Heathrow HS23210 PVC Cryocan Sleeve Pack of 100 Clear Cryogenic Safe

Description

Product Overview

The Heathrow HS23210 PVC Cryocan Sleeve is engineered for laboratory environments where reliable cryogenic sample handling is essential. Constructed from high‑clarity polyvinyl chloride, each sleeve provides a transparent barrier that lets technicians view sample labels and contents without disturbing the protective cover. At 275 mm in length, the sleeves accommodate a wide range of tube sizes and are compatible with standard cryocan formats used in molecular biology, chemistry, and materials science research. The material is specifically formulated to remain flexible at temperatures well below –80 °C, ensuring that the sleeve does not become brittle or crack during extreme cold storage. This durability is complemented by a smooth interior surface that minimizes friction, reducing the risk of sample breakage when inserting or removing tubes. The product is supplied in a convenient pack of 100, allowing laboratories to stock sufficient inventory for routine workflows, bulk orders, or emergency replacements. Manufacturer Thomas Scientific has a long history of delivering high‑quality lab equipment, and the HS23210 model reflects their commitment to precision, safety, and user‑friendly design.

Usage

These Cryocan sleeves are ideal for any application that requires secure cryogenic storage, including long‑term sample archiving, high‑throughput screening, and temperature‑sensitive assay preparation. Researchers working with DNA, RNA, protein extracts, or volatile chemical reagents will appreciate the clear visual access that eliminates the need to remove the sleeve for label verification, thereby preserving the integrity of the low‑temperature environment. The sleeves perform reliably in standard laboratory freezers, ultra‑low temperature freezers, and liquid nitrogen dewars, making them versatile across a range of cooling equipment. Because the PVC material is chemically inert, it does not react with common solvents or reagents, ensuring that sample purity is maintained. The ergonomic design also facilitates easy handling with standard pipettes and tube racks, reducing operator fatigue during repetitive tasks. Whether the laboratory is a small academic bench or a large industrial research facility, the HS23210 sleeves provide a cost‑effective solution for protecting valuable cryogenic specimens.
