[Nhcoll-l] Tubes for tissue samples in fluids

[Gregory Schneider]

Hi Gail,

At the UMMZ Division of Reptiles and Amphibians, we have been using
cryovials from Bioworld in our frozen tissues collection. I had an
opportunity to look into choices for vials when we switched from -80 C
freezers to LN2 vapor phase freezers. We decided on:
2.0ml Self-Standing Sterile Cryogenic Vials, External Threads

2.0ml Self-standing Conical Cryogenic Vial screwed with clear caps. Clear
Medical Grade Polypropylene, Autoclavable, >20,000 x G. Working Temperature
-196℃ to 121℃ , Freeze Proof, Boil Proof, Sterile, Rnase & Dnase Free,
Endotoxin Free.

made by:
http://www.biologixgroup.com/

We store them in 5 1/4 inch square boxes (as these fit our LN2 freezer
racks) and, they can fit 100 per box (10 x 10). Our tissues database has
fields for Box Number and Cell Number so that records for multiple tissues
with the  field number (or Catalog number) can still be unique records in
the database.

I hope this helps.

Best regards,
Greg
