Made of thermo-conductive metal alloy
Temperature uniformity through ChillBlock™ rack
Autoclavable or clean with disinfectants
Alphanumeric identification of wells facilitating tube location
Anodized surface resistant to rust, corrosion and abrasion
An alphanumeric grid allows for indexing rows and columns, therefore facilitating tube location. Each cavity will ensure a more efficient thermal exchange since it is in direct contact with the entire tube wall.
Use on Ice :
Adapts from ambient to <4°C in 60-90 seconds
