Key Features:
-
Material: Typically made from durable, temperature-resistant materials such as stainless steel, aluminum, or high-density polyethylene (HDPE) to withstand low temperatures.
-
Design: Often designed to fit within standard upright freezers, maximizing space utilization. Racks may have multiple tiers or slots to accommodate various sizes of microplates.
-
Capacity: Varies by model, but most racks can hold multiple microplates, allowing for organized storage and easy access.
-
Labeling: Many racks include labeling systems or slots for easy identification of samples, which is crucial for maintaining an organized laboratory environment.
-
Accessibility: Designed for easy retrieval of microplates, often featuring open slots or trays that allow for quick access without needing to remove the entire rack.
-
Compatibility: Most racks are designed to hold standard microplate sizes, such as 96-well and 384-well plates, but some may also accommodate custom sizes.
Benefits:
- Space Efficiency: Helps maximize vertical space in freezers, allowing for more sample storage without compromising accessibility.
- Temperature Control: Ensures that microplates are stored in optimal conditions, protecting sensitive samples from temperature fluctuations.
- Organization: Reduces clutter and enhances sample traceability, which is vital for reproducibility in experiments.
