Precision cut-outs secure vial positioning between the flexible cushions of the Barkey plasmatherm C&G and Barkey varitherm. In addition to preventing unwanted movement, the Barkey vialguard itself conforms to the cushions to ensure proper heat transfer to the vials.

Most commercially available cryovials and vials are compatible, and this silicone mat can accommodate single to multiple vials at once to increase throughput.

The Barkey vialguard can withstand most cleaning procedures and sanitizing reagents. With extreme ease of use and consistency, the Barkey vialguard is easily written into any thawing SOP.
