Organization systems for refrigerators/freezers Cryoboxes made of polycarbonate
Cryoboxes made of polycarbonate are used for the systematic organisation and secure storage of sample tubes in freezers. These robust boxes are specifically tailored to the dimensions of 1.5 ml to 2.0 ml microtubes and support users in research and diagnostics with archiving. The transparent structure and integrated markings accelerate sample access in daily laboratory work.

Properties and use of polycarbonate cryoboxes
Cryoboxes made of polycarbonate (PC) are characterised by high mechanical stability and resistance to low temperatures. Compared to cardboard versions, they are particularly resistant to moisture and mechanical stress. The boxes are designed for long-term sample storage in refrigerators and freezers and offer protection for sensitive contents.
Grid variants and capacities
The selection of the appropriate box depends on the required sample capacity. Models with a 9x9 grid offer space for 81 tubes, while versions with a 10x10 grid can hold up to 100 tubes. Both variants are optimised for tube sizes from 1.5 ml to 2.0 ml and feature a standardised height of 50 mm.
Organisation through coding and colour systems
For clear identification of stored samples, the cryoboxes feature numeric coding. This facilitates documentation and the retrieval of specific sample locations. Delivery is in practical packaging units of 20 boxes, which contain an assortment of five different colours, allowing for additional visual categorisation.
Compatibility with laboratory organisation systems
Due to their standardised external dimensions, these PC boxes are compatible with a variety of freezer racks and chest racks. They can be seamlessly integrated into existing organisation systems for 50 mm high boxes. This ensures maximum space utilisation in freezer models from well-known manufacturers such as Haier, Panasonic, Thermo Herafreeze or Forma.
Frequently asked questions about cryoboxes made of polycarbonate
Here you will find answers to technical questions regarding the storage and selection of polycarbonate boxes for cryotechnology.
What are polycarbonate cryoboxes primarily used for?
They are used for the organised storage of 1.5 ml to 2.0 ml sample tubes in laboratory freezers. The polycarbonate material ensures high stability at low temperatures.
Which grid is best suited for 1.5 ml tubes?
Depending on the desired packing density, one can choose between a 9x9 grid for 81 tubes or a 10x10 grid for 100 tubes, provided the tube diameter allows it.
What is the advantage of PC boxes over cardboard boxes?
Polycarbonate is water-repellent, more durable and offers better visual control due to its transparency. In addition, PC boxes are often equipped with a permanently integrated numeric coding.
Do these cryoboxes fit into standard freezer racks?
Yes, with a height of 50 mm, these boxes correspond to the common standard dimension and can be inserted into corresponding rack and drawer systems.
How is sample identification supported?
Identification is carried out via printed or embossed numeric coding on the grid as well as through the use of different box colours within a delivery unit.
Are the boxes suitable for storage in the gas phase of liquid nitrogen?
Polycarbonate boxes are generally designed for very low temperature ranges, as are common in research and cryopreservation, although the material suitability of the tubes used must always be considered.
