BCS-206G Green TruCool Hinged Cryobox (Pack of 5)

Description

Product Overview

The BCS-206G Green TruCool Hinged Cryobox is engineered for demanding laboratory environments where reliability and durability are paramount. Constructed from laminated fiberboard, the box provides a waterproof barrier that protects samples from moisture ingress while offering superior structural integrity compared to conventional cardboard containers. Each box measures 5.25 x 5.25 x 2 inches and weighs just 1.74 pounds, making it compact enough to fit into standard freezer shelves yet robust enough to endure repeated freeze‑thaw cycles without deformation. The design includes a hinged lid that secures tightly, reducing the risk of accidental opening during transport or storage. With a capacity to hold up to 81 cryogenic vials—whether 1 mL or 2 mL—the Cryobox maximizes space efficiency while keeping samples organized. The bright green hue is one of six vivid colors offered by Thomas Scientific, allowing quick visual segregation of different sample types in frosty environments.

Usage

This Cryobox is ideal for a wide range of laboratory applications, including biobanking, molecular biology, pharmaceutical research, and clinical diagnostics. It performs exceptionally well in ultra‑low freezers, standard laboratory freezers, and even in liquid nitrogen vapor storage tanks, thanks to its waterproof construction. Researchers can confidently store sensitive reagents, cell lines, DNA extracts, and other temperature‑sensitive materials, knowing the box will protect against condensation and accidental exposure. The hinged lid design simplifies sample retrieval while maintaining a secure seal, making it suitable for both short‑term experiments and long‑term archival storage. The box’s durability also means it can be reused many times, reducing waste and operational costs for busy labs.

FAQ

What temperature range can the Cryobox withstand?

The laminated fiberboard construction is rated for typical laboratory freezer temperatures down to –80 °C and can also be used in ultra‑low freezers reaching –150 °C without loss of structural integrity.

Can the box be used with liquid nitrogen vapor storage?

Yes, the waterproof design makes it suitable for storage in liquid nitrogen vapor environments, providing an extra layer of protection against condensation.

How many times can the box be reused?

Because the material resists wear from freeze‑thaw cycles, the Cryobox can be reused many times—typically dozens of cycles—before replacement is necessary.

Is the box compatible with standard rack systems?

The compact dimensions (5.25 x 5.25 x 2 in) allow the Cryobox to fit into most standard freezer rack configurations, making integration into existing storage setups straightforward.

What should I do if a lid becomes loose?

If the hinged lid shows signs of looseness, inspect the hinge mechanism for debris and clean it gently. If the problem persists, contact Thomas Scientific customer service for a replacement part or a new box.
