Avoiding Contamination
What is Cryopreservation?
In simple terms, it is the process of storing biological 
material at ultra-low temperatures (usually at -196 degree 
celsius) in order to preserve it for a long period and stop 
any biological activity it may have during that time.
Now this is different from freezing which might be fatal for 
biological material as it changes the sample chemically 
because of intra- and extracellular ice crystals being 
formed.
Applications of Cryopreservation
This preservation technique finds extensive utility across 
various fields, including molecular biology, Stem cell 
biology, food science, plant physiology, and numerous 
medical applications. Notably, cryopreservation serves as 
a crucial method in:
• Seed Bank: Safeguarding plant genetic diversity and rare seeds.
• Gene Bank: Preserving genetic material for research and 
conservation purposes.
• Blood Transfusion: Ensuring the availability of safe and 
compatible blood for transfusion.
• In Vitro Fertilization: Facilitating assisted reproduction by 
preserving embryos and oocytes.
• Organ Transplantation: Preserving organs for transplantation, 
extending the viability window.
• Storage of Rare Germplasm: Protecting valuable genetic resources 
critical for agriculture and research.
• Freezing of Cell Cultures: Preserving cell lines essential for various 
scientific studies.
• Conservation of Endangered Plant Species: Aiding the preservation 
of threatened plant species.
• Biodiversity Conservation: Contributing to the protection of various 
living organisms and ecosystems
Accumax Cryovials are meticulously 
designed to ensure convenience 
and sample integrity.
With a temperature stability of up to -196 degree celsius, 
Accumax cryovials are designed to maximize ease of use and 
protect sample integrity. Made with US FDA approved raw 
materials, our cryovials are ideal for storing biological 
material in cryopreservation.
Since our beginning in 2003, Accumax has come to become 
one of the largest producers of laboratory consumables 
globally and cater to customers in over 130 countries across 
the world.
Using Cryovials for 
cryopreservation
A cryovial is basically a “vial” or tube that is used to contain the 
biological samples intended for ultra-low temperature storage.
Now, this small container is probably one of the most important 
parts of cryopreservation. The integrity and safety of the 
samples depends highly on the quality of cryovial used. There 
are many things that can go wrong during this time.
• Leakage of the bottle
• Chemical reaction with the cryovial material
• Other types of contamination
•  Loss of identification especially when more than one 
sample is stored.
Basically, the wrong choice of cryovials can result in the 
loss of years of priceless research and valuable 
biological material.
