CoolRack® M – microcentrifuge tube modules
Thermo-conductive temperature control of 0.5ml, 1.5ml and 2.0ml tubes
Advantages:
CoolRack M series modules accommodate a variety of 0.5ml, 1.5ml and 2.0ml tubes. Choose from 14 different modules to suit your cooling, freezing and heating/thawing requirements.
The CoolRack Concept
CoolRack eliminates "user technique" inconsistencies which occur due to insertion of tubes directly into ice, dry ice, alcohol baths, water baths and other common temperature sources. Place the CoolRack module directly onto the temperature source and it will rapidly adapt to that temperature - from -196°C to +100°C. CoolRack modules ensure temperature standardization of all tubes when cooling, (snap)freezing or heating/thawing samples.
Source temperatures could include:
- ice
- dry ice
- liquid nitrogen
- water bath
- other common temperature sources
- reagent tube cooling
- cooling/freezing restriction enzymes, dNTP, antibodies
- tissue freezing
- virus / bacteria snap-freezing
- cell cryopreservation preparation
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.
Recommended for applications that require uniform cooling or freezing temperature, including:
Features:
- CoolRack M series hold 0.5, 1.5 or 2.0 ml microcentrifuge tubes
- Keeps tubes at temperature, while also keeping them dry and sterile by eliminating direct contact with ice and water
- Organizes and keeps tubes upright while at desired temperature
- Hard-annodized surface for resistance to rust, corrosion, and abrasion
- Function in a wide temperature range - from -196°C through >+100°C - for use in a variety of applications
- Sterilize via autoclave, high-heat, bleach solutions, disinfectants or alcohol. Compatible with common lab detergents
- Developed and designed in California. Made in USA.

What Customers are Saying:
“I've been lucky enough to have the use of a demo model of this product in my lab at Genentech....after just the first use I was completely hooked! It keeps my tubes stable, very close to 0 degrees and does so for hours. I now have to make sure that the rack is available when I need it as my labmates keep stealing it for themselves!...I obviously love it!”
