How to choose
A cryogenic vial choice comes down to the thread design, how you plan to track samples, and the volume and organization your storage needs.
External thread keeps the cap threads outside the vial body, which reduces contamination risk during opening and closing. Internal thread gives a larger usable volume for the same outer dimension. Both seal with a silicone O-ring rated to minus 196 degrees Celsius.
A writable patch works for manual inventory. For automated workflows, the 2D barcode vials carry a laser-etched Data Matrix code on the base and fit standard SBS-format racks for machine-readable tracking.
Vials run 1.5 to 5.0 millilitres. Polycarbonate storage boxes with an alphanumeric grid lid keep vials organized in dewars and freezers, are autoclavable at 121 degrees Celsius, and stack for dense storage.

Common questions
External thread vials keep the cap threads outside the vial body, which reduces the risk of sample contact with the threads during opening and closing. Internal thread vials give a larger usable volume for the same outer dimension. Both use a silicone O-ring seal rated to minus 196 degrees Celsius.
Every Nest Scientific cryogenic vial is rated from minus 196 degrees Celsius to plus 121 degrees Celsius, which covers liquid nitrogen vapor-phase and immersion storage at the cold end and autoclave sterilization at the warm end.
Yes. The 2D barcode vials carry a unique laser-etched Data Matrix code on the base for machine-readable identification and fit standard SBS-format racks, in both external and internal thread designs.
Yes. The cryogenic vials are sterile, DNase and RNase free, and non-pyrogenic. The cryo storage boxes are polycarbonate and autoclavable at 121 degrees Celsius for sterile applications.
