LABRepCo Vertical Freezer Rack Spring Clips 13 Places

LabRepCo Vertical Chest Freezer Storage Rack with Spring Locks – 13-Place Box Capacity, Corrosion-Resistant Stainless Steel Matrix, Tool-Free Retrieval, Single Column Stack (MPN: CF-13-2-S)

The LabRepCo CF-13-2-S (also cataloged as CF132S or CF-13-2S) is an industrial-grade, heavy-duty laboratory inventory management rack precision-engineered to organize and maximize cold-storage capacity within mechanical chest freezers and liquid nitrogen (LN2) vapor-phase tanks. Fabricated from premium, high-tensile stainless steel, this vertical column rack securely accommodates 13 standard 2-inch (50 mm to 53 mm) cryogenic storage boxes. The primary engineering feature of this specialized unit is the integration of built-in mechanical spring locks (spring clips) on each individual shelf compartment. These spring clips exert constant holding friction onto each loaded box, securely anchoring it inside the open flank without the operational necessity or inclusion of traditional, separate locking rods. Designed with a top retrieval handle and standard footprint dimensions, this rodless rack streamlines safe single-handed sampling protocols in high-density biorepositories, clinical research repositories, and cell preservation cores.

Technical Performance and Structural Design

• Integrated Mechanical Spring Locks: Built with internal spring clips that clip firmly onto the outer perimeter of standard cryoboxes. This specialized friction design blocks vertical or sideways sliding during rack movement, completely removing the hassle of aligning and pulling out manual security rods during single-box access cycles.

• Rodless Single-Handed Workflow: Engineered explicitly without a locking rod channel or rod dependency. By relying solely on high-tension spring clips, the rack allows for rapid, tool-free extraction of a middle box without needing to pull out a long, ice-bound metal rod at sub-zero temperatures.

• Premium Stainless Steel Grid Shielding: Fabricated from high-tensile, industrial-grade stainless steel engineered to retain absolute geometric alignment under extreme sub-zero thermal shock lines down to minus 80 C and deep vapor-phase LN2 cold zones. The metal is highly immune to rust and atmospheric frost condensation.

• Precision Welded Top Pull-Handle: Engineered with a reinforced, ergonomic top lifting handle. This heavy-gauge handle provides a secure physical grip for technicians, permitting smooth vertical lifting transitions straight out of deep chest storage cavities.

Equipment Compatibility Baseline

Due to its 28.25-inch vertical structural boundary and 5.5 x 5.63 inch profile base, this rack requires a minimum chest freezer well depth clearance or liquid nitrogen tank neck depth opening clearance of 28.5 inches. It drops seamlessly into high-capacity ultra-low temperature (ULT) chest freezers and cryogenic vapor dewars from leading scientific instrumentation brands:

• Thermo Fisher Scientific (Forma / Revco / Maxima Series): Natively sized for large-volume industrial ULT chest freezers (e.g., 13, 17, and 20 cubic feet models) with internal tank depth clearance limits meeting or exceeding 29 inches.

• PHCbi / Panasonic / Sanyo: Fits perfectly inside deep horizontal mechanical chest freezers such as the MDF-DC202VH series or vintage Sanyo ultra-low temperature horizontal storage tanks.

• So-Low Environmental Equipment: Fully compatible with heavy-duty commercial laboratory chest freezers (e.g., C85-12, C85-22 lines) requiring standard 28–29 inch vertical column inventory matrices.
