Key Features
- Dual-Sided Design:
- Side 1: Accommodates 36 x 1.5/2.0 mL microcentrifuge tubes, ideal for general sample storage.
- Side 2: Configured as a PCR workstation:
- Holds 1 x 96-well PCR plate or 96 x 0.2 mL tubes.
- Also accommodates 12 x 0.2 mL tube strips and 10 x 1.5/2.0 mL tubes.
- Temperature Stability:
- Maintains a consistent temperature of approximately 0°C for up to 4 hours on the lab bench.
- Protects samples from degradation caused by temperature fluctuations during experiments.
- Ease of Use:
- Pre-chill by placing the CoolCube in a freezer overnight.
- Ready for use the next day without the need for ice or electricity.
- Compact and Portable:
- Dimensions: 5.6 x 5.6 x 2.5 inches (143 x 143 x 64 mm).
- Weight: 2 lbs (1 kg), making it lightweight and easy to transport between workstations.
Applications
- Molecular Biology: Keeps DNA, RNA, and enzyme samples stable during pipetting or reaction setups.
- PCR Workflows: Acts as a stable PCR workstation for preparing and handling sensitive reagents or plates.
- Protein Studies: Maintains the stability of temperature-sensitive proteins and enzymes.
- General Laboratory Use: Temporary cooling for reagents, samples, or cell suspensions during workflows.
