How it's made: Ultra Low Temperature Storage Racks
Drawing upon over 35 years of experience in manufacturing and supplying traceable sample storage solutions to research centers and laboratory facilities, Micronic has developed a Next Generation Ultra- Low Temperature Tube Storage Rack Range. The Micronic Ultra-Low Temperature (ULT) Racks do not simply have a nicer design – they are better in every way. The racks have many unique features including its extremely strong design for cryogenic storage, a novel “icebreaker” cover lock mechanism, cover prints indicating rack and tube type, rack orientation marks and a highly transparent cover which enables easy visual checking of the enclosed samples.
Precision manufactured in a certified Class 7 clean room production facility, the Micronic ULT Racks are based on the Society for Laboratory Automation and Screening (ANSI/SLAS) standards for storage racks and accommodate 96, 48 or 24 tubes. Absolute traceability and reproducibility on the racks is ensured through novel laser-etched alphanumeric visual location aids on top of the racks and a unique laser-etched 1D barcode on the side of the racks. The open bottom design of the storage racks facilitate quick defrosting of samples.
