Cryopreservation Starts with the Right Tools

 

 

When it comes to cryopreservation, the smallest detail can make or break the integrity of biological samples. That’s why the tools used in the process must meet the highest standards of precision and sterility. CBS (Cryo Bio System) has developed a suite of accessories designed specifically to support the secure handling and preservation of delicate biological material. Among these, the CBS Sterile Filling Nozzles and CBS Sterile Syringe Connectors stand out for their critical roles in manual filling procedures involving CBS High Security Straws.

The CBS Sterile Filling Nozzles are engineered to ensure precise and contamination-free delivery of biological fluids into CBS High Security Straws. These nozzles offer a tight and accurate fit, minimizing waste and eliminating the risk of exposure to contaminants during filling. Their design supports consistent volume control, which is essential when working with limited or sensitive biological material such as sperm, embryos, stem cells, or other cell lines intended for cryogenic storage.

What makes these filling nozzles indispensable is their compatibility with standard laboratory procedures while adding an extra layer of security. They are pre-sterilized and individually packaged, meaning each unit is ready to use out of the box without any additional preparation. This not only improves workflow efficiency but also enhances biosafety by removing potential sources of contamination.

Complementing the nozzles are the CBS Sterile Syringe Connectors, which play a vital role in enabling an aseptic and secure connection between syringes and CBS straws. These connectors are designed to maintain a closed and sterile path throughout the filling process. Their secure locking system ensures that no fluid escapes or backflows during transfer, maintaining the integrity of both the sample and the container.

In practical terms, the connectors improve handling and reduce the manual dexterity required in an already delicate procedure. They’re particularly useful in labs where manual precision is critical and where automation isn’t viable. Like the filling nozzles, these connectors come pre-sterilized and are meant for single use, supporting rigorous quality control standards in cryopreservation workflows.

Together, the CBS Sterile Filling Nozzles and Syringe Connectors form a seamless and sterile manual filling solution tailored to the demands of modern biobanking and assisted reproductive technology. They allow scientists and clinicians to focus on their sample quality and outcomes confident in the tools that help safeguard them every step of the way.
