Imagine trying to thread a needle while wearing a baseball
mitt.
That is how frustrating it can be retrieving sensitive tissue samples stored in some brands of laboratory freezer drawer racks.
Stainless steel freezer racks at -80C (-112F!) are no laughing matter.
To avoid skin burns, thickly padded gloves are worn whenever accessing ultra-cold freezer samples.
Considering how this reduces dexterity, a high-quality laboratory freezer rack should be designed to simplify sample removal, not frustrate the lab technician.
A well-designed freezer rack is not only convenient, but it also aids in protecting the integrity of the frozen sample.
Every moment an ultra-cold freezer remains open can take hours for the temperature to recover once the freezer door has been closed.
Warm air swirling inside the lab freezer can lead to thawing samples and degrading genetic material and tissue.
