Choose a vertical sample organization format
Organize cryogenic vials along an aluminum cane for controlled placement and retrieval in an appropriate dewar system.
Choose a vertical sample organization format
A cane keeps a short sequence of vials together rather than distributing them across a box. The aluminum structure can be adjusted to the vial profile, and the manufacturer describes use in freezer storage and in liquid or vapor-phase liquid-nitrogen systems. That flexibility does not make every vial suitable for immersion: the vial itself must be approved for the intended storage phase.
Count the positions and check the whole system
HS23205 holds five vials and is 29 cm long; HS23206 holds six and is 30 cm long. The extra position changes the working organization, while dewar depth, withdrawal clearance and the selected vial dimensions still need to be checked together. The current ordering table lists 1.5/2.0 mL tubes but also has an inconsistent 5 mL capacity note for the six-position cane. Confirm close-fit vial selection before ordering rather than interpreting that note as universal 5 mL compatibility.
Keep retrieval and identification practical
Use a consistent position order for the vials and record how that order relates to your inventory system. The manufacturer close-up shows how a vial is retained along the cane; it is a product view, not evidence that every cap or tube geometry will engage identically. A separate cane sleeve is a related storage component, not included simply because it appears in a workflow. Each pack supplies 12 canes in the selected position count.
Order the intended pack
HS23205: 5 Vials — Pack of 12. HS23206: 6 Vials — Pack of 12.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many canes are supplied?
One pack contains 12 canes in the selected capacity.
What is the difference between the options?
HS23205 is a five-vial, 29 cm cane; HS23206 is a six-vial, 30 cm cane.
Can any vial be immersed in liquid nitrogen?
No. Only use vials specifically approved for the intended liquid or vapor-phase storage conditions.
Do the canes fit all 5 mL vials?
That fit is not established. The source has conflicting size information for the six-position cane; confirm your actual vial geometry.
What is the construction?
The canes are aluminum.
Are sleeves part of this order?
The stated unit is the pack of canes. Cane sleeves are a separate related product.
What clearance should I consider?
Check cane length, vial arrangement, dewar depth and the space needed to withdraw the cane safely.
