[Nhcoll-l] Cryovial boxes

[Yatskievych, George A]

Enrique,

Depending on your needs, one alternative you might explore is the clear PET clamshell flat lid boxes that Gaylord sells. These apparently were first developed in conjunction with the Royal Ontario Museum. However, the material is somewhat more flexible than cardboard, so it may not serve for all applications.

Be well,

GY

Subject: [Nhcoll-l] Cryovial boxes

Hi there,

I am currently looking to buy around 200 cryovial boxes made of polycarbonate. We have been using Fisherbrand white fiberboard boxes (5 x 5 x 2 inches - L x W x H) with 81 cell dividers for 1.5 ml, but these boxes tend to deteriorate over time. Can anyone suggest budget-friendly polycarbonate boxes? I would also appreciate any recommendations for better fiberboard boxes.

Gracias!
Enrique
