PCR Tube Storage Box (96-Well)

Nanostore PCR Tube Storage Boxes has organized, protective storage solutions for molecular biology workflows. Designed to accommodate 96 individual 0.2mL PCR tubes or twelve 8-strip PCR tubes, these storage boxes accommodates high-efficiency sample management across research, clinical, and diagnostic laboratory applications.

Key Features

Versatile Storage Configurations
Available in two formats: Standard laboratory storage boxes with yellow bases for routine benchtop and cold storage applications, and portable boxes with secure locking lids and white bases for sample transport and field work. Both formats maintain the industry-standard 96-well grid layout (8 rows x 12 columns).

Secure Sample Protection
Standard boxes feature snap-fit clear lids that has consistent sealing for benchtop, refrigerator, and freezer storage. Portable boxes incorporate secure locking lid mechanisms that prevent accidental opening during transport, shipping, or field sample collection.

Consistent Polypropylene Construction
Manufactured from quality polypropylene with chemical resistance to common laboratory reagents including alcohols, mild acids, and bases. Clear lids permits instant sample visibility and fill-status verification without opening. Rigid construction.

Configured Grid Layout
96-well grid format maintains standard microplate configuration for organized sample management. Fits with both individual 0.2mL PCR tubes and 8-strip PCR tube formats, accommodates flexible workflow requirements.

Temperature Performance
Applicable to storage across the full laboratory temperature range from -80°C to room temperature. Polypropylene material withstands freezer storage without cracking or warping. Appropriate for long-term sample archiving in refrigerated and frozen conditions.

Space-high-efficiency Organization
Stackable design maximizes storage capacity in freezers, refrigerators, and benchtop work areas. Uniform footprint permits organized arrangement of multiple boxes for systematic sample inventory management.

Sample Identification Features
Flat lid surface accepts adhesive labels and permanent marker notation for sample tracking and identification. Transparent lid design permits quick visual inspection of tube contents, fill status, and cap colors without opening the box.
