Product Description
LIGHT LABS is proud to offer the Crystal Technology & Industries Stainless Steel Vertical Freezer Rack for Standard 2" Boxes (Cat # CF-12-2). This vertical rack stores twelve standard 2" freezer boxes in a single column, stacked 12 boxes high. It lowers straight down into laboratory chest freezers and liquid nitrogen (LN2) tanks. At 26 5/8" tall, it is sized for deeper LN2 tanks and chest freezers with about 27" of interior height. It holds two more boxes than the 10-high CF-10-2 in the same 5 5/8" x 5 1/2" footprint, for maximum box capacity per rack position.
The CF-12-2 is made of pharmaceutical-grade stainless steel with double-welded joints for strength and long-term durability at ultra-low and cryogenic temperatures. All edges are smoothed for safe handling, even with cryogenic gloves. Each of the twelve compartments measures 2 3/16" x 5 5/16" x 5 3/8" and accepts standard 2" cryoboxes and freezer boxes in fiberboard, cardboard, or plastic. A built-in handle at the top of the rack makes lifting it in and out of the freezer quick and easy.
The CF-12-2 is sold as a rack only. Storage boxes are not included, so you can use your existing 2" boxes. Pre-configured versions with 2" boxes and 81-cell or 100-cell dividers are also available. For added sample security, an optional lock device is sold separately. LIGHT LABS is your trusted source for laboratory freezer racks and cold storage solutions.
