CoolCaddy™ PCR Work Station

• Maintains 2 to 4° C for up to 5 hours
• Keeps samples cool, but not frozen
• Accomodates several different vessel types: Vials, Tubes, Strips, Plates & Reservoirs

Protect your enzymes, reagents and temperature sensitive samples with the new 5-hour CoolCaddy™.  No need for messy ice baths - simply store it overnight in any standard freezer and its ready to hold tubes, plates and reservoirs at 2 to 4° C for an entire morning or afternoon.  CoolCaddy™ is an ideal work station for PCR and especially for any protocol requiring multi-channel pipetting from a reservoir into strip tubes or 96 well plates.  And, if your work is interrupted, just place the whole CoolCaddy™ (complete with samples and reagents) back in the freezer or refrigerator until you are able to resume your experiment.

The CoolCaddy™ offers the highest level of enzyme protection and is essential for all protocols that call for more than 30 minutes of benchtop prep work.  Additionally, the proprietary refrigerant gel protects enzymes, samples and reagents from freezer fluctuations caused by power outages, open doors, and frost-free cycles.

IsoFreeze® MCT Color-Change Racks

Leave the Ice Buckets Behind!
IsoFreeze Color-Changing Racks take the guesswork out of sample preparation!

Using proven IsoFreeze temperature maintenance technology, the filled racks maintain a cool (refrigerator) environment on the bench or the workstation platform. This helps maintain a stable environment for PCR reagents, cells, enzymes, or other temperature-sensitive reagents. Industry Standard format tubes, strips, and 96 well plates, in both standard and low profile well shapes, are accommodated and are efficiently cooled in PCR, QPCR, and many other applications.

IsoFreeze PCR Racks are manufactured using polypropylene containing temperature-dependent color-change dye giving at-a-glance temperature indication for each well. There is a dramatic change to a contrasting color at 7ºC. IsoFreeze gel technology means the wells will stay cool for up to 4 hours, depending on ambient temperature and other factors.

• Available in 2 color changing formats
• Material: Rugged polypropylene and inert gel
• Maintains temperature of less than 4°C for up to 2.5 or 3.5 hours depending on Rack

DryChill™ Ice-free Cooling Block

The DryChill™ cooling blocks are designed to store samples safely on the lab-bench without sample degradation due to temperature increase or fluctuation. Unlike traditional ice buckets, these blocks do not require any ice and are uniquely designed to minimize condensation, resulting in a convenient, mess-free cooling.

Each DryChill™ Cooling Block utilizes a proprietary gel refrigerant, designed to maintain cold (but not freezing) temperatures for extended time periods. Once the block temperature begins to warm, the visual indicator alerts the user by changing from purple to pink.

Four blocks are available for accepting a wide variety of commonly used research tubes and plates.

• Ice-free, stable cooling for sample tubes
• Unique design reduces condensation
• Maintains 4°C for up to +200 minutes

Wire, polypropylene, and NEW polystyrene racks 

Select among our three one-well racks--epoxy-coated steel wire racks, interlocking polypropylene racks, or friction-fit polystyrene racks. Move our wire and friction-fit racks to exactly where you need your tube. Friction-fit racks securely hold conical or round bottom tubes with 27.5 to 29mm OD. Link the interlocking plastic racks to form a line of 50mL tubes. Both the wire and interlocking polypropylene racks are autoclavable. Interlocking plastic racks are sold in assorted color packs of one each of blue, green, yellow, pink, and orange.
