Cryogenic tubes

The LABSOLUTE® cryo tubes are designed for optimal storage and preservation of biological sample materials in the gas phase of liquid nitrogen or in deep-freeze devices. The cryo tubes are produced under clean room conditions as defined by ISO 14644-1 Class 8 and US FED STD 209 Class 100000 from high-quality PP.

The integrated sealing surface of the screw caps made of HDPE is innovative and particularly practical. Leaks from the cryo tubes are therefore 100 % excluded - incorrectly positioned O-rings are a thing of the past.

The cryo tubes are available in various sizes and with inner and outer threads.

• Certified sterility through beta irradiation (SAL 10^-6)
• Free from human DNA, RNase, DNase, ATP and pyrogens
• Large labelling field
• Simple removal and secure storage: supplied in a handy dispenser box with 10 resealable pouches of 50 cryo tubes

The LABSOLUTE® cap inserts are very easy to insert into the screw caps and are used to colour-code your samples.
