How are you handling your cryovials?

Damaging the biological material can cost you a lot of money. CryoHolder is made specially to eliminate every risk that comes with transferring frozen biological material.

What can go wrong by using these methods:

  • Cryovials easily fall off
  • Process is slow 
  • Biological material can thaw
  • No dexterity
  • Frostbites on fingers
  • Hard to pick up a vial

About the CryoHolder

The CryoHolder is a unique tool on the market that enables you quick, more efficient, and safe transfer of frozen cryovials. The tool is made out of aluminium so it can withstand big temperature changes; from -196 °C in liquid nitrogen up to 121 °C in the autoclave. The tool is compatible with all major cryovial types. You can get one for your lab quickly and skip the quotation process on the official CryoHolder website:

More efficient and safe to use

The CryoHolder’s ergonomic design allows faster workflow, eliminates both frostbite and damage to the biological material while making the transfer more efficient.

Nearly indestructible

The CryoHolder is made out of aluminium, which enables working with liquid nitrogen as well as sterilising it in the autoclave at 121°C. It is also resistant to mechanical damage that may occur during the work process.

Faster workflow

The CryoHolder allows you to work faster, as you can easily pick up cryovials and move them around. Compared to using tweezers or forceps, the CryoHolder helps you complete the task 55% faster, thus making sure the biological sample doesn’t thaw.
