System and method to store and dispense immunoassay
An inventory storage system including a container with an upper surface, a lower surface, a back wall and a front wall facing a width of the upper surface and the lower surface, a first removal slot disposed between the front wall and the lower surface, and a pair of sidewalls facing a length of the upper and lower surfaces. The container includes dividers defining one or more sections. The container includes pens stored within the sections of the container, the pens including at least a subset of first pens and a subset of second pens, with the subset of first pens is below the subset of second pens. The container includes spacers that prevent the subset of second pens from exiting the container via the first removal slot until the subset of first pens exit the container via the first removal slot.

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTAINER DISPENSING ON A SHELF
A container dispenser for cylindrical containers uses gravity feed to direct containers from an input to an output slot, particularly adapted to use on a bottom shelf by providing visual and physical availability. Ramps can be formed and arranged to interlock and support dispensers at a desired angle.
Front loading can rack system for refrigeration appliances
A front loading can rack system for a refrigeration appliance can be provided for receiving, storing, and dispensing canned items. The front loading can rack system can include a top cover, which can be coupled with at least two walls of the front loading can rack system. The front loading can rack system can also include compartments for storing cans. Additionally, the front loading can rack system can include a first set of front openings positioned directly below the top cover for receiving cans and a second set of front openings positioned at bottoms of the compartments for dispensing cans. Moreover, the front loading can rack system can include hook mechanisms, which can be positioned on one or more back walls of the compartments. The hook mechanisms can couple the front loading can rack system to the refrigeration appliance by attaching to bolts of the refrigeration appliance.

GOODS PRESENTATON SYSTEM WITH AT LEAST ONE SEPARATING ELEMENT
A goods presentation system includes a storage area on which a row of articles is to be arranged one behind the other. The storage area extends towards a removal position at which a foremost article of the row is to be removed from the storage area. A separating element that is displaceable between first and second positions includes front and back parts spaced apart from one another. The front part hinders removal of the foremost article from the storage area when the separating element is in the first position and permits removal thereof when the separating element is in the second position. The back part hinders another article of the row arranged on the storage area behind the foremost article from moving towards the removal position when the separating element is in the second position.
