Corning® CoolRack 250 mL, Holds 1 x 250 mL Conical Centrifuge Tubes

Corning 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. Place the CoolRack module directly onto a temperature source between -196°C to >100°C and it will rapidly adapt to that temperature.

Features

• Ensures +/- 0.1°C temperature uniformity across all tubes when cooling, snap freezing, heating or thawing.
• All CoolRack modules may be autoclaved, high heat sterilized or decontaminated with bleach, alcohol or other disinfectants or lab detergents.
• 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.
• Certain CoolRack modules are SBS-compatible.

Cooling

• Corning CoolRack on ice. Heat from the warmer Corning CoolRack module is transferred to a cooling source (wet or dry ice, cartridge, LN2) until equilibrium is reached.

Warming

• Corning CoolRack in water bath. Heat is transferred from water bath toward cooler Corning CoolRack until equilibrium is reached.Corning CoolRack and Corning CoolSink® are precision-engineered sample modules manufactured from a novel thermo-conductive alloy material. Thermo-conductivity is the transfer of heat energy from a higher temperature region to a lower temperature region. CoolRack modules evenly distribute the temperature across all wells providing very uniform and consistent temperature to all samples (±0.1°C).
