Loose cryoboxes stacked on freezer shelves topple every time you reach for the one at the bottom. Heathrow Scientific Upright Freezer Racks for 2-inch cryoboxes bring order to that chaos with stainless-steel frames that slide into upright freezers and hold rows of standard 2-inch (50 mm) boxes in defined, accessible positions. Three configurations — 4 × 3, 4 × 4, and 5 × 4 — let you match rack width and height to your freezer's internal dimensions and your box inventory. Each slot accepts any standard-footprint 2-inch cryobox, making these racks brand-agnostic workhorses for organized cold storage.
Features and Benefits

Universal 2-Inch Box Compatibility: Accepts any standard 2-inch (50 mm) cryobox regardless of brand or material.
Side-Rail Sliding: Rack slides in and out of the freezer on side rails for easy access without removing the entire unit.
Easy Cleaning: Smooth stainless-steel surfaces wipe down with standard laboratory disinfectants.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which configuration fits my freezer?
Measure your freezer's internal width and height. The 4 × 3 is the narrowest (16.4 in wide), the 4 × 4 is mid-size (21.8 in), and the 5 × 4 is the largest (22.0 in wide, 11.0 in tall). All are 5.5 inches deep.
Can I use 3-inch boxes in these racks?
No. These racks are dimensioned for 2-inch (50 mm) boxes. For 3-inch boxes, see the Heathrow upright freezer racks in the 3-inch configuration.
How many tubes per rack?
With 100-place cryoboxes: 4 × 3 = 1,200 tubes, 4 × 4 = 1,600 tubes, 5 × 4 = 2,000 tubes.
