Thermo-Conductive Plate Modules CoolSink thermo-conductive plate and reservoir modules provide uniform temperature to all wells, regardless of position. When placed onto a temperature source such as ice, dry ice, liquid nitrogen or water baths, the CoolSink module will rapidly adapt to that temperature - from -196°C to >+100°C. CoolSink modules ensure temperature sample uniformity when cooling, snap freezing, heating or thawing samples. All CoolSink modules may be autoclaved, high heat sterilized or decontaminated with bleach, alcohol or other disinfectants or lab detergents. All modules are compatible with all temperature sources. Problem: Non-Uniform Plate Cooling with Crushed Ice Final equilibrium well temperature for a 96-well flat bottom plate in direct contact with crushed ice. Solution: Uniform Plate Cooling with CoolSink XT 96F Module CoolSink 96F on ice. Colors represent 0.5°C temperature intervals of the corresponding plate wells. The white cell represents the well that was fitted with the thermocouple probe. Plate directly on crushed ice does not reach 4°C in any of the wells and well-to-well temperature is uneven. Plate placed on CoolSink module and then placed on ice shows more uniform well-to-well temperature and all wells at or below 4°C (Blue center plate wells are slightly warmer due to curvature of the underside of the plate.)
