stays upright on the bench, and the star socket cap works with automatic decappers to speed up high-volume workflows.
This listing is for NEST catalog number 618901: 1.0 mL SBS Format Cryogenic Vial, Self-Standing, External Thread, No Markings, Sterile, Bagged, Case of 960 (10 Packs x 96). Each vial is molded from USP Class VI virgin polypropylene in an ISO 7 cleanroom within an ISO 13485:2016 and ISO 9001 certified facility. The external thread cap seals without a silicone ring, removing a common contamination point, and the vials are e-beam sterilized to SAL 10^-6. Lots are tested free of DNase, RNase, DNA, pyrogens and cytotoxins, and the vials are rated from -196°C to 121°C. LIGHT LABS carries the full NEST Scientific catalog with knowledgeable support when you need it.
