Product Description
Get the most capacity from a 2-deep rack in the narrowest space. The Crystal Technology & Industries UFD-262 Upright Freezer Drawer Rack holds twelve 2" freezer boxes, two boxes deep by six boxes high, in a column just 5 1/2" wide. Each of its six pull-out drawers puts both boxes in a row within easy reach, so you can grab the sample you need without unloading the rack or digging through the freezer.
Crystal builds the UFD-262 from pharmaceutical-grade stainless steel with double welds for strength that lasts through years of -80°C storage. Smoothed edges make it comfortable to handle, even with gloves on. To fit six drawers into a standard freezer shelf height, the compartments are slightly shorter than on other drawer racks (2 1/16" vs. 2 1/8"), which makes them ideal for standard 2" cardboard freezer boxes.
At 14 1/8" tall, the UFD-262 makes full use of taller upright freezer shelves while keeping the same slim footprint as the rest of the 2-deep drawer rack line. LIGHT LABS carries the complete Crystal freezer rack line to help you store more samples in less space.

Drawer Rack or Side-Access Rack?
- Drawer Rack (UFD Series) – Pull out one drawer to see and reach every box in that row. Best for frequently accessed samples and for reaching boxes at the back of deep racks.
- Side-Access Rack (UF-262) – Boxes slide in and out of open compartments from the side. Best for maximum capacity and lowest cost per box position.
