Retrieving specific freezer boxes from the depths of a chest freezer often forces researchers to remove and juggle precarious stacks of loose boxes, risking dropped samples and prolonged temperature exposure. The Heathrow Scientific Chest Freezer Rack is a heavy-duty organizational tower that brings order and immediate accessibility to your cryogenic inventory.
Constructed from premium, corrosion-resistant stainless steel, this 9-level rack is specifically engineered to hold larger 3-inch tall storage boxes securely in place with an integrated locking rod. A robust top handle allows you to lift the entire rack out of the freezer safely, granting quick access to the exact box you need without disturbing the rest of the freezer's contents.
Features and Benefits
Stainless Steel Construction: Impervious to rust and corrosion, ensuring a lifetime of use in extreme -80°C and -196°C conditions.
Locking Rod: A vertical locking mechanism keeps all boxes safely retained within the rack during extraction and transport.
Heavy-Duty Handle: Robust top-mounted bracket ensures the handle will not warp or bend when lifting fully loaded racks.
9-Box Capacity: Features a 9x1 vertical arrangement that maximizes chest freezer volume.
