1. How do Corning cryogenic vials prevent sample leakage at ultra-low temperatures?
Corning cryogenic vials are engineered with precision-threaded caps and silicone O-ring seals to ensure a secure, leak-proof closure. This design prevents sample loss and contamination during storage in liquid nitrogen or ultra-low temperature freezers.
2. Are Corning cryogenic vials autoclavable for sterilization?
Yes. Corning cryogenic vials are made from high-quality polypropylene, allowing them to be autoclaved at 121°C. This supports effective sterilization before use in critical laboratory applications.
3. What is the recommended storage position for cryogenic vials—liquid or vapor phase?
Corning recommends storing cryogenic vials in the vapor phase of liquid nitrogen to minimize the risk of contamination while maintaining consistent ultra-low temperatures.
