Cryocanes – Laboratory Supplies

 

Cryocanes don’t usually get much attention, but anyone working with liquid nitrogen storage knows how important they are. They keep cryovials and visotubes organised, upright, and easy to retrieve which matters a lot when you’re reaching into a tank at –196°C and trying to pull out the right sample without delays.

Here’s the thing: ultra-low temperature work leaves no room for hesitation. Every extra second a sample spends out of the tank increases the risk of temperature change. A good cryocane helps you move quickly and confidently. It holds your tubes in a fixed position, reduces fumbling, and keeps your workflow consistent from one retrieval to the next.

All our cryocanes are made from materials built to handle repeated immersion in liquid nitrogen. They don’t become brittle, they don’t warp, and they sit securely within the storage canisters of your cryogenic tank. We offer several designs to match different vial sizes and layouts, so whether you’re storing 0.25 ml straws, 2 ml cryovials, or visotubes, you’ll find a cane that fits your system properly.

In practice, a good set of cryocanes makes everyday tasks easier. You can load, unload, and rotate samples with minimal disturbance, which helps maintain consistency in IVF labs, biobanks, research facilities, and clinical environments where precision is everything.

Choosing the right cryocane simply comes down to the type of tubes you use and how your tank is configured. If your setup is growing or you’re reorganising your inventory, upgrading your canes can immediately improve accessibility and overall handling. Explore our full range to find the cane that matches your storage system. Reliable, organised, and built for long-term use  that’s exactly what you want when you’re managing valuable biological material in liquid nitrogen.
