CryoCLEAR Cryogenic Vials, 1.0–5.0 mL Sterile Polypropylene, Internal & External Thread Screwcaps — 50/Bag
Globe Scientific CryoCLEAR vials deliver clear, leak-resistant sample storage for cell banking, biorepository archiving, and long-term cryopreservation at liquid-nitrogen temperatures. Molded from medical-grade polypropylene with a co-molded thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) cap seal, each vial holds its closure under thermal cycling. Sterile and certified non-pyrogenic, they suit primary cell lines, serum aliquots, and nucleic acid samples.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between internal and external thread CryoCLEAR vials?
External-thread caps seal outside the vial body, easing decontamination and reducing thread contamination. Internal-thread caps recess within the rim for a lower profile. Both use the same co-molded TPE seal; choice depends on your rack format and workflow preference.
Are CryoCLEAR vials rated for liquid nitrogen storage?
Yes. The polypropylene construction and TPE-sealed screwcap are designed for cryogenic temperatures. For long-term liquid-nitrogen storage, vapor-phase storage is recommended to minimize the risk of liquid ingress and pressure buildup.
Are these vials supplied sterile?
All listed CryoCLEAR vials are sterile and non-pyrogenic, packaged ready for cell culture and clinical sample handling without additional autoclaving before first use.
What does the 50/bag pack contain versus the color-cap case items?
Standard SKUs (e.g., 3010-50 through 3015-50) are sold in bags of 50 vials. The color-cap configurations (3012B, 3012G, 3012R, 3012V, 3012W, 3012Y) are supplied as larger cases, which is reflected in their per-pack price.
