Sample Cooling & Heating Labware | CoolRack, CoolBox & CoolCell
Azenta Life Sciences offers a comprehensive range of sample cooling and heating labware designed to eliminate the temperature variability associated with traditional methods like wet ice pans and alcohol-filled freezing containers.
From benchtop sample preparation to cryopreservation, these solutions ensure consistent temperature distribution across all samples. The portfolio includes alcohol-free cell freezing containers for controlled-rate freezing, ice-free cooling workstations that maintain temperature for hours without electricity, and thermoconductive modules that adapt to any temperature source (from -196°C to +100°C).
| Brand | Function | Application |
| CoolCell® | Alcohol-Free Cell Freezing | Controlled-rate freezing (-1°C/minute) for stem cells, PBMCs, and cell lines. |
| CoolBox™ | Ice-Free Cooling Workstations | Benchtop cooling or freezing without batteries or electricity. |
| CoolRack™ | Thermoconductive Tube Racks | Rapid temperature transfer and stabilization for tubes in ice, dry ice, or water baths. |
| CoolSink™ | Thermoconductive Sinks | Uniform temperature regulation for microplates and reservoirs. |
