Cryogenic Vials and Tubes Market Overview

The global cryogenic vials and tubes market is expected to increase at a growth rate of around ~5.5% to 6.5% during the forecast period. The rapid development of the healthcare facilities such as, hospitals and pharmaceutical companies in India is the factor bolstering the growth of the cryogenic vials and tubes market in Asia Pacific region.

Global Cryogenic Vials and Tubes Market: Market Outlook

Cryogenic vials and tubes are the types of pharmaceutical packaging containers which are used to store biological samples at extreme low temperature, which can be as low as -196° C. The biological samples are stored or preserved with the help of liquid nitrogen, which can stand extreme temperatures without compromising the samples.

Cryogenic vials and tubes are constructed from non-mutagenic plastic resins, non-cytotoxic plastics and therefore are pyrogen free. Majority of the cryogenic vials and tubes have screw-style closure which helps the vials and tubes to stand extreme temperature and air pressure. Cryogenic vials and tubes have either external or internal threads which helps to maintain the concentration of the sample.

 Cryogenic tubes are also provided with the writing and marking area which can be used to identify the sample. Colour coding markers or caps on the cryogenic tubes are also used to identify the sample.

What are the Key Trends Impacting Growth of the Cryogenic Vials and Tubes Market? 

The automated processing and dispensing of the multiple vials in parallel instead of manual processing and dispensing is increasing the quality and consistency of the cryogenic vials and tubes and also avoids occupational injuries.

The alternative vial dispensing systems which makes the use of peristaltic pumps to fill the vials which reduces the shear damage and regulates viability before and after freezing.

Therefore, the automated cryovial processing equipment not only decreases the manual work but also increases the quality of the biological sample packing in the cryogenic vials.

How is the Demand for Cryogenic Vials and Tubes Increasing as compared to the Centrifugal Tubes? 

Cryogenic vials and tubes are used to store the biological samples in the extreme lower temperature for the longer time. Centrifugal tubes cannot be used to store the sample for the longer time as they have the risk of breaking the vial or the tube.

Also, the cryogenic vials and tubes provide better stability to the biological sample especially RNA samples owing to the tight closure of the vial and stabilized storage of sample in the extreme low temperatures.

The tight closure of the vial or the tube restricts the evaporation of the biological sample from the container, which is mostly preferred over the centrifugal tubes. Unlike the centrifugal tubes, the cryogenic vials does not need to autoclave for the sterilization.

Cryogenic vials can be sterilized using the gamma radiations which are then packed in the tamper-proof and re-sealable safety-lock bags.

What are the Key Challenges that may restrain the Growth of the Cryogenic Vials and Tubes Market? 

The manufacturing of the cryogenic vials and tubes is a very sensitive process and needs the extra sensitive handling while storing the biological sample. The improper filling of liquid nitrogen gas can lead to generate the pressure during thawing in the cryogenic vial which can then lead to change the biological properties of the sample or may destroy the sample.

Also, if the liquid phase storage is necessary, the cryogenic heat shrink tubing is required to encase the cryogenic vial.
