The Thermo Scientific™ Mr. Frosty™ Freezing Container is a reliable and efficient system for freezing cells in tubes ranging from 1 to 5 mL. It provides an optimal cooling rate of approximately -1°C/minute, which is crucial for preserving cell viability during cryopreservation. The container eliminates the need for improvised solutions, offering a consistent and easy-to-use design.
Key Features
- Optimal Cooling Rate: Achieves a cooling rate close to -1°C/minute, ideal for controlled cryopreservation.
- Tube Capacity: Holds up to 12 tubes (4.5–5.0 mL) in catalog number 5100-0050.
- Screw-Top Lid: Secures samples to prevent spills or tipping during freezing.
- Space-Efficient: Compact design with a profile height of 151 mm, saving precious freezer space.
- Eliminates Contact with Alcohol: Prevents wicking, label removal, and compromise of tube labeling or hand printing.
- Durable Construction: Made from high-quality polycarbonate for repeated use and long-term reliability.
