Corning 432006 Cool Cell FTS30 Freezing Container for 30 x 1 ml or 2 ml Cryogenic Vials, Purple

Description

Product Overview

The Corning Cool Cell FTS30 Freezing Container is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of modern laboratory environments where sample integrity and reliable temperature control are paramount. Constructed from a high‑impact, UV‑stable polymer in a distinctive purple hue, the container offers both visual identification and robust protection against accidental drops or knocks. Its internal layout is precisely sized to accommodate thirty standard 1 ml or 2 ml cryogenic vials, providing a snug fit that minimizes movement during freezer cycles. The container dimensions of 12 × 12 × 12 inches and a weight of 12 lb make it easy to handle while still offering sufficient volume for bulk storage. Designed for compatibility with standard laboratory freezers, the FTS30 integrates seamlessly into existing storage racks, allowing technicians to maximize space efficiency without compromising accessibility.

Usage

In biobanking facilities, the FTS30 serves as a reliable repository for precious biological specimens, including DNA, RNA, cell lines, and protein extracts. Its insulated walls reduce thermal gradients, ensuring that each vial experiences a uniform temperature throughout the storage period. Researchers conducting long‑term studies can rely on the container to preserve sample viability, while clinical laboratories benefit from the clear labeling options that facilitate rapid identification during high‑throughput workflows. The container is also well‑suited for academic labs that require a cost‑effective solution for storing multiple small‑volume samples, as its reusable design eliminates the need for disposable storage alternatives. Whether placed in a -80 °C ultra‑low freezer or a standard -20 °C unit, the FTS30 maintains the cryogenic environment essential for preserving the biological activity of stored materials.
