Frequently Asked Questions
1. What makes a cryoware marker different from a standard lab pen?
Thermo Nalgene cryoware markers are specifically formulated with ink that bonds to plastic surfaces and remains permanent even when exposed to liquid nitrogen vapor or extreme cold, preventing sample misidentification.
2. Are the polycarbonate (PC) cryovial racks autoclavable?
Yes, polycarbonate racks from Thermo Nalgene are generally autoclavable, allowing for easy sterilization between uses in sensitive biological workflows.
3. When should I use a floating tube rack instead of a standard rack?
Floating racks from Heathrow Scientific are ideal for applications involving waterbaths or ice, as they keep samples upright and submerged at a consistent depth while preventing the tubes from sinking.
4. Do the Nalgene cryovial racks fit all vial sizes?
These racks are typically optimized for standard 1.2 mL to 5.0 mL cryogenic vials; always check the specific hole diameter of the PC rack to ensure a secure fit for your vials.
