CoolRack® CF - cryogenic and FACS tube modules
Thermo-conductive temperature control of cryogenic tubes and FACS tubes
Advantages:
No ordinary tube rack.
CoolRack CF series modules accomodate standard 12.5mm cryogenic tubes and FACS tubes. Choose from four different modules to suit your cooling, freezing and thawing requirements.
The CoolRack Concept
CoolRack eliminates "user technique" and inconsistencies inherent in inserting tubes directly into ice, dry ice, alcohol baths, water baths and other common temperature sources. Place CoolRack module directly onto the temperature source and it will rapidly adapt to the source temperature - from -196°C to +100°C. CoolRack modules deliver temperature standardization of all tubes when cooling, (snap)freezing or thawing samples. Source temperatures could include:
- ice
- dry ice
- liquid nitrogen
- water bath
- other common temperature sources
Sample tubes will remain at the desired temperature through the thermo-conductive properties of the CoolRack alloy. All sample tubes will be consistent temperature (+/- 0.1°C with no "edge effect") and remain stable, secure, dry and organized.
Features:
- CoolRack CF series hold standard cryogenic tubes and FACS tubes with 12.5mm diameter
- Hard-annodized surface for resistance to rust, corrosion, and abrasion
- -196°C through +100°C recommended temperature use range
- Autoclavable and high-heat sterilizable
- Compatible with bleach solutions, alcohol, common lab detergents, and disinfectants
- Developed and designed in California. Made in USA.
- how quickly CoolRack modules adapt to source temperature(s)
- how quickly samples cool and snap-freeze in a CoolRack module
- how standard deviation is vastly reduced through the introduction of a CoolRack in snap-freezing procedures
See CoolRack performance data for information on:
CoolRack CFT module has a tapered well design to "grip" the bottom of cryogenic tubes, regardless of shape, and allow one-handed tube opening and closing. Cryogenic tubes must be minimum 47mm height for use in CoolRack CFT module.
NOTE: Always adhere to your lab's safety procedures and use protective clothing when handling very hot or very cold CoolRack modules.
What Customers are Saying:
“We have been using the CoolRack CF for snap-freezing our samples for the past weeks with great success. Since we were on a tight schedule we performed some validation in house and were very pleased with the results.”
– Hans B., Perkin Elmer
