Cryo Box, PC

The GISCOM Cryo Box, PC is a high-strength, autoclavable storage solution designed for secure organisation of cryogenic vials in research and industrial environments. Built to withstand extreme temperatures from –190°C to +121°C, it ensures safe handling and long-term preservation of sensitive biological samples. Its transparent lid, precision-moulded grid, and excellent mechanical durability make it an essential tool for maintaining sample integrity, improving workflow efficiency, and supporting reliable cold-chain operations.

Key Features

• High-Impact Polycarbonate Construction: Ensures superior strength, rigidity, and long operational life.
• Extreme Temperature Compatibility: Safe for cryogenic use at –190°C and for sterilization at +121°C.
• Accommodates Up to 4.5 mL Cryo Vials: Organized, high-density storage for maximum space utilization.
• Transparent, Numbered Lid: Provides excellent visibility of contents and supports efficient inventory control.
• Precision-Moulded Grid: Keeps vials upright, stable, and neatly separated to avoid cross-contamination.
