VWR Freezer Vial 10 ml External Thread Cap 17 x 84 mm PP 250 Vials

The VWR 10018-740 Freezer Vial is a specialized laboratory consumable designed for the secure and organized storage of biological samples at low temperatures. This vial has a 10 ml capacity, making it suitable for larger sample volumes than typical cryovials, accommodating various research and clinical needs.

A key feature of this vial is its external thread cap. This design choice is often preferred in cryogenic storage applications because it reduces the risk of contamination compared to internal thread caps, as the cap threads do not enter the sterile sample chamber. The cap ensures a secure and leak-proof seal, essential for preventing sample loss, evaporation, and degradation during freezing and thawing cycles. The vial measures 17 mm in diameter by 84 mm in length, providing specific dimensions for compatibility with freezer racks and boxes. It is constructed from polypropylene (PP), a durable and chemically resistant plastic that can withstand extreme temperatures, including those of ultra-low freezers and the vapor phase of liquid nitrogen.

The VWR 10018-740 Freezer Vial is an essential tool for laboratories engaged in biobanking, cell culture, and molecular biology, providing a reliable and robust solution for the long-term preservation of valuable samples.
