CoolRack® PCR - tube, strip and plate modules
Thermo-conductive temperature control of PCR tubes, strips and plates
Advantages:
Not your ordinary tube rack.
CoolRack PCR series modules accommodate 0.2ml tubes, strips and 96-well plates, and 384-well plates.
The CoolRack Concept
CoolRack PCR eliminates temperature inconsistencies due to "user technique" which occur when tubes or plates are inserted directly into ice or the reaction is set-up on the bench. Once the CoolRack module containing the substrate is placed into ice, it rapidly adapts to below 4°C (± 0.5 °C). The use of CoolRack modules standardizes the temperature of all wells within the plate or strip, ensuring a consistent temperature for your samples while arranging the reaction plate, and, importantly, eliminates the edge effect
Source temperatures could include:
- ice
- dry ice
- liquid nitrogen
- water bath
- other common temperature sources
Recommended for applications that require uniform cooling or freezing temperature, including:
- PCR reaction preparation
- 0.2ml sample collection and handling
Features:
- CoolRack PCR series hold 0.2ml tubes, strips and 96-well plates, and 384-well plates
- Keeps tubes at temperature, while also keeping them dry and sterile by eliminating direct contact with ice and water
- Thermo-conductive alloy quickly equilibrates to desired temperature
- Engineered to ensure close contact with substrate wells
- 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.
- 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
-
CoolRack PCR96 module holds one 96-well plates, or up to 96 individual 0.2ml tubes
-
CoolRack PCR384 module holds one 384-well PCR plate
-
Both modules may be used in CoolBox MP System for ice-free benchtop cooling (0.5°C to 4.0°C)

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:
"I'm using it to keep my RNA cold for oocyte injections right now. I'll be using it to assemble my PCR reactions in the not too distant future. This has been a great new little toy to have on the bench."
