Accuracy and sample integrity are the foundations of a food manufacturer’s food safety program. Managing dozens of testing samples requires meticulous organization, but the equipment used to hold them must also withstand the facility’s environment.

A durable, chemical-resistant vial organization system is important in streamlining your lab's workflow and protecting your testing materials.

The Challenge of Harsh Laboratory Sanitation

Cleanliness is a non-negotiable in laboratory and testing environments to prevent cross-contamination and ensure accurate results in food manufacturing facilities. Because of this, equipment in food plant labs is subjected to rigorous, daily sanitation protocols. However, standard racks can easily corrode, degrade, or become safety hazards when continuously exposed to the harsh sanitizers required for compliance.

When sample racks break down, they not only compromise the organization of your workspace but can also introduce foreign physical or chemical contaminants into sterile testing areas.

Built for the Toughest Lab Environments

To meet these rigorous demands and maintain pristine testing conditions, QA/QC teams should utilize specialized Laboratory Vial Racks. Constructed from durable mild steel and finished in a distinct blue color, these racks are engineered specifically for high-exposure environments.

Integrating these specialized racks into your laboratory offers several distinct advantages:

  • Unmatched Chemical Resistance: These racks are manufactured specifically to withstand daily cleaning with the harsh chemicals commonly used in laboratories and food plants, including bleaches, common acids, bases, and solvents.
  • Versatile Sizing Options: Designed to adapt to your specific testing requirements, these racks accommodate standard 2-oz, 3-oz, and 4-oz vial sizes.
  • Scalable Capacity: Whether you are running a small batch of tests or conducting high-volume continuous sampling, you can choose from capacities ranging from 18, 24, 48, 60, and up to 100 vials per rack.
  • Secure Organization: A sturdy steel construction ensures that vials remain upright and securely stored, preventing accidental spills, sample mix-ups, and glass breakage during high-volume testing.
