Frequently Asked Questions
What tube sizes fit the Globe Scientific 3057 freezer box?
The 3057 is designed specifically for 5.0mL microcentrifuge tubes arranged in a 21-place (7x3) grid. The larger well diameter accommodates the wider body of 5.0mL tubes that cannot fit in standard 81-place or 100-place freezer boxes designed for 1.5mL tubes.
How many 3057 boxes fit in a standard freezer rack?
The 3057 shares the same external footprint as other Globe Scientific PP freezer boxes, fitting standard freezer rack shelf positions. Rack capacity depends on your specific rack model and shelf spacing. Most standard vertical freezer racks accommodate 4-9 boxes per shelf tier.
Is the 3057 compatible with automated storage systems?
The 3057 uses standard freezer box dimensions compatible with most manual and semi-automated cold storage retrieval systems. For fully automated robotic storage, verify dimensional compatibility with your system manufacturer. LabSupplies.com can provide detailed dimensional specifications upon request.
