Globe Scientific CryoCLEAR Vial Workstation Rack — 40-Place, Polycarbonate, Red (3049R)

Globe Scientific CryoCLEAR Vial Workstation Rack in Red (3049R) is the high-visibility option in the CryoCLEAR workstation rack line. Red is the universal attention color — on a bench with multiple racks, red stands out immediately. This makes it the natural choice for biohazardous specimens, infectious disease samples, priority-processing samples, or any vials that require special handling protocols. Same 40-place polycarbonate construction with twist-lock wells and anti-slip rubber feet as the blue (3049B) and green (3049G) models.

Red for Biohazard and Priority Flagging

In clinical and research laboratories, red is almost universally associated with caution, biohazard, or priority. Assigning red racks to infectious disease specimens, flagged study samples, or stat-priority aliquots creates an unmistakable visual signal that these vials require different handling — different PPE, different disposal, different chain of custody. A technician approaching a bench with blue, green, and red racks knows immediately which rack demands extra attention before they read a single label.

Twist-Lock and Autoclavable

The twist-lock well design holds self-standing CryoCLEAR vials securely for one-handed cap removal. Anti-slip rubber feet anchor the rack during processing. The polycarbonate material withstands autoclaving at 121°C for 20 minutes — critical for the red rack specifically, since its contents are more likely to be biohazardous and the rack itself must be decontaminated between uses. PC construction also survives drops from benchtop height without cracking, even at freezer temperatures where other materials become brittle.
