cbs tissue straw

CBS High Security Tissue Straw

Description / Use

Cryopreservation of tissue fragments.
Sterilized by irradiation.
Individually packaged in blister of 20 units.

Identification

The CBS™ High Security tissue straws can be identified by using LN2 resistant labels.

Filling and Sealing
Filling and sealing of the straw should be done in a controlled environment, such as a laminar flow hood.

  • Prepare the identification label and apply it on the outside of the CBS™ High Security tissue 2 mL straw
  • Holding the straw near the jaws, seal one extremity of the straw with the sealer SYMS equipped with the special guide for CBSTM High Security tissue 2 mL straws or SYMS III
  • Using a tong, carefully deposit the tissue fragment(s) into the straw, according to laboratory protocol (fragments or wrapped pieces)
  • Holding the straw near the jaws, seal the other extremity of the straw with the SYMS or SYMS III sealing systems.

Storage in liquid nitrogen

Cryo Bio System carries a line of accessories for storage and management of CBS™ straws in liquid nitrogen.

cbs heigh security tube

CBS High Security Tube

The unique fully secured system for storage in liquid nitrogen.

Description / Use

Maintaining sample integrity during cryopreservation is a key consideration for research success, today and for the future.

Since its founding, Cryo Bio System has been committed to developing products which help facilitate the highest quality and security of biological samples during cryopreservation. The CBS High Security Tube eliminates concerns related to cross-contamination and sample degradation related to oxidation and evaporation. Once sealed, the CBS High Security Tube eliminates concerns related to cross-contamination and sample degradation related to oxidation and evaporation. Once sealed, the CBS High Security Tube can be stored in widely available storage boxes and current storage systems. The High Security resin material is compatible with cryogenic storage temperatures from -80℃ to LN2.

    Full Safety

  • Full seals eliminate risk of cross-contamination of the specimen or its environment.
  • Validated as leak-proof and shatter-proof in all cryogenic temperatures including temperatures as low as LN2 liquid phase.
  • Indestructible under normal conditions of use.

    Full Traceability

  • Colored inserts for simple identification in cryogenic environments.
  • RFID cryoresistant chips integrated inside inserts.
  • 2D data matrix coded inserts.
  • Compatible with cryoresistant labels.

    Full Compatibility

  • Standard racks, boxes (9×9 or 10×10), canes.
  • Manual and automated filling systems.
  • Controlled-rate freezers.
  • Cryogenic storage conditions for use in liquid nitrogen, vapor phase, mechanical freezerss.

High Quality Cryopreservation

All CBS containers are developed to optimize cryopreservation of valuable samples. CBS High Security tubes benefit from the CBS High Security straw concept expertise in materials and manufacturing. Thermal seal of CBS containers enables direct and complete immersion in liquid nitrogen. A variety of identification solutions available without impairing the quality of the samples through temperature changes.
