BioCision CoolRackâ„¢ M30 Thermoconductive Tube Rack for 30 Microcentrifuge Tubes

Product Code: BCS-108

Product Overview: 

CoolRack M30 Thermoconductive Tube Racks for 30 Microcentrifuge Tubes are precision-engineered sample modules designed to evenly distribute temperature across all wells.

  • Ideal for cooling, snap freezing, heating, thawing
  • Made from a novel thermo-conductive alloy
  • Uniform & consistent temperature to all samples
  • Reproducible method; SBS footprint

Product Details: 

CoolRack Thermoconductive Tube Rack modules eliminate variability which originates from tubes placed directly into ice, dry ice, alcohol baths, water baths and other temperature sources. CoolRack Thermoconductive Tube Rack modules ensure +/- 0.1C temperture 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 smaples and bench top cryogenic tube sorting in liquid nitrogen. All CoolRack Thermoconductive Tube Rack modules may be autoclaved, high heat sterilised or decontaminated with bleach, alcohol or orther disinfectants or lab detergents.

Key Features

Secure Sample Preparation

  • Removes all problems created by placing sample directly in ice: variable sample temperature, wet labels, contaimintation risk
  • All samples <4°C and uniform in termperture (+/- 0.1°C)
  • Samples organized, secure and dry
  • All tubes upright and indexed

Versatility & Performance

Regardless of temperatures source

  • Samples stand upright and organized
  • Reproducible method

On Ice

  • Adapts from ambient  (25ËšC) to <4ËšC in 60-90 seconds*
  • Samples and labels stay dry
  • Hours of ice cooling without direct ice contact

On dry ice

  • Adapts from ambient (25ËšC) to  -78ËšC in approximately 5-7 minutes*
  • Elminates ethanol from snap freezing
  • Equal or better frezzing rate as compared to direct immersion into dry ice or alcohol slurry

In liquid nitrogen

  • Adapts from ambient (25ËšC) to -78ËšC 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

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
