Frequently Asked Questions
What vials fit the BioBOX 100?
This box is dimensioned for 1.0 mL and 2.0 mL internal-threaded CryoCLEAR vials, seating 100 vials in a 10x10 grid with individual cell separators.
Can the box withstand liquid nitrogen and ultra-low freezers?
Yes. Polycarbonate construction is designed for cryogenic storage, including vapor-phase LN2 and −80°C mechanical freezers, while maintaining structural rigidity.
Why are five colors offered?
Yellow, white, red, green, and blue options let labs color-code by project, donor cohort, or sample type, reducing retrieval errors in densely populated freezer racks.
Is the box compatible with standard freezer racks?
The 100-vial footprint follows the common cryo-box format used across most upright and chest-freezer rack systems and inventory drawers.
