Freezer Rack 4 Drawer 12 Place for 3 in. Freezer Boxes

Upright Stainless Steel Freezer Drawer Rack – 12-Place Capacity for 3-Inch Cryo Storage Boxes, 4 Drawers High x 3 Boxes Deep, Corrosion-Resistant Matrix, Pull Handles

This industrial-grade, heavy-duty stainless steel upright freezer drawer rack is engineered to optimize sample organization and maximize inventory capacity within ultralow temperature (ULT) upright laboratory freezers. Designed with a 12-box array configured as 4 drawers high by 3 boxes deep, this rack accommodates standard 3-inch (76 mm) cardboard, plastic, or metal cryogenic storage boxes. The sliding drawer design permits single-drawer sample access, allowing lab technicians to retrieve or insert specific cryoboxes without removing the entire rack from the freezer. This significantly reduces thermal exposure to adjacent samples and mitigates temperature fluctuations within the freezer bay. Built with corrosion-resistant stainless steel, integrated drawer handles, and label identification slots, this rack provides long-term structural durability in sub-zero environments down to -80 C.

Technical Performance and Engineering

• Sliding Drawer Ergonomics: Equipped with four individual sliding drawers that pull out smoothly from the main frame. This modular access feature enables single-box retrieval while leaving the rest of the rack insulated inside the freezer compartment.

• High-Tensile Stainless Steel Construction: Precision-welded from premium, heavy-gauge stainless steel engineered to withstand deep sub-zero thermal shock without warping, rusting, or binding along the drawer slide tracks.

• Standardized Compartment Geometry: Calibrated to fit standard 3-inch tall cryoboxes (up to 135 mm x 135 mm footprint / 5.25 in. x 5.25 in.), providing a secure fit that prevents box tipping or jamming during drawer extension.

• Identification and Security Features: Built-in front card/label holder slots on each drawer face facilitate clear sample logging and cataloging across multi-user biorepositories and analytical cores.

Equipment & Freezer Compatibility Baseline

Due to its compact ~17.38-inch exterior depth and ~13.25-inch height profile, this rack is specifically engineered for shallow-depth and compact/mid-size ultra-low temperature (ULT) upright freezers. It drops seamlessly into storage bays across leading scientific refrigeration lines, including:

• Thermo Fisher Scientific / Revco / Forma: Fits shallow-depth models such as the Forma 88000 Series (e.g., Forma 88300 ~13–18 cu. ft. uprights) and compact Revco UXF / ExF / ULT Series upright models requiring short-depth racks to allow inner doors to seal completely.

• PHCbi / Panasonic / Sanyo: Fits mid-size and compact VIP / Evolution series upright freezers such as the MDF-U33V, MDF-U402, and MDF-DU300H-PA (~11 to 14 cu. ft.) featuring ~18–19 inch interior shelf depths.

• Eppendorf / New Brunswick Scientific: Compatible with smaller-footprint Innova and Premium upright freezers (e.g., Innova U101 under-counter and Innova U360 models).

• So-Low & Stirling Ultracold: Fits 13 cu. ft. So-Low Platinum Series uprights (e.g., U85-13) and Stirling Ultracold SU105U compact models.

• General Dimensional Fit Rule: Requires a minimum interior shelf depth of 18.0 inches, vertical shelf height clearance of at least 13.5 inches, and 5.5 inches of horizontal shelf width per rack.

Key Benefits and Applications

• Sample Preservation & Energy Efficiency: Pulling only the target drawer minimizes ambient warm air intake into the ultra-low freezer cabinet, preserving sample integrity and reducing compressor strain.

• High-Density Biorepository Storage: Maximizes vertical rack footprint within standard 3-inch box storage bays across major upright ULT freezers.

• Tool-Free Maintenance: Smooth, burr-free edges allow for easy manual cleaning, autoclaving, and ice removal during routine freezer defrost cycles.
