Description
Cryo boxes fail two ways: they crack in LN2 vapor, and their barcodes flake off after a year of freeze-thaw. This one does neither.
The Biofargo 196-Well Open-Bottom Barcoded Cryobox is molded from a polycarbonate cap and a PC/ABS composite base — engineered to survive repeated −196 °C cycling without brittleness. The 14 × 14 holds standard 0.75 mL cryo tubes plus extended-length and large-diameter formats, while the open bottom lets liquid nitrogen circulate directly through each well for fast cooling and stable temperature recovery. Each box carries a laser-etched alphanumeric code and 2D barcode — permanent identification that survives LN2 immersion and autoclaving, no adhesive labels to peel off.
Compatible with standard 0.75 mL cryogenic tubes (including extended-length and large-diameter formats).
Features
- ● Open-Bottom 14 × 14 High-Density Format — 196 wells per box in ANSI/SLAS footprint. Accommodates standard 0.75 mL cryotubes plus extended-length and large-diameter formats. The open bottom lets LN2 circulate through each tube well for rapid cooling and stable temperature recovery.
- ● PC Cap + PC/ABS Composite Bottom — High-strength polycarbonate cap paired with a PC/ABS composite base. Resists alcohols, organic solvents, and repeated freeze–thaw cycling without cracking under cryogenic handling.
- ● −196 °C to +121 °C Operating Range — Survives LN2 vapor-phase and liquid immersion, plus steam autoclaving. Meets the thermal cycling demands of cell banks, genetic resource centers, and high-containment biorepositories.
- ● Laser-Etched Barcode + Alphanumeric Markings — Pre-marked side walls carry durable alphanumeric codes and a scannable barcode. No adhesive labels to peel off at −80 °C or in LN2 vapor. Supports long-term sample tracking and LIMS workflows.
- ● Snap-Fit Tube Retention — Tubes lock into wells with a snap-fit geometry. No tubes popping loose when the box is tilted, bumped, or pulled from an LN2 tank.
- ● Automation-Ready Geometry — Precisely aligned wells with consistent spacing for robotic pick-and-place. Removable transparent lid with access openings allows robotic access without opening. Chamfered corners position the lid correctly every time.
- ● Available in Five Formats — 48-, 96-, 100-, and 196-well variants in 1.5" or 2" heights. See the comparison table below.
