Racks for various sample containers

Organization systems for refrigerators/freezers Racks for various sample containers

Racks for various sample containers enable the structured storage of sample materials that cannot be accommodated in standard cryoboxes. These stainless steel storage systems are suitable for research laboratories and biobanks for storing bottles, bags, kits, or deepwell plates in laboratory freezers. Their universal configuration allows for the efficient use of available storage space in cooling and freezing units.

Storage systems for various sample containers

Racks for various sample containers are essential components for sample management in biotechnology and clinical diagnostics. While standard racks are often limited to fixed box sizes, these stainless steel racks offer flexibility for irregular vessel shapes such as bottles, cans, or sample bags. The use of corrosion-resistant stainless steel ensures durability at low temperatures in ultra-low temperature freezers.

Designs and technical features

Drawer racks made of stainless steel are characterised by their robustness. Models with wide drawers allow for the storage of deepwell plates, kits, and microplates of various heights. The drawer system design facilitates access to individual sample batches without having to remove the entire rack from the unit. This supports temperature stability within the storage capacities.

Compatibility with laboratory freezers

The selection of suitable racks is based on the dimensions of the cooling units and cabinets used. The range includes solutions compatible with models from manufacturers such as Haier, Panasonic, Sanyo, Herafreeze, or Forma-Freezer. In addition to specific formats for slides or microtiter plates, universal racks are available that allow for individual configuration with different vessel types.

Frequently asked questions about racks for various sample containers

Here you will find answers to technical and organisational questions regarding the storage of special sample formats.

What are racks for various sample containers used for?

They are used for the systematic storage of sample material that does not fit into standard cryoboxes due to its shape or size, such as bottles, bags, kits, or large-format deepwell plates.

What material is used for these racks?

The racks are made of stainless steel to ensure high mechanical stability and resistance to extreme sub-zero temperatures in freezers.

What advantages do drawer racks offer compared to cabinet racks?

Drawer racks allow targeted access to individual levels, protecting the remaining samples from unnecessary warming, as the rack can remain in the cabinet.

Can deepwell plates be stored in these racks?

Yes, specially designed drawer racks with sufficient internal height and width are designed to accommodate deepwell plates and microtiter plates.

Are the racks suitable for specific freezer brands?

There are both universal racks and model-specific variants whose external dimensions are matched to units from manufacturers such as Haier, Sanyo, or Thermo Herafreeze.

How can I receive a quote for an individual laboratory configuration?

For a compilation of suitable racks for existing laboratory cabinets, a quote can be requested that takes into account the specific dimensions of the storage compartments.

What should be considered when cleaning the stainless steel racks?

Stainless steel racks can be treated with standard laboratory cleaning and disinfection agents, ensuring they are completely dry before being frozen again to prevent ice formation.
