Designed for safe storage at temperatures as low as -196 °C (but should be used only in the gas phase of liquid nitrogen).
White washer seal fits tightly on top of the tube opening to ensure a leakproof seal
Packaged in unique tamperproof, resealable, safety-lock
Skirted tubes have a locking base for easy one-hand operations and only 1 1/4 turn of the cap is sufficient to screw the cap on the vial.
Closure and vial are both made of polypropylene having the same coefficient of expansion, ensuring an equally secure seal both at room temperature and at low cryogenic temperatures.
Tubes have a white marking area, they can be color coded and are compatible with most storage systems.
