Thermo Scientific Freezer Storage Box Holds 100 x 3.6 ml - 7 CryoBoxes

Thermo Scientific 341483 Freezer Storage Box – 100-Place, for 3.6 mL Vials, Polycarbonate

The Thermo Scientific 341483 is a high-capacity cryogenic storage box engineered for the organized preservation of biological samples at ultra-low temperatures. Manufactured from durable, medical-grade polycarbonate, this box is designed to withstand temperatures ranging from -196°C (vapor-phase LN2) to +121°C (autoclavable). The 100-place grid configuration allows for a 20% increase in storage density compared to standard 81-place boxes, making it an essential component for high-volume biobanking and clinical research. Specifically sized for 3.6 mL vials, the 341483 features a transparent lid with a molded-in numeric grid for rapid sample identification and integrated venting to prevent pressure buildup during temperature shifts.

Technical Performance and Design

• 10x10 High-Density Grid: Accommodates 100 vials in a standard 5.25" x 5.25" footprint, optimizing valuable freezer space in ultra-low temperature units and cryo-containers.

• Extended Box Height: Specifically engineered with a deeper base and taller lid to safely house 3.6 mL cryogenic vials, ensuring the lid closes securely without contacting the vial caps.

• Polycarbonate Durability: Constructed from high-impact polycarbonate that remains resilient and crack-resistant even at cryogenic temperatures, providing superior protection over cardboard or low-grade plastic alternatives.

• Alphanumeric Indexing: The lid and base feature molded-in coordinates for precise sample tracking, enabling users to locate specific vials quickly and reducing "door-open" time for freezers.

Key Benefits & Applications

• Biobanking Efficiency: Increases the total storage capacity of ULT freezers by utilizing a 100-well format, significantly lowering the "cost-per-sample" for long-term preservation.

• Cryogenic Safety: Features specialized vent holes and drain slots to facilitate rapid gas exchange and drainage, preventing lid "pop-off" caused by trapped liquid nitrogen or air expansion.

• Universal Rack Compatibility: Fits standard stainless steel freezer racks designed for 3.75-inch (approx. 95mm) boxes, allowing for seamless integration into existing storage systems.

• Sample Integrity: The rigid construction prevents the crushing of vials and protects labels from abrasion during transport between workstations and cold storage.
