Product Description
LIGHT LABS is proud to offer the Crystal Technology & Industries Stainless Steel Upright Freezer Rack for Standard 2" Cardboard Boxes (Cat # UF-362). This high-capacity side-access rack holds eighteen standard 2" cardboard freezer boxes in a 3-deep x 6-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-362 fits six boxes high into just 12 5/8" of shelf height by using slightly shorter 2 1/16" compartments sized specifically for 2" cardboard (fiberboard) boxes. Its 16 7/8" depth uses the full depth of standard upright freezer shelves, so it is a space-efficient, high-density choice for labs that standardize on cardboard boxes. Please note: the UF-362 accepts 2" cardboard boxes only and does not fit plastic (polycarbonate or polypropylene) boxes. For plastic boxes, choose the UF-352 (3 deep x 5 high) or another standard-height upright rack.
The UF-362 is made of pharmaceutical-grade stainless steel with double-welded joints for strength and long-term durability at ultra-low temperatures. All edges are smoothed for safe handling. Each compartment measures 5 3/8" deep x 2 1/16" high x 5 7/16" wide. The rack is sold as a rack only. Storage boxes are not included, so you can use your existing 2" cardboard boxes. LIGHT LABS is your trusted source for laboratory freezer racks and cold storage solutions.

UPRIGHT vs. VERTICAL RACKS — WHICH DO YOU NEED?
Upright Racks (UF series): For upright freezers with a front-opening door. Racks slide out like a drawer for side/front access, with boxes arranged multiple deep x multiple high. Best for upright −20°C and −80°C freezers.
Vertical Racks (CF series): For chest freezers and LN2 tanks with a top-opening lid. Racks lift straight up, with boxes stacked in a single vertical column. Best for chest freezers and cryogenic tanks.
