Conversion of pipet-tip boxes into secure storage containers for microcentrifuge tubes

Abstract

We describe an inexpensive and convenient container that solves some common problems associated with storing microcentrifuge tubes in refrigerators and freezers. It is made from a plastic box that comes prepackaged with pipet tips... By producing these secure and adaptable containers, we recycle plastics that would otherwise get thrown into the landfill, and we optimize freezer and refrigerator storage space in a very cost-effective manner.
