Centrifuge Tube Storage Boxes, Polypropylene

Description

The Centrifuge Tube Storage Boxes, Polypropylene, also known as centrifuge tube storage racks, laboratory tube organiser boxes or polypropylene centrifuge tube boxes, are designed for organised storage, protection and transportation of laboratory centrifuge tubes. Manufactured by PolyLab, these storage boxes are moulded from durable polypropylene (PP), providing a reusable laboratory storage solution with resistance to many commonly used laboratory chemicals. The boxes are available in two variations designed for 15 mL and 50 mL centrifuge tubes, allowing laboratories to select the appropriate configuration for their sample storage requirements.

Each box features a transparent lid, providing clear visibility of the tubes stored inside. This allows laboratory personnel to identify samples without repeatedly opening the container. An indexed grid helps organise individual tubes and supports accurate sample identification, making the boxes particularly useful for laboratories managing multiple specimens or experimental batches. These polypropylene boxes provide a practical alternative to conventional cardboard or foam racks, offering improved durability for repeated handling and laboratory storage.

The material is listed to withstand temperatures ranging from -90°C to +120°C, supporting use across various laboratory temperature conditions where the complete box and tube assembly is compatible. The boxes are also described as autoclavable. Because standard steam sterilisation cycles may exceed the stated +120°C limit, users should confirm the manufacturer’s approved sterilisation temperature and duration before autoclaving. These storage boxes are suitable for molecular biology, microbiology, biotechnology, sample preparation and general laboratory workflows requiring organised centrifuge tube storage.

For safe use, ensure tubes are securely capped and correctly positioned within the grid. Confirm box dimensions, tube capacity, temperature compatibility and sample containment requirements before ordering. Do not expose the boxes to incompatible solvents, excessive mechanical loads or temperatures beyond their approved operating limits. The box itself should not be treated as a leakproof secondary containment vessel unless specifically certified. Each selected variation is supplied as one polypropylene centrifuge tube storage box with transparent lid. Centrifuge tubes, labels, samples and additional laboratory storage accessories are not included unless specified separately.
