15ml ProtectR® Dry Ice Storage Tubes in IntegraPack®, 10 per Bag, Sterile

ProtectR^® Dry Ice Storage Tubes are the ideal vessel for primary and secondary sample containment. Samples are shipped on dry ice in a variety of volumes. Samples of proteins, other biological molecules, and cell cultures are commonly shipped and stored on dry ice, putting them at risk of acidification by up to 2.5 pH units. In standard centrifuge tubes, CO₂ vapour from dry ice enters the tube headspace and causes a significant drop in the pH of the sample.

Even in short-term storage conditions, samples may become acidified. This acidification can affect the integrity and reproducibility of samples and may result in a loss of protein activity. Labcon ProtectR^® Dry Ice Storage Tubes prevent CO₂ acidification when storing or shipping samples with Dry Ice.

Most international and domestic carriers now require adherence to the IATA standards for all biological substance shipments. IATA 95 kPa certification ensures containers are leak-resistant under differential pressure conditions such as in air transport. This certification requires containers to prove capable of withstanding, without leakage, an internal pressure producing a pressure differential of not less than 95 kPa (0.95 bar, 13.8 psi).

ProtectR^® Dry Ice Storage Tubes can be used as secondary shipping tubes for multiple small-volume tubes. With their airtight, leak-resistant secure seal, ProtectR^® Dry Ice Storage Tubes provide a protective barrier against CO₂ exposure, safeguarding the sample inside from costly damage. Only ProtectR^® Dry Ice Tubes ensure consistent sample integrity and protein activity across experiments. Even if samples are delayed during shipping, they will not become compromised, saving time and money.

ProtectR^® Dry Ice Storage Tubes feature Labcon’s patented labelling spot that helps to reduce the smearing of lab markers at the same time protects sample labelling from damage during storage or procedures. ProtectR^® Dry Ice Storage Tubes are available in Labcon’s exclusive 10-tube IntegraPack^® packaging. And like all Labcon’s sterile products they only use medical grade packaging and sterilise following a validated ISO 11137 medical grade method to an SAL of 10^-6.
