Cryogenic and Freezer Boxes
Cryogenic and freezer boxes, available in either polycarbonate or water repellent fiberboard, are used to store materials in ultra-low or cryogenic freezers. Typically made from cold-resistant fiberboard or plastic resins, they usually have drainage holes to facilitate removal of melted ice or liquid nitrogen.
Fiberboard freezer boxes can be fitted with dividers that are designed to fit various sizes of tubes ranging from PCR vials to 50-mL centrifuge tubes. Most fiberboard boxes are about 5 inches square with heights (including lids) from 2 to 5 inches.
Polycarbonate cryogenic vial storage boxes can be configured with clear covers for easy sample identification. Plastic cryogenic freezer boxes may have clear covers for easier sample identification. Open or clear bottoms allow for bar code scanning. Lids are also sometimes printed with a grid design and space to note information about the samples in specific positions. Plastic storage boxes may have separate or attached (hinged) lids for convenience.
Cryogenic and freezer boxes are available in assorted colors.
Alternatives to boxes include aluminum storage canes for cryostorage tubes and cell freezing containers for controlled freezing of cell samples.

Electron Microscopy Sciences True North Freezer Box for 15 ml tubes, Natural, 36 Wells
True North freezer boxes (cryo box) are made from a specially formulated corrugated or thin film polypropylene. Designed with sustainability in mind, the polypropylene boxes have superior durability and outlasts the cardboard box alternatives that are susceptible to softening and producing dust. They can freeze down to temperatures of -80°C and thaw multiple times without a problem.
They are moisture resistant, significantly reducing the chance of mold growth. When it comes to saving valuable lab space, True North Flatpack Freezer Boxes are supplied "flat-packed", which eliminates the hassle of stacking and reduces the amount of space needed for test tube storage.
When ready to use, assembly is easy and pre-assembled dividers are included with each box.
