Wheaton (Millville, NJ, USA) provides high performance specialty containers to scientists and drug developers. The company is expanding its solutions-oriented product line to address the specific needs of the clinical laboratory. Clinical lab products that will be featured at AACC 2014 include vials specially designed for the cryopreservation of tissue samples, high precision chromatography vials, and vials eliminating 99% of residual waste for high value reagents.

CryoElite tissue vials are designed for the safe, secure, and effective cryopreservation of biological tissue specimens, which are essential for advances in biomedical research and have demanding requirements for cryogenic storage. They provide researchers and clinicians a uniform vial that maintains sample integrity while maximizing storage capacity and organization. They were developed for the high performance tissue banking requirements of anatomical pathology departments, clinical trial organizations, and biorepository and biobanking facilities.

MicroLiter chromatography vials are Class 10,000 clean room packed, making them a good choice for clinical Limit of Detection (LOD)/Limit of Quantitation (LOQ) assays, limited quantity specimens and unknown targets. They offer and high precision, versatility, and are easy-to-use. They were designed to the tightest tolerances to ensure that they exceed all autosampler specifications. The MicroLiter MPSS allows for robotic liquid handling with the “uLmat” that eliminates leakage and cross contamination between wells.

The line of high recovery vials has a special interior bottom design, allowing for maximum retrieval of contents and enabling more tests to be conducted from a single vial, providing greater resource efficiency for in vitro diagnostics and diagnostic kits. They are designed for manual or automated handling and storage, and are especially useful for high value reagents and samples, reducing product waste by 99% and enabling full product retrieval without the need to overfill.
