Product Description
LIGHT LABS is proud to offer MTC Bio Internally Threaded Cryogenic Vials (Cat # V4805) — premium 5mL cryogenic storage tubes engineered for secure, long-term preservation of larger biological sample volumes at temperatures as low as -196°C. Unlike externally threaded designs, the internal thread configuration places the threading inside the neck of the vial, allowing the cap to insert like a plug at the same diameter as the vial body — a feature many labs prefer for dense, space-efficient storage applications and recommended sealing performance in liquid nitrogen environments.
Each vial features a leak-resistant silicone O-ring seal, printed graduations and a marking area for easy sample identification, and a self-standing star foot base for stability on the benchtop. Manufactured from LN2-grade polypropylene and sterilized by gamma irradiation, the V4805 is certified free of RNase, DNase, pyrogens, and endotoxins, making it a trusted choice for biobanking, cell culture storage, and other critical sample preservation workflows requiring larger fill volumes. Every case includes a complimentary 50-place locking rack — and because the locking feature keeps vials from spinning during cap removal, one hand is all that's needed for installation and removal. Vials are conveniently packaged in 10 resealable bags of 50 for easy organization and contamination control. LIGHT LABS is your trusted source for MTC Bio cryogenic storage products.
