CoolRack 250ml
CoolRack 250ml modules are precision-engineered sample modules manufactured from a novel thermo-conductive alloy material, designed to evenly distribute temperature across all wells providing uniform and consistent temperature to all samples (+/-0.1°C)
- Ideal for cooling, snap freezing, heating or thawing
- Helps keep samples organized and dry
- All tubes upright and indexed
- Reproducible method
Overview
- CoolRack thermo-conductive tube modules eliminate variability which originates from tubes placed directly into ice, dry ice, alcohol baths, water baths and other temperature sources
- CoolRack modules ensure +/- 0.1°C temperature uniformity across all tubes when cooling, snap freezing, heating or thawing
- Suggested applications include cooling reagents such as restriction enzymes, dNTPs and antibodies, alcohol-free dry ice snap freezing of tissue, virus and bacteria samples and bench top cryogenic tube sorting in liquid nitrogen
- All CoolRack modules may be autoclaved, high heat sterilized or decontaminated with bleach, alcohol or other disinfectants or lab detergents
Key Features
Secure sample preparation
- Removes all problems created by placing sample directly in ice: variable sample temperature, wet labels, contamination risk
- All samples <4°C and uniform in temperature (+/- 0.1°C)
- Samples organized, secure and dry
- All tubes upright and indexed
- Thermo-conductive base, insulating exterior
Versatility and performance
Regardless of temperatures source
- Samples stand upright and organized
- Reproducible method
On ice
- Adapts from ambient (25˚C) to <4˚C in 60-90 seconds*
- Samples and labels stay dry
- Hours of ice cooling without direct ice contact
On dry ice
- Adapts from ambient (25˚C) to -78˚C in approximately 5-7 minutes*
- Eliminates ethanol from snap freezing
- Equal or better freezing rate as compared to direct immersion into dry ice or alcohol slurry
In liquid nitrogen
- Adapts from ambient (25˚C) to approximately -150˚C in approximately 12-14 minutes*
- Vapor barrier protects from ambient air
- No direct contact between samples and LN2
Heat sources
- Use with water baths, hot plates, incubators and other heat sources to keep samples warm
*Average cooling rate from room temperature
How it works: ease of use
- CoolRack on ice: heat from the relatively warmer CoolRack module is transferred to cooling source (wet or dry ice, cartridge, LN2) until equilibrium is reached
- CoolRack in water bath: heat is transferred from water bath toward relatively cooler CoolRack until equilibrium is reached
