Description The 2 mL 5-compartment polypropylene (PP) cryogenic storage box is a compact, modular organizer for sample freezing, low-temperature storage, and tube management. Unlike bulky 81- or 100-well grid boxes, its slim 5-slot format is ideal for small batches, kit assembly, and organized sample shipments where a full grid box is unnecessary and more costly. Manufactured from high-quality polypropylene, it offers excellent chemical resistance and low-temperature durability for reliable use down to −80°C with standard 1.8–2.0 mL cryogenic tubes. Specifications Material Polypropylene (PP) Capacity 1.8–2.0 mL tubes Compartments 5-slot design Dimensions 70 × 17 × 65 mm Aperture 12 mm Application Temperature −80°C cryogenic storage Features 5-compartment design for organized 2mL tube storage High-strength polypropylene (PP) material for cryogenic conditions Compatible with standard 1.8–2mL cryogenic tubes Stable structure for -80°C freezer storage applications Compact format: 70 × 17 × 65 mm 12mm aperture optimized for sample tube access Ideal for sample freezing and laboratory storage systems Applications IVD reagent kit assembly & packaging — Keep individual kit components (calibrators, controls, conjugates, buffers in cryovials) sorted into separate compartments during manufacturing and final assembly, reducing cross-mix-up on the packaging line. Product sales & OEM/bulk fulfillment — Ship small, organized sample sets to customers; ideal for reagent suppliers and distributors that bundle a handful of vials per order rather than full racks. Sample freezing & biobanking — Stable –80°C storage of 1.8–2 mL cryogenic tubes for repositories and aliquot sets. Molecular biology & diagnostics — Organize DNA/RNA, cell, serum, or plasma aliquots for clinical and research workflows. QC & reference material storage — Segregate positive/negative controls and reference standards by compartment for traceability. Pharma & R&D workflows — Small-batch compound, cell-line, or assay sample management where a full grid box is overkill. Why Choose This Box — Competitor Comparison Biofargo 5-Compartment Box Standard 81/100-Well PP Grid Box Fiberboard / Cardboard Cryo Box Format Compact 5-slot (70×17×65 mm) 81–100 well full grid 81–100 cell grid Material Polypropylene (PP) Polypropylene (PP) Coated fiberboard Temperature Range −80°C cryogenic −80°C to +121°C −80°C (not autoclavable) Tube Fit 1.8–2.0 mL (12 mm) 0.5–2.0 mL tubes/vials 0.5–2.0 mL Best For Small batches, kit assembly, modular sorting Bulk biobank storage Low-cost bulk, single freeze Reusable / Autoclavable Yes Yes No Typical Price ~$5 ~$22–143 ~$1–5 When you don't need 100 wells, a compact 5-slot box keeps small sample sets, controls, and kit components physically separated—without paying for a full grid box. FAQ Is this box suitable for −80°C ultra-low freezer storage? Yes. The polypropylene construction is engineered for cryogenic conditions down to −80°C without cracking or deformation. What tube size fits? Standard 1.8–2.0 mL cryogenic tubes, with a 12 mm aperture per slot. Why a 5-compartment box instead of a 100-well grid? It's built for small, organized batches—kit assembly, control sets, or customer sample shipments—where a full grid box is unnecessary and more expensive. Can it be used for IVD reagent kit assembly? Yes. The separated compartments help keep kit components organized and reduce mix-ups during manufacturing and packaging. Is polypropylene chemically resistant? Yes—PP resists alcohols and mild organic solvents and withstands repeated freeze/thaw cycles. Can it be autoclaved or reused? Polypropylene is reusable and tolerant of standard autoclave temperatures, supporting multi-cycle lab use. Do you offer bulk / wholesale pricing? Yes—use “Request a Bulk Quote” for volume orders for kit production or distribution.
