Frequently Asked Questions
What factors should be considered when selecting cryogenic vials and storage boxes?
Key factors include: material (e.g., polypropylene, ultra‐low‐temperature tolerant plastic), closure type (external thread, internal thread, or stopper seal), capacity and size (e.g., 0.5 mL, 1 mL, 2 mL, 5 mL), compatibility with storage boxes/racks, sterilisation status, whether it carries barcode or “three‐in‐one” function (sample ID, record, location), and labeling/tracking system for low temperature use.
What are the coordination principles between sample tubes, ice boxes and stainless steel storage racks?
The sample tube’s dimensions (diameter, height) must match the holes in the cryo‐storage box; the storage box should fit the grid or holes of the rack; the stainless‐steel rack must be corrosion‐resistant, dimensionally stable at low temperatures, and structurally robust for long‐term −80 °C or liquid nitrogen use. Proper coordination boosts space efficiency, sample tracking and operator safety.
What safety risks exist when using cryogenic vials in liquid nitrogen and how can they be mitigated?
If a cryogenic vial is poorly sealed, liquid nitrogen may seep inside and rapidly vaporise during thawing, generating high pressure and causing vial explosion—posing risk of injury or sample contamination.
Mitigation suggestions:
- Use vials rated for liquid nitrogen immersion or vapour‐phase storage as per manufacturer instructions.
- Leave sufficient headspace (do not overfill).
- Use proper containment (blast shields) if required.
- Wear appropriate PPE (cryogenic gloves, face shield, etc.).
What preservation and labeling requirements should be observed for long‐term sample storage?
- Samples should bear durable cryogenic labels (colour coding, linear or 2D/3D barcodes, traceable IDs).
- Maintain stable storage temperature (-80 °C or liquid nitrogen) with minimal fluctuations.
- Implement a sample catalogue and location tracking system (box number, grid position, rack).
- Periodically check for signs of tube cracking, frost buildup, label detachment or rack corrosion.
What should I pay attention to when transferring samples between −80 °C freezer and liquid nitrogen?
Avoid thermal shock (which may crack tubes or damage samples). It’s recommended to acclimatise tubes in the nitrogen vapour phase before full immersion. Conversely, when moving from liquid nitrogen to a −80 °C freezer, allow gradual equilibration to avoid moisture condensation. Also verify the vial is compatible with liquid nitrogen immersion.
