Cryolab’s Trusted Tools for IVF and Biobanking

In an IVF lab, the smallest detail can make the biggest difference. Mislabel one sample or waste time searching for the right straw, and the entire process is at risk. That’s why having a smart, reliable system for cryogenic storage is critical.

Cryolab supplies a complete range of trusted tools from Cryo Bio System designed to simplify sample management without compromising safety. When used together, CBS Visotubes, ID Rods and Daisy Goblets form the backbone of a clean, organised and compliant cryostorage workflow. Here’s how they work and why they matter.

Visotubes Keep Everything Visible and Organised

CBS Visotubes are clear cylindrical containers made from PETG. They’re built to hold cryogenic straws securely inside liquid nitrogen tanks. What makes them so useful is their transparency. You can see exactly what’s inside without pulling them out of cold storage.

They come in multiple sizes to suit different straw formats including 0.25ml, 0.5ml and CBS High Security Straws. Some labs prefer colour-coded Visotubes to quickly group samples by patient or storage date. It makes sample retrieval quicker and cleaner, especially when time is tight.

ID Rods Add Instant Reliable Labelling

Now take that Visotube and slide in a CBS ID Rod. Suddenly you’ve got a clear visual marker that won’t fade, smudge or fall off in liquid nitrogen. Each ID Rod is colour-coded and slim enough to fit right into the tube without taking up valuable space.

This kind of built-in labelling is a game changer. It simplifies tracking, helps meet legal traceability standards and reduces the chance of errors in high-pressure environments.

Daisy Goblets Keep Samples Secure and Accessible

The Daisy Goblet looks simple but its design is smart. It holds individual straws upright in a circular layout so you can grab one without disturbing the others. That’s key during embryo thawing or any time-sensitive procedure.

Keeping straws upright also helps avoid cross-contamination and makes better use of space inside the tank. You get faster access, fewer handling errors and cleaner workflows.

A System That Works From Clinics to Cryobanks

Each of these tools—Visotubes, ID Rods and Daisy Goblets—is useful on its own. But used together they create a full cryogenic storage system that’s built for real-world demands. Whether you’re a small IVF clinic or a large-scale storage centre, this setup gives you better organisation, faster access and greater confidence in your sample management.
