ConductScience Cryogenic Boxes, 100-Place, Cardboard (Bulk 20-Pack)
$28.00 per unit | 20 units per pack Bulk pricing: Bulk 20-Pack at $560.00 ($28.00 per unit)
ConductScience Cryogenic Boxes provide reliable sample storage at ultra-low temperatures down to -196°C. These 100-place cardboard boxes feature waterproof coating and integrated dividers for organized storage of cryovials, microtubes, and other laboratory containers. The economical design supports bulk storage requirements while maintaining sample integrity under cryogenic conditions.
Each box accommodates 100 samples in a grid format with removable dividers for flexible organization. The waterproof coating protects against condensation and ice formation during freeze-thaw cycles. These storage boxes are compatible with standard laboratory freezers, liquid nitrogen storage systems, and ultra-low temperature freezers commonly used in research facilities.
How It Works
Cryogenic storage boxes maintain sample integrity through controlled organization and thermal protection during ultra-low temperature storage. The cardboard construction provides thermal insulation while the waterproof coating creates a moisture barrier that prevents ice crystal formation and sample contamination. The 100-place grid system with removable dividers allows systematic sample arrangement and easy identification.
During cryogenic storage, the box structure maintains sample separation and prevents cross-contamination while withstanding thermal stress from temperature cycling. The waterproof coating remains flexible at -196°C, maintaining seal integrity throughout freeze-thaw cycles. This design supports both liquid nitrogen storage systems and mechanical ultra-low temperature freezers.

Comparison Guide
| Feature | This Product | Typical Alternative | Advantage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Temperature Range | Withstands -196°C for liquid nitrogen storage | Basic models may be limited to mechanical freezer temperatures only | Supports both liquid nitrogen and ultra-low mechanical freezer storage systems. |
| Moisture Protection | Waterproof coating prevents condensation damage | Standard cardboard boxes often lack moisture barriers | Protects samples from ice crystal formation and contamination during thermal cycling. |
| Organization System | 100-place capacity with removable dividers | Fixed configurations often provide less flexibility | Accommodates various container types and research workflow requirements. |
| Construction Material | Coated cardboard for economical storage | Plastic alternatives offer higher durability but increased cost | Cost-effective solution for bulk storage applications with adequate thermal performance. |
These cryogenic storage boxes offer systematic 100-place organization with waterproof protection for temperatures to -196°C. The removable divider system and economical cardboard construction provide flexible, cost-effective storage for high-volume research applications.
Practical Tips
Pre-cool boxes gradually before placing in liquid nitrogen storage to minimize thermal shock and prevent coating damage.
Why: Rapid temperature changes can compromise the waterproof coating and box structural integrity.
Inspect waterproof coating regularly for cracks or damage that could allow moisture infiltration.
Why: Coating integrity is essential for preventing ice crystal formation and sample contamination.
Use cryogenic-compatible labels and markers that remain adhesive and legible at ultra-low temperatures.
Why: Standard labels may fail at -196°C, leading to sample identification errors and inventory problems.
Handle frozen boxes with appropriate cryogenic gloves to prevent cold burns and maintain grip control.
Why: Direct contact with cryogenic-temperature surfaces can cause immediate tissue damage.
Maintain detailed inventory records of sample positions within the 100-place grid for accurate tracking.
Why: Systematic documentation prevents sample mix-ups and enables efficient retrieval in research workflows.
Replace boxes showing signs of coating deterioration or structural damage from thermal cycling.
Why: Compromised boxes may allow contamination or sample degradation during long-term storage.

Compliance
What sample container sizes are compatible with the 100-place configuration?
The removable divider system accommodates standard cryovials, microtubes, and similar laboratory containers. Consult product datasheet for specific dimensional compatibility with your container types.
How does the waterproof coating perform during repeated freeze-thaw cycles?
The coating maintains flexibility and seal integrity at -196°C through multiple thermal cycles, preventing ice crystal formation and moisture infiltration during normal laboratory use.
Are these boxes compatible with automated sample storage systems?
Box dimensions and construction should be verified for compatibility with specific automated storage and retrieval systems. Standard sizes typically fit most laboratory freezer configurations.
What is the expected service life in continuous cryogenic storage?
Service life depends on handling frequency and storage conditions. Proper handling and gradual temperature changes extend box lifespan in continuous ultra-low temperature storage.
Can dividers be reconfigured for different sample arrangements?
Yes, the removable divider system allows flexible reconfiguration to accommodate various sample container sizes and organizational requirements within the 100-place format.
How do these boxes compare to plastic alternatives for cryogenic storage?
Cardboard construction provides economical bulk storage with adequate thermal performance, while plastic alternatives typically offer enhanced durability and reusability at higher cost.
