Frequently asked questions
Common questions about ARGOS TECHNOLOGIES from 3G Electric.
What is the difference between the Argos Technologies R3017 and R3019 freezer box dividers?
Both the R3017 and R3019 are cardboard cell dividers with an overall width of 4 7/8 inches. They are both compatible with Argos Technologies freezer box models R3015A and R3016A. The primary difference is the manufacturer part number and the specific box model they are paired with in the catalog. In practice, either divider can be used in the compatible boxes to create uniform cells for vials or tubes. When ordering, confirm the box model you have to ensure the divider dimensions match the internal grid. 3G Electric stocks both part numbers and can cross-reference your existing box model if needed.
Which Argos Technologies freezer box divider fits the R3013A box?
The Argos Technologies R3028 freezer box divider is designed for use with the R3013A freezer box. It measures 2 5/8 inches in overall length and width. This smaller size is suited to compact freezer boxes that hold fewer or smaller vials. The cardboard construction provides a balance of structural support and low thermal mass, which helps maintain temperature stability when the box is moved in and out of freezers. If you are unsure whether your box is an R3013A, check the model number printed on the box or contact 3G Electric for assistance with identification.
Are Argos Technologies cardboard dividers suitable for ultra-low temperature freezers?
Argos Technologies cardboard dividers are intended for cold storage applications, including laboratory freezers. Cardboard is commonly used in freezer boxes because it does not become excessively brittle at low temperatures and has minimal thermal mass, which helps reduce temperature fluctuations when samples are accessed. However, the exact temperature range depends on the specific freezer environment and duration of exposure. For ultra-low temperature freezers (e.g., -80°C), cardboard dividers are generally acceptable for organizing vials, but users should verify that the material remains intact under their specific conditions. 3G Electric can provide material details and dimensions to help you assess suitability.
What other products does Argos Technologies offer besides freezer box dividers?
In addition to cardboard cell dividers, Argos Technologies manufactures cold storage boxes, racks, and laboratory aspirator pump accessories. The cold storage boxes are available in several models, such as R3013A, R3014A, R3015A, and R3016A, and are designed to hold vials or tubes in a grid arrangement. The racks support these boxes in freezer or benchtop settings. Aspirator pump accessories are used with vacuum pumps for liquid aspiration and filtration tasks. 3G Electric supplies these product families and can provide part numbers, dimensions, and compatibility information for each item.
How do I choose the correct Argos Technologies divider for my freezer box?
To choose the correct Argos Technologies divider, first identify the model number of your freezer box (e.g., R3013A, R3014A, R3015A, R3016A). Then match it to the compatible divider part numbers: R3028 for R3013A; R3021 or R3022 for R3014A; R3017, R3019, R3020, R3023, or R3024 for R3015A/R3016A. The overall dimensions of the divider must match the internal cell size of the box. If the model number is not visible, measure the internal length and width of the box and compare to the divider dimensions listed in the product specifications. 3G Electric can assist with cross-referencing if you provide the box dimensions or a photo of the label.
