Product Description
Long-term preservation of biological samples in glass demands a container that tolerates extreme cold and thaws quickly. CRYULE ampules are designed for low-temperature storage, including the vapor phase of liquid nitrogen, with a shape that also supports rapid thawing when samples are needed.
This listing is for Wheaton catalog number W651469: CRYULE Ampule, 5 mL, Case of 293. Each ampule is converted from Type I borosilicate glass tubing and meets the hydrolytic resistance requirements of USP and EP 3.2.1.
