Product Description
Twenty-five boxes, five drawers, and full access to the back of the deepest freezer shelf. The Crystal Technology & Industries UFD-552 Upright Freezer Drawer Rack holds twenty-five standard 2" freezer boxes, five boxes deep by five boxes high. Each 27" pull-out drawer brings a full row of five boxes forward at once, so you never have to unload the front of the rack to find the sample you need.
The UFD-552 is made from pharmaceutical-grade stainless steel with double welds, so it keeps its shape under a full load at -80°C, and all edges are smoothed for safe handling with cryo gloves. The compartments fit standard 2" cardboard, fiberboard, and polycarbonate freezer boxes, and the 11 13/16" height matches the shelf spacing in many large upright freezers.
The 5 x 5 layout gives you maximum capacity per shelf in deep -80°C freezers while keeping standard-height compartments. Build out your freezer with the UFD-552 and the rest of the Crystal drawer rack line from LIGHT LABS.
