CryoELITE freestanding internal threaded vial with Loctagon skirt provides stability in freestanding position, and locks into the CryoELITE Benchmate Rack providing an easy way to open and close vial with one hand. The freestanding vial accommodates an optional 2D data matrix bar code bottom insert; which provides a unique identifier for permanent traceability. The bar code bottom insert; which can be purchased separately easily press fits into the bottom of the vial. The vial bottom format allows unrestricted sample viewing and allows for automated scanning of bar code especially when used with the Wheaton KeepIT-100™ Freezer Box (Wheaton No. W651700 Series). The unique manufacturing design of the CryoELITE vial creates more cap to vial surface contact for an absolute seal. This results in exceptional cap seal performance exceeding DOT standards and IATA regulations by an average of 35%, making the CryoELITE vial ideal for the transport of clinical samples. All vial lots are certified DNase and RNase free, non-pyrogenic, Endotoxin free, and are provided sterile or non-sterile. Caps and vials are made from low binding cryogenic, virgin polypropylene.
