X-Rack Systems

Features
  • Engineered systems with a wide variety of tank complements from 3/4L to 189L.
  • Most tanks are polycarbonate and can be readily cage washed or autoclaved.
  • Shelving improves overall environment, providing contrast for feeding, reducing algae growth, improving biosecurity, and reducing maintenance time.
  • UV disinfection rate among the highest in the industry, designed for a 12 month service interval.
  • Laboratory grade racks are manufactured to conform to ASTM standards and include barrier protection for wet environments.
  • NEMA 4X Electronic Controller is designed in accordance with CE Marking and UL® specifications and provides a single plug installation that is neater and safer than alternatives. Includes integrated safety features, timer and LED time and temperature display.
