Frequently Asked Questions
Which vials fit each freezing box format?
The 2" 100-place box (3092-1) accommodates 1.0mL and 2.0mL CryoCLEAR vials. All 3" boxes (81-, 64-, and 100-place) accommodate 3.0mL, 4.0mL, and 5.0mL CryoCLEAR vials.
Are these boxes rated for ultra-low temperatures?
Yes. The coated cardboard construction is suitable for mechanical -80°C freezers and liquid-nitrogen vapor-phase storage. Keep boxes dry, since repeated saturation degrades cardboard integrity.
What does the difference between SKU 3094Y-1 and 3094Y mean?
Both are yellow 8x8 64-place 3" boxes. SKU 3094Y-1 is priced per single box, while SKU 3094Y is supplied as a case, reflected in its higher per-pack price.
Why choose color-coded boxes?
White and yellow options let labs visually segregate samples by study, protocol, or sample type at a glance, reducing retrieval errors in high-density freezer racks.
