If you're using them for slants, product code LC9025 or LP9025 are what many people use, I find they work very well.

Edit - from proscitech I mean

Do the LC9025 and LP9025 vials come sterile? I guess you guys only use these once?

Doesn't look like they come sterile. They are both autoclavable but beware of LC9025 ----LINKY
LP9025 looks the best.

Anything autoclavable can be used over & over again. A pressure cooker is the next best thing to sterilise your tubes in.
Failing that, you can do what I do & boil the clappers out of them (And the lids) for at least 30 minutes in a pot.

There's another one where Franko found a container that looked OK and then someone else came up with a slightly better alternative, but can't find it at the moment, perhaps a search on Yeast storage would reveal something.

I bought mine from http://www.wiltronics.com.au/catalogue/shop.php?cid=172200. They were very helpful and provided good service. You can also find them on Ebay. Not Affiliated <--- Hmm, do I have to say that every time I recommend someone?
