Cryo boxes, cell dividers and canisters are the storage aids you use to organise and protect samples in cryogenic storage. A cryo box is a square box with a gridded lid that holds a fixed number of cryotubes upright, so you can quickly retrieve each tube and protect it against tipping over and damage. A cell divider is a cardboard insert that splits the box into numbered compartments for tubes of different diameters. A canister is a holder that bundles canes or straws and keeps them in place inside a cryogenic vessel filled with liquid nitrogen. In this category you will find the cryo boxes, dividers and canisters from the brand Thermo Scientific, supplied with advice by Poly Temp Scientific.
The choice between a cryo box, a cell divider and a canister depends on what you store and where you store it. You use a cryo box with a divider to organise cryotubes upright in a freezer or on a rack. You use a canister to bundle canes or straws in a cryogenic vessel.
Cryo box with cell divider: choose this to organise cryotubes of 1 to 5 mL. The box holds the tubes upright and the numbered divider makes each tube quick to retrieve.
Canister: choose this to store cryo canes or straws in a vessel with liquid nitrogen. The canister keeps the canes bundled and in place, even when submerging into and removing from the vessel.
Our range consists of boxes, dividers and canisters from Thermo Scientific. Below you can see the version and application per type.
Polycarbonate cryo box, 81 cells: a clear, reusable box with a grid of 81 cells (9 by 9) for cryotubes up to 2 mL. The transparent lid keeps the contents visible and the box withstands the low temperatures of cryogenic storage.
Stainless steel cryo box, 1.5 and 2 mL: a robust stainless steel box with a gridded lid for tubes of 1.5 and 2 mL. The steel material is durable, easy to clean and suitable for intensive use.
Cardboard cell dividers, 25, 40 and 81 cells: cardboard inserts that split a cryo box into numbered compartments. Available in 25 cells (5 by 5), 40 cells and 81 cells (9 by 9), matching tubes of different diameters.
Swing-arm canister, 25 mL: a canister with a movable arm that keeps canes or straws in place inside a cryogenic vessel and eases loading and removal.
Aluminium canister for cryo canes: a light, corrosion-resistant aluminium canister that keeps cryo canes bundled during storage in liquid nitrogen.
The way you store your samples determines which storage aid you choose. In a mechanical freezer, such as a ULT freezer, you store samples most clearly in cryo boxes with a grid of 81 or 100 cells. These boxes fit standard cryo box racks, so you make full use of the freezer space and retrieve each tube at a fixed position. In a cryogenic vessel with liquid nitrogen, you store canes and straws in canisters, which keep the samples bundled and in place during submersion and removal.
These storage aids are used wherever biological samples are stored cryogenically for the long term.
Biobanks and cell banks: the organised storage of large numbers of cryotubes with cells, tissue and DNA, where each tube must be quick to retrieve.
Pharmaceutical industry and biotech: the storage of cell lines and samples within pharmaceutical processes and R&D.
IVF and reproductive medicine: the storage of straws and canes with liquid nitrogen in cryogenic vessels.
Universities and research institutes: the organisation of sample collections in microbiology, genetics and cell biology.
In addition to supplying cryo boxes, dividers and canisters, Poly Temp Scientific helps you set up your cryogenic storage. Our specialists advise you on the right box, divider and canister for your tubes, canes and straws and on matching cryo accessories. For advice or a quotation, please contact us.

A cryo box is a square box with a gridded lid that holds cryotubes upright. A cell divider is a cardboard insert that splits the box into numbered compartments for tubes of different diameters. A canister is a holder that keeps cryo canes or straws bundled and in place inside a cryogenic vessel with liquid nitrogen.
That depends on the grid. A box with a grid of 81 cells (9 by 9) holds 81 tubes, a box with 100 cells (10 by 10) holds 100 tubes. With a cardboard cell divider of 25, 40 or 81 cells you match the number of compartments to the diameter of your tubes.
A polycarbonate cryo box is transparent, light and reusable, so you can see the contents at once. A stainless steel cryo box is extra robust, easy to clean and suitable for intensive use. Both withstand the low temperatures of cryogenic storage.
You use a canister to store cryo canes or straws in a cryogenic vessel with liquid nitrogen. The canister keeps the canes bundled and in place, even when submerging into and removing from the vessel. The swing-arm canister eases that loading and removal even further.
Yes. Cryo boxes with a grid of 81 or 100 cells are matched to standard cryo box racks and freezer drawers, so you make full use of the space in your ULT freezer and retrieve each tube at a fixed position.
