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.

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.

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.
When can I expect my order to ship?
Most orders are filled and shipped within 2-3 business days from the time they are received.
Our standard shipping usually take 2-5 days.
We also provide express shippping for time-sensitive deliveries.
