Description
Thermoconductive Tube Racks 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)The modules eliminate variability which originate from tubes placed directly into ice, dry ice, alcohol baths, water baths and other temperature sources.
- Ideal for cooling, snap freezing, heating or thawing
- Helps keep samples organized and dry
- All tubes upright and indexed
- Reproducible method
- Removes all problems created by placing sample directly in ice: variable sample temperature, wet labels, contamination risk
On ice
- Adapts from ambient (25°C) to <4°c in="" 60-90="">
- 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:
- Thermoconductive Tube Rack on ice: heat from the relatively warmer Thermoconductive Tube Rack module is transferred to cooling source (wet or dry ice, cartridge, LN2) until equilibrium is reached
- Thermoconductive Tube Rack in water bath: heat is transferred from water bath toward relatively cooler Thermoconductive Tube Rack until equilibrium is reached
