TruCool Hinged Cryoboxes
These storage boxes feature a patented hinged lid that keeps the lid and base connected at all times, reducing the risk of sample contamination or lid-mismatching. Constructed from high-quality plastic, they offer a durable alternative to standard cardboard boxes that can degrade in moisture-heavy environments.

Storage Integrity & Technical FAQ
Technical guidance regarding the implementation of TruCool storage solutions in high-density cryogenic environments, focusing on material durability, spatial optimization, and operational safety protocols.
Unlike cardboard, which absorbs moisture and degrades over time, TruCool boxes are constructed from high-grade, moisture-resistant plastic. This ensures structural integrity during repeated freeze-thaw cycles and eliminates the risk of fungal growth or fiber shedding in sensitive storage environments.
Yes. All TruCool hinged cryoboxes feature a standard 133 x 133 mm footprint, ensuring full compatibility with most stainless steel upright and chest freezer racks. The 100-place version allows for a 23% increase in sample density within the same footprint.
The patented hinge ensures that the lid remains permanently attached to the base. This eliminates the risk of lid-swapping between different sample sets, maintains consistent numerical orientation for sample tracking, and prevents lids from being misplaced during high-throughput processing.
For applications involving immersion in the liquid phase of nitrogen or rapid cooling, we recommend the versions with integrated drain holes. These perforations allow for the immediate escape of liquid and gas, reducing pressure build-up and ensuring safer handling upon retrieval.
The medical-grade plastic used is resistant to a wide range of laboratory solvents and alcohols typically used for surface decontamination. This allows for easy cleaning and sterilization protocols without compromising the material's durability.
