MCT Box
Product Code : EL-TT-10147
Quick answer: This is a storage box (rack) for microcentrifuge tubes, offered in two grid formats — one holding 64 tubes of 1.5 ml and another holding 100 tubes of 0.5 ml — keeping small-volume samples organised, upright and easy to locate in cold storage or on the bench.
| Format | Tube Capacity Held |
|---|---|
| 64-position rack | 1.5 ml microcentrifuge tubes |
| 100-position rack | 0.5 ml microcentrifuge tubes |
Why a Dedicated MCT Box Matters for Sample Storage
Microcentrifuge tubes are small and easy to lose track of when stored loose, especially in a shared freezer or fridge holding samples from multiple users or experiments. A grid-format box keeps each tube in a fixed, identifiable position, which supports consistent sample tracking and makes it straightforward to pull a specific tube without disturbing the rest of the batch. Offering both a 64-position rack sized for 1.5 ml tubes and a 100-position rack sized for 0.5 ml tubes covers the two most common microcentrifuge tube sizes used in molecular biology, diagnostics and general sample-prep workflows, so a lab can standardise storage across both tube sizes with matching-format boxes.

Can this box be used in a freezer or fridge?
Yes, boxes like this are commonly used for cold storage of microcentrifuge tube samples in addition to bench-top organisation
Why use a grid box instead of storing tubes loose?
A grid box keeps each tube in a fixed, identifiable position, making it easier to track individual samples, avoid mix-ups, and retrieve a specific tube without disturbing the rest of the stored batch.
