CryoSette™ Frozen Tissue Storage System

CryoSette™ Frozen Tissue Storage Container

20955, 20955-5,6,7,8,9,10,11

The CryoSette™ is designed for frozen tissue collection, transport and storage. It can also be used for storing a variety of other specimens in all laboratories. The robust design ensures that tissue morphology will be well preserved.

• Base made of acetyl resin polymer
• Screw cap is made of high density polyethylene
• Offers sample specimen storage in upright/chest freezer and LN₂ vapor phase dewar down to -196°C
• Color code inserts available
• Cardboard label for CryoSette™
• Transparent plastic label cover
• Top writing or cryo label space for labeling
• Maintains the integrity of tissue samples
• Choice of two storage boxes

The 2.5ml container features a wide-mouth opening and a high integrity screw closure. It is designed for a flat bottom and straight sides for easy tissue removal. The specific shape of the CryoSette™ allows its manipulation to be optimized, whether you are using gloves or not. The CryoSette™ efficiently stores tissue samples in -86°C ultra low freezers or in the gas phase of LN₂ in Dewar flasks at -196°C, but not in LN₂ liquid phase.

The CryoSette™ screw closure and base are designed so they will not seize at low temperatures. Rapid visual 1-1/4 turn on/off. Color-coded inserts available in 5 colors.

The CryoSette™ offers two surfaces for handwriting or applying identification labels: an interior surface and a larger space underneath the base. A thin Cardboard I.D. Label (product number 20955-10) and Plastic Transparent Cover (product number 20955-11) are available for the latter. The CryoSette™ is compatible with common tracking methods. The anterior writing surface is improved for ink adherence. Color Coded Identification Inserts (product numbers 20955-5 through 20955-9) are available in 5 colors: blue, red, green, yellow and lilac.

The Storage Rack is designed to contain 21 frozen tissue CryoSette™ Containers. The box is compact and has an SBS standard footprint to make suitable to several robotic storage systems. These innovative boxes can be stored in low-temperature freezers.

Temperature range: -196°C to 110°C. Suitable for cryogenic storage, but only in LN₂ vapor phase.
Dimensions: 127.76mm x 85.48mm x 41.6mmH

CryoSette™ CryoStore Container

20955-3

The CryoSette™ CryoStore box can accommodate up to 40 CryoSette™ tissue containers in a space as small as 133 x 133 x 52mm H.  Made of extra strong polycarbonate, the durable cryogenic storage box is designed to be used at temperatures between -196°C and +121°C and is autoclavable at 120°C, 15 psig (1 bar) for 20 minutes. Only use in LN₂ vapor phase.

The frosted cover allows the user to write directly on top of the box, and is keyed to the base to prevent misalignment.
