Thermo Scientific Cryobank Freezer Vial 2 ml Sterile 480 Vials

Thermo Scientific 374259 Cryobank Vial – 2.0 mL, Sterile, Polypropylene, 96-Well Rack

The Thermo Scientific 374259 (Nunc) Cryobank vial is a high-density storage solution engineered for the long-term preservation of biological samples in the vapor phase of liquid nitrogen. Manufactured from medical-grade, low-binding polypropylene, these 2.0 mL vials feature an internally threaded, gasket-free screw cap design. This integrated seal technology eliminates the risk of O-ring failure or contamination, providing a secure, leak-proof closure down to -196°C. Supplied pre-assembled in 96-well SBS-format racks, the 374259 is fully compatible with automated liquid handling workstations and decapping systems. These vials are certified sterile (SAL 10⁻⁶) and free of DNase, RNase, and pyrogens, ensuring the highest level of sample integrity for cell lines, DNA libraries, and clinical specimens.

Technical Performance and Design

• Gasket-Free Integrated Seal: The screw cap features a precision-engineered internal taper that creates a hermetic seal with the vial wall without the use of rubber gaskets, preventing sample contamination and cap-popping during thermal cycles.

• SBS-Format Racking: Vials are supplied in a standardized 96-well footprint rack (Locking Latch Rack style), allowing for seamless integration with robotic pick-and-place systems and automated -80°C/-196°C storage units.

• Low-Binding Polypropylene: The high-purity plastic minimizes the non-specific binding of proteins and nucleic acids, ensuring maximum sample recovery even after decades of storage.

• Certified Sterility: Electron-beam irradiated to a Sterility Assurance Level of 10⁻⁶, making these vials suitable for sensitive cell culture and pharmaceutical applications.

Key Benefits & Applications

• High-Density Biobanking: Offers significantly higher storage density than traditional cryoboxes, maximizing the utilization of expensive ultra-low temperature freezer and liquid nitrogen tank space.

• Automated Capping/Decapping: The anti-rotation vial design locks into the rack base, allowing automated decappers to remove and replace caps without the vial spinning in the well.

• Cell Line Preservation: Optimized for the storage of hybridomas, stem cells, and primary cell lines in the vapor phase of LN2, where maintaining a stable, sterile environment is critical.

• Standardized Workflow: Ideal for labs that utilize the Cryobank rack format for automation but do not require the added expense of 2D data-matrix barcodes for each individual vial.
