Microplate racks help to handle, safely store and transport microplates. These racks can be horizontal or vertical, stacking, or tiltable (for viewing). Microplates placed in racks fit more easily into incubators, refrigerators and freezers. Racks are made from a variety of materials, some suitable for low temperatures or high heat.
