The PCR storage rack offers a sleek and modern. The patent pending design offers a unique lid the rack slides out from, and then rotates 180°, to become a convenient stand the rack sits on. Ergonomic textured finger grips provide a secure hold, reducing the chance of dropping the PCR rack, and makes handling and transportation easy, especially when using gloves. The lid has a side opening that enables faster cooling of samples to ensure integrity and is made from translucent polycarbonate for easy sample and well identification.
