Chill block thermo-conductive metal alloy tube racks eliminate inconsistencies which occur due to inserting tubes directly into ice, dry ice, alcohol BA the, water baths and other common laboratory temperature sources. Place the chill block tube rack directly onto a temperature source and it will rapidly adapt to that temperature from -150°c to >+100°c. Chill block tube racks ensure +/- 0.1°C temperature uniformity of all tubes when cooling, freezing or heating. These chill block sbs footprint tube racks conform in size to the sbs standard footprint and are compatible for quick transfer to automated systems. An alphanumeric grid allows for indexing rows and columns, therefore facilitating tube location. Depending on the model, they will accept 200 µl PCR tubes, strips, plates and most microcentrifuge tubes. S700-56 rack will hold twelve screw cap microcentrifuge tubes or 1.5 ml and 2.0 ml snap cap microcentrifuge tubes along with up to 6 pcf strips or 48 individual 0.2 ml PCR tubes. Rack s700-58 will hold up to 24 x 1.5 or 2.0Ml microcentrifuge tubes.
