Argos Technologies 06755-71 PolarSafe Cardboard Freezer Box with 25 Place Insert, 3″ L x 3″ W x 2″ H, Pack of 200

Description

Product Overview

The Argos Technologies PolarSafe Cardboard Freezer Box is engineered for high‑density sample storage in demanding laboratory environments. Each box measures a compact 3 × 3 × 2 in, allowing it to nest neatly within standard stainless‑steel and polycarbonate racks without sacrificing capacity.

Constructed from reinforced, food‑grade cardboard, the box offers a balance of rigidity and lightweight handling. The material resists moisture absorption and maintains structural integrity even when exposed to extreme cold, making it ideal for use in mechanical freezers and liquid nitrogen tanks.

Each unit includes 25 precisely sized slots that accommodate tubes ranging from 0.5 mL to 50 mL. The slots are engineered with a slight taper to secure tubes firmly while allowing easy removal, reducing the risk of breakage during routine handling.

Drainage holes are strategically placed on the bottom of the box, enabling safe and efficient removal of excess liquid nitrogen or water without compromising the stability of the stored samples. This feature simplifies the thaw‑out process and minimizes the chance of cross‑contamination.

The box’s exterior is printed with clear, high‑contrast labeling areas, allowing laboratories to apply custom barcodes or QR codes for inventory tracking. This enhances traceability and aligns with Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) standards.

Packaging is optimized for bulk distribution: a pack of 200 boxes arrives in a recyclable cardboard case, reducing shipping volume while supporting sustainable procurement policies.

Usage

Designed for versatility, the PolarSafe Box performs reliably in a range of temperature settings, from standard -20 °C freezers to ultra‑low -196 °C liquid nitrogen storage. Its material composition tolerates rapid temperature fluctuations, ensuring that the box does not become brittle or warp.

Laboratories handling biological specimens, chemical reagents, or cryopreserved cell lines will find the box especially useful for organizing large sample sets. The 25‑slot layout streamlines workflow by reducing the number of containers needed to manage a given volume of samples.

Because the box fits universally into existing rack systems, institutions can integrate it without purchasing new hardware. This compatibility extends to both stainless‑steel and polycarbonate rack designs commonly found in research, clinical, and industrial labs.

In field applications, the lightweight cardboard construction eases transport of frozen samples between storage sites and analytical instruments. The built‑in drainage holes also facilitate quick draining of liquid nitrogen during field de‑icing procedures.

Regulatory compliance is supported through the use of non‑hazardous, recyclable materials that meet ISO 14001 environmental management standards, making the product suitable for labs with strict sustainability requirements.

FAQ

Can the box be used in both mechanical freezers and liquid nitrogen tanks?

Yes, the PolarSafe Cardboard Freezer Box is rated for temperatures down to –196 °C, making it suitable for standard -20 °C freezers as well as liquid nitrogen storage environments.

What tube sizes are compatible with the 25‑place insert?

The slots are designed to accommodate tubes ranging from 0.5 mL up to 50 mL, covering most common laboratory tube formats used in biology, chemistry, and clinical testing.

How does the drainage system work?

Small perforations are placed on the bottom panel of each box. When excess liquid nitrogen or water is present, it drains through these holes, preventing accumulation and reducing the risk of sample contamination.

Is the cardboard material safe for cryogenic applications?

The cardboard is a high‑grade, moisture‑resistant material that maintains structural integrity at cryogenic temperatures. It has been tested to ensure it does not become brittle or crack when exposed to liquid nitrogen.

What support does Argos Technologies provide after purchase?

Customers receive 24/7 technical assistance, a two‑year warranty covering manufacturing defects, and the option to request custom labeling or slot configurations for bulk orders.
