Freezer Storage Racks for Upright Laboratory Freezers

Storage racks for upright laboratory freezers are one of the most common types of racks. The upright racks sit on each freezers shelf. These racks typically offer multiple slots horizontally & vertically in order to maximize freezer storage capacity without jeopardizing sample integrity. Evolving from the standard upright freezer rack is the upright “drawer style” freezer rack. This design offers the same amount of storage as standard racks, but adds convenience with sliding, pull out drawers. The drawer style upright freezer rack is a more ergonomic solution. This type of rack eliminates the need of having to pull the entire rack out of the freezer. Instead, you can pull out one drawer at a time to retrieve your samples.

Vertical Freezer Storage Racks for Chest or Liquid Nitrogen Freezers

Another style of racks are the vertical storage racks, or LN2 racks, which are used primarily for chest style or liquid nitrogen freezers. Since vertical racks need to be pulled up from the chest or ln2 freezer, these types of racks typically include a single, vertical column of storage and are less bulky. These racks are most commonly available in standard styles were the box would typically lay flat (horizontally) in the rack. Another type of vertical rack that is available is the “slim” style vertical freezer racks where the boxes are stored on their sides (vertically). This style also maximizes storage capacity by allowing you to fill in extra spaces where standard vertical racks would not fit. Some vertical laboratory freezer racks come with the option of a locking rod. The locking rod allows for added security that eliminates boxes from sliding out of the racks.
