An embodiment in accordance with the present invention is directed to a device for use as a cryosyringe and a cryo-storage vial. The device includes a first end and a second end and has an outer wall defining a lumen between the first and second ends. Both the first end and the second end include threads configured for attaching a first cap to the first end and a second cap to the second end. The device can also include a syringe plunger adapter, such that the cryo-storage vial is convertible into a cryosyringe to ensure sterility of the contents. Similarly, a luer-lock adapter can be included to further convert the device into a cryosyringe. The device and its components are formed from a cryo-resistant material. The device can therefore withstand liquid nitrogen temperatures necessary to preserve cell viability and be injected without compromising sterility to dispense the cellular therapy.
