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

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

Versatility and performance

Regardless of temperatures source

On ice

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
