Modular Cooling/Heating System Safeguards Temperature-Sensitive Biological Samples

By LabMedica International staff writers
Posted on 02 Sep 2015
A new modular system designed for precise, controlled cooling and heating of biological samples in microplates, vials and Eppendorf tubes is now available for biotech, clinical, and life science laboratories.

The ChilliBlock from Asynt (Isleham, United Kingdom) is a modular system designed for both heating and cooling. More...
The ChilliBlock tube blocks are manufactured from clear, resistant, anodized aluminum. The base unit easily attaches to most laboratory heating cooling circulators, enabling precise, stable, and even temperature control of biological samples from -30 to +160 degrees Celsius.

The ChilliBlock's low profile makes it compatible with most robotic platforms, but it can also be used as a stand-alone system. ChilliBlock has interchangeable blocks for tubes, vials, and plates but custom sizes are also available. The tube plate also offers cap holding for Eppendorf tubes.

ChilliBlock is not for use on an active heating/cooling plate but can be used with an ice bath or simply pre-cooled for use directly on the lab bench. The ChilliBlock cooling base is insulated to ensure performance, temperature homogeneity and to reduce ice formation.

The Asynt ChilliBlock enables stable, consistent temperature control (+/- 0.1 degree Celsius) of biological samples in a wide range of standard and custom formats.
