CoolBox Ice-Free Cooling and Freezing Systems-1

Ice-Free Cooling and Freezing Systems CoolBox™ systems are bench top cooling workstations that provide sample cooling or freezing without ice, electricity or batteries. CoolBox systems are ® ® versatile and accommodate a variety of sample formats and temperatures. The modular design enables the use of CoolRack and CoolSink thermoconductive sample modules to hold microfuge tubes, cryogenic vials, PCR tubes or plates, assay plates and more. The internal cooling or freezing cores provide hours of 0.5° to 4°C cooling or sample freezing. CoolBox systems may also be used with dry ice to create a compact, portable, snap freezing workstation for bacteria, virus or proteins.
