THERMAL CONDUCTIVE RACKS

TM

Tube Rack Collection

C hillBlock™ thermo-conductive metal alloy tube racks
eliminate inconsistencies which occur due to inserting
tubes directly into ice, dry ice, alcohol baths, water baths
and other common laboratory temperature sources. Place
the ChillBlock™ tube rack directly onto a temperature
source and it will rapidly adapt to that temperature from
-150°C to >+100°C. ChillBlock™ tube racks ensure
+/- 0.1°C temperature uniformity of all tubes when cooling,
freezing or heating. ChillBlock™ tube racks are available in
a variety of sizes for tubes such as microcentrifuge tubes,
cryogenic vials, PCR tubes, SBS-compliant strips and plates
and 15 mL and 50 mL tubes.

APPLICATIONS
Use on Ice Use above Liquid Nitrogen

• Adapts from ambient to <4ºC in 60-90 seconds • Adapts from ambient to -140°C in 15 minutes
• Samples and labels stay dry, organized and uniform in • Samples are upright and organized as they freeze
temperature • No direct contact between samples and liquid nitrogen
• Hours of ice cooling without direct ice contact
Use on Dry Ice Heating methods
Use TM tube racks with heat
• Adapts from ambient to -78ºC in 5-7 minutes
• Eliminates ethanol – cost savings, no hazardous waste sources such as:
• Equal or better freezing rate when compared to other methods • waterbath
• incubator
• hot plate, oven
