The Laboratory Biobanking Solutions category brings together products designed to heat, cool, incubate, freeze or stabilise samples and processes at defined temperatures. In a working laboratory, the category supports more than a single task because it connects preparation, handling, operation and routine maintenance around the same method.
Temperature uniformity, recovery and control stability influence reaction rates, storage integrity and the reproducibility of many laboratory methods. This is why laboratories should assess controller and logging options, working temperature range, heating or cooling capacity, and chamber or bath volume before choosing a product, rather than relying only on capacity, appearance or headline specifications.
A complete temperature-control setup matches the load and vessel to the working range, heating or cooling capacity, circulation, monitoring and safety requirements. The same principle applies across research, biotechnology, pharmaceutical, food, materials and industrial laboratories: control the inputs, use compatible equipment and document the conditions that can influence the result. As part of the Laboratory Heating and Cooling Equipment range, these products can be selected with the equipment and consumables used before and after this stage.
Our Laboratory Biobanking Solutions Range
Our collection covers the main product groups used to heat, cool, incubate, freeze or stabilise samples and processes at defined temperatures, from cryogenic accessories through to ultra-low temperature freezers.
Cryogenic Accessories for Labs
The Cryogenic Accessories for Labs range includes instruments, accessories and consumables used to heat, cool, incubate, freeze or stabilise samples and processes at defined temperatures. Start with the application and sample, then compare controller and logging options, working temperature range, heating or cooling capacity, and chamber or bath volume.
Cryogenic Boxes for Labs
The Cryogenic Boxes for Labs range supports laboratories that need to heat, cool, incubate, freeze or stabilise samples and processes at defined temperatures. By selecting the appropriate grid divider (from 6x6 to 13x13), a standard LLG-Cryobox can accommodate various tube formats, including cryovials, microtubes, and small reagent bottles.
Cryogenic Racks for Labs
The Cryogenic Racks for Labs range includes instruments, accessories and consumables used to heat, cool, incubate, freeze or stabilise samples and processes at defined temperatures. Upright freezer racks like the Crystal Technology 10x1 models are designed for vertical access, whereas chest freezer racks often feature pull-out handles for top-loading access; always verify the rack orientation for your specific unit.
Cryogenic Storage Tanks for Labs
The Cryogenic Storage Tanks for Labs range includes instruments, accessories and consumables used to heat, cool, incubate, freeze or stabilise samples and processes at defined temperatures. Cryonos distribution vessels (like the LIN25) are typically optimised for pouring and refilling smaller units, while storage containers (like the AC 180-26) are designed for stationary, long-term sample immersion.
Cryovials and Cryogenic Tubes for Labs
The Cryovials and Cryogenic Tubes for Labs range brings together products designed to heat, cool, incubate, freeze or stabilise samples and processes at defined temperatures. Start with the application and sample, then compare pump flow or air circulation, controller and logging options, working temperature range, and heating or cooling capacity.
Laboratory Dewar Flasks
The Laboratory Dewar Flasks range includes instruments, accessories and consumables used to heat, cool, incubate, freeze or stabilise samples and processes at defined temperatures. While highly insulated, these transport vessels (like the Type 26 B) are specifically optimised for safe sample movement and short-term holding; for permanent bulk storage, a dedicated cryogenic storage tank is recommended.
Laboratory Ice Flakers
The Laboratory Ice Flakers range supports laboratories that need to heat, cool, incubate, freeze or stabilise samples and processes at defined temperatures. The Bürkle Snowpack is a specialised tool that connects to a CO2 cylinder to produce small 50g dry ice pellets quickly, which is ideal for applications requiring temperatures as low as -79°C.
Liquid Nitrogen Accessories for Labs
The Liquid Nitrogen Accessories for Labs range brings together products designed to heat, cool, incubate, freeze or stabilise samples and processes at defined temperatures. A phase separator is used during LN2 transfer to vent nitrogen gas while allowing only the liquid to enter the receiving vessel, preventing dangerous splashing and ensuring a more efficient fill.
Ultra-Low Temperature Freezers for Labs
The Ultra-Low Temperature Freezers for Labs range supports laboratories that need to heat, cool, incubate, freeze or stabilise samples and processes at defined temperatures. Arctiko ULUF models are typically upright "Ultra-Low Upright Freezers" designed for easy access and a smaller footprint, while ULTF models are chest-style "Ultra-Low Temperature Freezers" often preferred for larger bulk storage and superior temperature uniformity.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the benefit of 2D barcodes on biobanking tubes?
2D barcodes on the base of Thermo Matrix tubes provide a permanent, machine-readable identifier that cannot be easily rubbed off or lost, ensuring 100% traceability for every sample in your library. Laboratories should compare pump flow or air circulation, controller and logging options, and working temperature range and document the selected setup for consistent use.
Why use colour-coded screw caps in biobanking?
Colour-coded caps (Yellow, Red, Pink, etc.) allow laboratory staff to quickly identify specific sample cohorts or reagent types without needing to scan every individual barcode, significantly speeding up manual workflows. Before ordering, confirm pump flow or air circulation, controller and logging options, and working temperature range and any accessories or consumables needed for routine use.
What is the difference between a colorless tube and a barcoded vial?
A colorless tube refers to the transparency of the plastic (PET or PP) for visual inspection, while "barcoded" indicates the inclusion of a tracking code; most professional biobanking vials, like the Matrix range, offer both high clarity and a 2D barcode. Before ordering, confirm pump flow or air circulation, controller and logging options, and working temperature range and any accessories or consumables needed for routine use.
Are Thermo Matrix tubes suitable for liquid nitrogen storage?
Thermo Matrix tubes are typically designed for ultra-low temperature storage, including the vapour phase of liquid nitrogen, though you should always verify the specific cap and seal type for your temperature requirements. Before ordering, confirm pump flow or air circulation, controller and logging options, and working temperature range and any accessories or consumables needed for routine use.
What should I check before ordering biobanking?
Review pump flow or air circulation, controller and logging options, working temperature range, and heating or cooling capacity, together with expected workload and cleaning or maintenance requirements. A suitable product should fit the full method, not only the immediate task. For biobanking, also check pump flow or air circulation, controller and logging options, and working temperature range so the product fits the complete procedure.
