Azenta Cell Freezing Container, 5ml Cryo Tubes, Purple

Alcohol-free Cell Freezing Containers for 12 x 3.5ml to 5ml Cryo Tubes ensure controlled-rate -1℃/minute cell freezing in a -80℃ freezer

• No alcohol or fluids required
• Consistent heat removal through freezing period
• Unbreakable, easy & safe to open when frozen
• Easy & fast vial identification & removal
• For use with stem cells, primary cells & cell lines

Cell Freezing Containers for controlled-rate alcohol-free cell freezing provide a highly reproducible -1℃/minute freezing rate when placed in a -80℃ freezer, with no alcohol or fluids required. The patent-pending Cell Freezing Container technology utilizes a thermo-conductive alloy core & highly-insulative outer material to control the rate of heat removal to provide reproducible cell cryopreservation. The insulative outer housing & thermo-conductive solid state core ensure consistent heat removal to all vials throughout the freezing period.

Cell Freezing Containers can replace isopropanol-based freezing containers such as Mr. Frosty by ThermoFisher Scientific & others, which can consume up to 12l per year of IPA & cost hundreds of dollars per unit per year to maintain.

Key Features:

Secure Sample Preservation:

• No variability in freeze rate, all vials have uniform freeze rate
• Radially symmetric design ensures vial consistency
• Numbered vial wells ensure easy sample identification
• Quick removal of frozen vials due to exposed vial tops, & beveled junction between base & lid

Ease & Safety of Use:

• Unbreakable
• Ergonomic lid comes off easily when frozen
• Not cold to the touch when removed from -80°C freezer
• Quick reuse time: the containers are ready to use again after 5 minutes

Competitive & Cost Saving Option:

• The units deliver comparable results to expensive programmable freezers
• No fluids (e.g. alcohol) or precooling needed, can save 12l/unit of IPA per year
• No on-going cost due to elimination of hazardous solvents or alcohol purchase & disposal

Broad Cell Compatibility:

• Primary cells, including WBCs, human cardiac, muscle, mouse
• Cell lines, including CHO, LnCap, HTB77, A549, HeLa
• Stem cells, including human & mouse embryonic, breast & colon cancer, preadipocytes, progenitor, human endothelial, glioblastoma
