Frequently Asked Questions
What is a cardboard freezing box used for in the laboratory?
A cardboard freezing box stores cryogenic vials, sample tubes, and centrifuge tubes at temperatures from -196°C to +121°C. Laboratories use these boxes inside mechanical freezers, liquid nitrogen dewars, and cryogenic storage systems to keep biological samples organized and protected during long-term storage.
Can cardboard freezing boxes be used in liquid nitrogen?
Yes. Globe Scientific cardboard freezing boxes feature a liquid-resistant coating and drainage holes specifically designed for liquid nitrogen environments. The coating prevents the cardboard from softening during repeated freeze-thaw cycles, and drainage holes eliminate dangerous liquid nitrogen pooling inside the box.
What tube sizes fit the Globe Scientific 3090 freezing box?
The 3090 freezing box accommodates tubes up to 2 inches tall and 15mm in diameter in a 64-place (8x8) grid. Compatible tubes include 1.0mL and 2.0mL CryoCLEAR vials, standard cryogenic storage vials, and similarly sized sample tubes. LabSupplies.com also carries 81-place and 100-place formats for narrower tubes.
