Definition
vial designed for storage of material at ultra-low temperatures
Explanatory Notes
Cryovials are specialized small, sealable containers typically made of plastics (e.g., polypropylene) or glass designed to withstand liquid nitrogen or −80 °C conditions without compromising material integrity. They are commonly used in biomanufacturing and research to preserve cells, tissues, nucleic acids, or proteins.
Examples
- A 2 mL polypropylene cryovial with an O-ring screw cap designed for storing samples in vapor-phase liquid nitrogen.
