Sat Jun 6 07:29:51 EDT 2015

Marvelseal (unprinted) is great for use as freezer storage. It is vapor impermeable when properly heat sealed.

Hello.

It happens I was looking for the same information.
But I am in need of just a few freezer bags of different sizes, and unfortunately we have a very limited budget at he moment.

Do you happen to know of any other website that sell bags per unit or less quantity?
Have you ever used Marvelseal 360 (https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.universityproducts.com_cart.php-3Fm-3Dproduct-5Flist-26c-3D1187&d=AwIF_g&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=CLFZJ3fvGSmDp7xK1dNZfh6uGV_h-8NVlo3fXNoRNzI&m=2R4s2yZ5HLIYntiDUnwfV53Bc5RrGZTfs22fAjlXbJA&s=9IWC_6ELoBrT8VvHRqzwPYRscmpnPIMkmW9Qlggnow8&e= ) ?

Thank you very much.

Hi Derek

It is best to avoid bags designed for food storage as these contain, at least in the US, an FDA mandated additive (butylatedhydroxy toluene (BHT)) that will leach into objects/specimens over time and will oxidze to colored compounds.

We buy 3 mil or thicker zip top polyethylene bags designed for small parts from: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.uline.com_Product_AdvSearchResult.aspx-3FKeywordTyped-3D4-2520mil-2520poly-26keywords-3D4-2520Mil-2520Poly-2520Bags-26SubGroups-3D114-26view-3DALL-26TrackSearch-3DN&d=AwIF_g&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=CLFZJ3fvGSmDp7xK1dNZfh6uGV_h-8NVlo3fXNoRNzI&m=2R4s2yZ5HLIYntiDUnwfV53Bc5RrGZTfs22fAjlXbJA&s=ZGsvH9y8grSXaOGSqjxM284MXXKK9fZ9VVzgvck8dgM&e= <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.uline.com_Product_AdvSearchResult.aspx-3FKeywordTyped-3D4-2520mil-2520poly-26keywords-3D4-2520Mil-2520Poly-2520Bags-26SubGroups-3D114-26view-3DALL-26TrackSearch-3DN&d=AwMGaQ&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=CLFZJ3fvGSmDp7xK1dNZfh6uGV_h-8NVlo3fXNoRNzI&m=LxB2ckeqqTpeQBFMskMpvGNjunJowa-C20eY9Ow7P2Y&s=8MMYN7hfmPB0oXgKl5v_sh_PSzTmqQgFChgLdpoFm9M&e=>

Hello, all! My lab is in need of suggestions for quality freezer bags. We have been using Ziplocs and such for a while, but they tend to break down over time to a degree and we want better quality bags. We're keeping vials in the bags inside regular freezers, although occasionally they'll also go into a -80 degrees C freezer as well.

I welcome any assistance that people can provide.

Thanks!
