-1℃(-33.8℉) Cell Freezing Container for 2ml Vials – Maccx Foam Core

Description

Product Overview

The -1℃ Cell Freezing Container is a purpose‑built laboratory accessory that accommodates twelve 2 ml cryogenic vials in a single, compact unit. Constructed from cross‑linked polyethylene foam, the container offers a non‑absorbent matrix that safeguards samples from moisture and contamination. At the heart of the design lies a solid metal core—a precision‑engineered ring that stabilizes temperature gradients and ensures uniform cooling across all vials. The container measures 4.88 × 4.76 × 4.49 inches and weighs only 6.38 ounces, making it easy to handle, transport, and store within standard lab freezers. Its robust construction meets the rigorous demands of cell biology, stem‑cell research, and biobanking, delivering reproducible freezing profiles without the need for alcohol or other liquid cryogens.

Usage

Designed for use in research laboratories, biorepositories, and clinical‑grade cell processing facilities, this container fits seamlessly into existing -1℃ (‑33.8℉) freezer shelves. Users simply place the vials into the pre‑molded foam wells, close the lid, and insert the unit into the freezer. The solid metal core conducts heat efficiently, allowing the entire batch of vials to reach the target temperature at the same rate, which minimizes thermal shock and maximizes post‑thaw viability. Because the system is alcohol‑free, there is no risk of volatile organic compound exposure, and the overall cost of operation is significantly lower than traditional alcohol‑based freezing racks. The container is compatible with standard 2 ml cryogenic vials, making it a versatile solution for a wide range of cell types, including primary cells, stem cells, and engineered cell lines.

Why Choose Us

Our commitment to quality begins with the selection of cross‑linked polyethylene foam, a material known for its chemical inertness and durability. The foam does not absorb liquids, ensuring that the surrounding environment remains free of contaminants that could compromise sample integrity. The solid metal core is fabricated from a high‑grade alloy that resists corrosion and maintains structural integrity over thousands of freeze‑thaw cycles. Each container undergoes rigorous testing to verify temperature uniformity, mechanical strength, and biocompatibility. In addition, Maccx provides responsive technical support and a clear warranty policy, giving laboratories confidence that their investment will deliver consistent performance over the long term.

FAQ

Can this container be used with vials larger than 2 ml?

The container is specifically molded for 2 ml vials, which are the most common size in cell‑freezing workflows. Using larger vials may result in an imperfect fit and could affect temperature uniformity.

Is the foam reusable after thawing?

Yes, the polyethylene foam can be cleaned with a mild detergent and reused multiple times, provided it is inspected for any physical damage before each use.

What freezer temperature range is recommended?

The product is optimized for -1℃ (‑33.8℉) freezers, but it also performs well in standard -20℃ to -80℃ laboratory freezers, maintaining consistent freezing profiles across that range.

How does the solid metal core improve cell recovery?

The metal core minimizes temperature gradients, reducing thermal stress on cells during the freezing process. This leads to higher post‑thaw viability and better overall recovery rates.

What warranty does Maccx offer?

Maccx provides a one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects and offers technical assistance throughout the product’s lifecycle.
