Frequently Asked Questions
What size microcentrifuge tubes fit the Globe Scientific 3056?
The 3056 freezer box is designed specifically for 1.5mL and 2.0mL microcentrifuge tubes. Each of the 50 wells in the 5x10 grid securely holds standard microcentrifuge tubes upright, preventing tipping during storage and retrieval in laboratory freezers.
Is this freezer box autoclavable?
Polypropylene freezer boxes can generally withstand autoclave temperatures up to +121°C. However, repeated autoclaving may affect the dimensional precision of the wells over time. For applications requiring routine sterilization, verify specific autoclave compatibility with Globe Scientific's technical documentation.
What is the difference between the 3056 and 3057 freezer boxes?
The 3056 holds 50 microcentrifuge tubes (1.5mL and 2.0mL) in a 5x10 format, while the 3057 holds 21 tubes (5.0mL) in a 7x3 format. Both are constructed from clear polypropylene with lids included. Select based on the tube volume your laboratory uses most frequently.
