The FreezeBox™ product line is designed to preserve biological samples at controlled low temperatures while you are working with them (not long term freezer storage) to maintain sample stability outside of the freezer.

• Keep samples cold during pipetting or sample preparation

• Prevents degradation of biomolecules that degrade at room temperature

• Ensures consistent experimental conditions across samples

The FreezeBox is a highly uniform (+/-0.1ºC) mini portable cold environment (no electricity needed) lightweight and easy to carry.

Crystal FreezeBox products are designed for cooling, quick freezing and thawing/heating.

The Tube Module is suitable for temperatures ranging from -196ºC to over 100ºC.  

Pre-chill Cooling Core in a freezer

• Insert the Cooled Core into the FreezeBox

• Place the Tube Module on top of the Core and insert the Sample Tubes

Typical FreezeBox uses:

• Stabilize freshly collected samples

• Protect sensitive biomolecules, RNA, DNA, proteins, clinical diagnostic samples

• Preserve sample integrity before downstream analysis

• Sample preparation processes in a biosafety cabinet or tissue culture hood

• Clinical sample collection and transport

• Stabilize samples during multi-step workflows

Yes, the Crystal FreezeBox is durable and designed to withstand repeated freezing and thawing.

Yes, with disinfection: Wipe with mild disinfectant diluted at a ratio of 1:9 (i.e., 1 part disinfectant +9 parts water), let it stand for a moment, and then rinse thoroughly with clean water several times.

DO NOT:

 Autoclave (will damage EVA and warp structure)

 Soak the unit in liquid

 Use strong solvents:

• Acetone
• Chloroform
• Bleach (can degrade EVA over time and corrode alloy)

 Scrub with abrasive brushes (damages wells → affects thermal contact)

The Crystal FreezeBox supports a wide range of tube sizes, including:

• 2 mL tubes
• 1.5mL tubes
• 5mL Tubes
• PCR Tubes
• Simple select the appropriate Tube Module to fit tubes

• Highly uniform temperature control across all tubes (+/-0.1ºC)

• No ice contact, no contamination risk

• Keeps samples at controlled, stable temperatures

• Clean, dry, organized

• Works well for PCR tubes, Cryovials and Plates
