Abstract: An apparatus having a cryogenic storage box able to withstand temperatures down to at least negative (?)180 degrees Celsius. The cryogenic storage box includes a lid member coupled to a base member via a hinge. The lid member includes slots and magnets held therein via pressure. The base member also includes slots having magnets held therein via pressure, as well as vial supports configured to support vials in an upright position. When the lid member is in a closed position, each lid magnetic aligns with a base magnet along a respective vertical axis to magnetically couple the lid member to the base member.
