# Empty Rack Creation Overview

The `Empty Rack Creation` utility workflow in Sample allows users to create empty racks within the system. Barcodes for these racks can be generated automatically by the system or imported from a file, providing flexibility for different laboratory needs. This is useful for preparing racks in advance for future experiments, storage, or sample processing.
