Biotech Temperature Control Products Made from a Novel Thermo-Adaptive Alloy

By LabMedica International staff writers
Posted on 15 Jul 2010
A line of products that standardizes temperature control during manipulation and storage of biological samples is now available for biotechnology investigators.

Thermoconductive "CoolRacks” from BioCision (Mill Valley, CA, USA) are manufactured from a novel patent-pending thermo-adaptive alloy. More...
This material quickly equilibrates all sample wells or chambers to within 0.1 °C of the source temperature. This is true whether the temperature is being cooled by cold water, ice, dry ice, or liquid nitrogen; or whether samples are being warmed by water bath or heating block.

Specimen tubes are kept upright at exactly the same temperature regardless of well position, and racked samples can be moved from ice to water bath en masse, giving a rapid identical temperature shift for all samples. In addition to eliminating temperature variability, CoolRacks provide the investigator with a system for stable, compact, and indexed organization.

CoolRacks are available in a wide range of formats for use with cryo storage tubes, microfuge tubes, PCR strips and plates, and many other consumables. In conjunction with the BioCision "CoolBox,” CoolRacks can also be used for short-term sample transfer or transportation, as the CoolBox maintains the temperature of CoolRack for up to eight hours.

Rolf Ehrhardt, CEO of BioCision, said, "In the context of the worldwide effort to standardize common sample-handling processes. CoolRacks introduce simplicity and reproducibility to a variety of basic research and clinical protocols involving temperature-sensitive biologics, vaccines, RNA, DNA, and enzymes.”
