Storage systems for Forma ultra-low temperature freezers
The selection of suitable racks for Forma Freezers depends primarily on the device type and available internal volume. Solutions are available for upright freezers with volumes of 368 litres, 491 litres, 651 litres, and 793 litres. These are compatible with the widely used series 700, 900, and 8600. Using cabinet racks accelerates access to individual cryoboxes, which improves temperature stability within the unit by reducing door opening times.
Specific solutions for upright and chest models
Within this category, you will find specialised upright racks for standard cabinets as well as for Duo double-door cabinets. These racks are designed for various box heights, with variants listed for 15, 16, or up to 25 freezer boxes with a height of 53 mm. For horizontal storage, stainless steel chest racks are used, which securely hold, for example, 12 cryoboxes. The use of robust stainless steel ensures durability at extreme sub-zero temperatures.
Compatibility with cryoboxes and accessories
The range includes racks for diverse box formats, from 33 mm to 130 mm in height. Cabinet racks for boxes measuring 136 x 136 x 53 mm are particularly in demand. Additionally, racks for microtitre plates (18 mm and 45 mm high) as well as for microscope slides are available. This flexibility allows the interior configuration of Forma Freezers to be precisely matched to the consumables used, such as cryoboxes made of polypropylene, polycarbonate, or water-repellent cardboard.
Frequently asked questions about racks for Forma Freezers
Here you will find answers to technical and organisational questions regarding storage in Forma ultra-low temperature freezers.
What are racks for Forma Freezers used for?
These racks are used for the structured storage of sample material in ultra-low temperature freezers. They prevent cryoboxes from shifting and allow for rapid retrieval, thereby minimising cold loss when opening the freezer door.
Which rack fits a 490-litre Forma cabinet?
For the 490-litre models of the 900 and 8600 series, special upright racks are used, which are optimised for boxes up to a height of 53 mm. The selection must be matched to the specific internal dimensions of the series.
What material is used for the freezer racks?
The racks, particularly for chest models, are manufactured from high-quality stainless steel. This material is corrosion-resistant and permanently withstands the mechanical stresses at extreme ultra-low temperatures.
Are there differences between racks for uprights and chests?
Yes, upright racks are inserted horizontally and often feature drawers or fixed compartments. Chest racks, by contrast, are designed as vertical towers that are inserted into the chest freezer from above, sometimes equipped with a folding handle for easier removal.
Which accessories are useful for sample storage?
In addition to the racks, suitable cryoboxes made of PP, PC, or cardboard are essential. For further subdivision, grid inserts can be used within the boxes to position individual sample vessels in a defined manner.
How do I find the right rack for an older Forma model?
Identification is based on the model series (e.g., series 700) and the volume. Since many racks for the 700, 900, and 8600 series are identical in construction, they can often be used across the corresponding litre classes.
Are the racks suitable for storing microtitre plates?
There are specialised rack variants explicitly designed for microtitre plates with heights of 18 mm or 45 mm, allowing these sample formats to be stored in Forma Freezers in a space-saving manner.
