Sample storage for COVID-19

Many laboratories around the world are finding it difficult to manage sample storage for COVID-19 as the rate of infection keeps rising as a result of the pandemic’s rapid spread. The CAPP Expell^™ cryopreservation product line is outlined in this article as a potential solution to this issue.

CAPP offers up to 23% more storage space for COVID-19 sample storage

The best option for COVID-19 sample storage is provided by CAPP Expell cryo vials and cryoboxes. The external thread, self-standing cryovials are compatible with both the common 9×9 cryoboxes and the special 10×10 cryoboxes, which offer up to 23% more storage space for samples than the 9×9 cryoboxes.

CAPP offers cryoboxes in both plastic (PP) and water-resistant cardboard for COVID-19 sample storage. Both substances can be used repeatedly at temperatures as low as –150 °C. Standard cryoboxes have a small 130 mm × 130 mm footprint and can hold up to 81 cryovials.

The space-saving 10×10 cryoboxes can accommodate up to 100 cryovials without an increase in size. The plastic 10×10 cryoboxes also have slanted edges for quick and precise closing.
