Product Description
LIGHT LABS is proud to offer the Crystal Technology & Industries Stainless Steel Upright Freezer Rack for Standard 2" Boxes (Cat # UF-222). This compact side-access rack holds four standard 2" freezer boxes in a 2-deep x 2-high configuration. It slides onto the shelf of an upright −20°C or −80°C freezer, and boxes are accessed from the front. Upright racks let you pull out one organized rack and reach the box you need, instead of searching through loose boxes stacked on a shelf. That shortens door-open time and helps keep freezer temperatures stable.
The UF-222 is the smallest rack in Crystal's upright line. At just 4 1/2" tall and 5 1/2" wide, it suits small upright and undercounter freezers, partial shelves, and the leftover space beside larger racks. It is made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel for long-term durability at ultra-low temperatures. Each compartment measures 5 3/8" deep x 2 3/16" high x 5 7/16" wide and accepts standard 2" cryoboxes and freezer boxes in fiberboard, cardboard, polycarbonate, or polypropylene.
The UF-222 is sold as a rack only. Storage boxes are not included, so you can use your existing 2" boxes. LIGHT LABS is your trusted source for laboratory freezer racks and cold storage solutions.
