A Guide to Visotubes, Cryosleeves, and Cryocanes in Cryogenic Storage

CHICHESTER, U.K. - March 11, 2025 - PRLog -- Introduction

In the world of cryogenic storage, ensuring the safe preservation of biological samples like embryos, sperm, and stem cells is a top priority. Laboratories and research facilities rely on specialised tools to maintain these delicate specimens in liquid nitrogen at ultra-low temperatures (-196°C). Among these essential tools are Visotubes, Cryosleeves, and Cryocanes, each playing a unique role in organising, protecting, and retrieving stored samples. Let's take a closer look at what they are, how they work, and why they are indispensable.

Visotubes: Compact and Organised Sample Storage

Visotubes are small, cylindrical plastic containers designed to hold cryogenic straws, which contain biological specimens. They help maintain order in liquid nitrogen tanks while ensuring samples remain easily identifiable and accessible. Made from high-quality plastic, Visotubes are durable and can withstand extreme temperatures. They are available in multiple colours, allowing for easy differentiation of samples. Their compatibility with Cryocanes and Cryosleeves makes them an integral part of systematic sample organisation.

Cryosleeves: Extra Protection for Cryogenic Samples

Cryosleeves serve as protective covers that enclose Visotubes or individual cryogenic straws. They provide an additional layer of safety by minimising direct exposure to liquid nitrogen, preventing cross-contamination, and making sample handling more secure. Available in multiple sizes, they are designed to fit different storage needs, adding an extra level of sterility and protection to stored samples.

Cryocane : Maximising Storage Space and Organisation

Cryocanes are metal racks designed to hold Visotubes inside liquid nitrogen tanks, offering an efficient way to manage large numbers of samples. Made from stainless steel, they are highly durable and resistant to extreme cold. Their multi-slot design allows for the organised placement of several Visotubes, optimising storage space while ensuring easy retrieval of samples.

Cryocanes for embryo freezing are widely used in IVF laboratories to keep specimens organised and accessible. IVF cryocane storage solutions provide structured placement, reducing the risk of sample misidentification. Cryocanes for sperm storage ensure that fertility treatments can proceed with high-quality preserved specimens. Cryogenic canes for reproductive labs, particularly stainless steel cryocanes for IVF, offer a reliable and long-lasting storage solution. Liquid nitrogen cryocanes for IVF clinics are designed for maximum efficiency, while high-capacity cryocanes for storage allow laboratories to store a greater number of samples securely. Cryocane holders for embryo security play a key role in the structured management of reproductive samples. (https://cryolab.co.uk/product/cryocanes-and-coders/)
