Organising stored samples with suitable ULT racking and an inventory management system can help laboratories to improve their energy efficiency and time management.
Firstly, using freezer storage racks along with inventory management should minimise door-opening times and reduce the ice-build up that can result. It also saves valuable time spent searching for stored samples and reagents.
Put simply: Knowing where the item you need is located saves time and energy!
Colour-coded freezer racking can be a great way for institutions to organise their samples. It allows more than one department to more easily share a ULT freezer rather than running two half-empty ones—again, offering energy-saving benefits. See below for more information on coloured freezer racks.
We’ve outlined some of the options below, but please get in touch for more information or to request a quotation.
Horizontal racks for ULT freezers allow users to make maximum use of the storage space in their upright ULT freezers.
Front-access freezer racks offer convenient and quick access to stored items—only one tray needs to be removed in order to take out/locate an item in the freezer.
Side-access versions are available and are easily customisable for various sizes of cryoboxes. In addition to cryoboxes, they can also hold microtitre plates, and are ideally suited to long-term storage.
Ideal for organising and safely storing any loose items within the freezer. Storage bins can be custom-made to any size.
Vertical cold stores are available in many sizes and designs. They are ideal for organising and maximising storage within laboratory chest freezers.
Standard vertical freezer racks have either solid sides or a wrap-around body for increased strength. Holes located in the back of the racks allow cryoboxes to be pushed out.
As described above, colour-coded racking can assist with freezer organisation and facilitate sharing. However, coloured freezer racking can also be used to highlight mission-critical or valuable samples that should be moved to a back-up unit as a priority, if the freezer fails.
Our customers can choose from a wide selection of cryoboxes in a variety of heights and configurations, with and without dividers, to suit various tubes and cryovials.
We can supply specially-developed racking to maximise storage of the Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine. Using such racks for storing the vaccines will help minimise the time the freezer door is open and will help maintain the temperature required to safely store the vaccine.
