Description

The low-temperature metal PCR cooler can quickly cool down the liquid prepared in the laboratory and maintain a low temperature state after sufficient cooling. It can be used with a silicone base to ensure a longer cooling capacity. It is widely used in low-temperature sampling operations such as nucleic acid and protein experiments. It can effectively keep the PCR reaction solution or enzyme solution at a low temperature to prevent degradation due to temperature rise, which can effectively ensure the experimental effect and improve the experimental efficiency. Features: 1. Aluminum alloy material, efficient heat conduction; 2. The color oxygen layer is wear-resistant; 3. Resistant to overall high pressure, ultraviolet radiation, alcohol disinfection and other decontamination operations, and can be used repeatedly; 4. Reasonable hole spacing design, suitable for heat preservation operation, rapid cooling in ice bath or refrigerator, or sample heating and heat preservation; 5. A variety of specifications are available, suitable for 0.2~/2.0ml centrifuge tubes and sample tubes.

  • Does what it's supposed to, construction is solid - except for the paint.
Size: 1.5ml/2ml 24 well,0.2mL 36 well
Really, it's just a big chunk of metal with some holes in it. It works by being a huge thermal mass, also known as a 'thermal reservoir'. If you don't know why you need to rapidly chill post-PCR samples, you're probably not interested in this block, so I'll skip the pedantics. It's well made - solid, clean, deburred - and the grid system is a nice touch. Four stars instead of five - for concerns over durability / chemical resistance. I nearly gave it three, but that maybe seems a bit harsh. The grid indices are the same color as the base metal, and the surface is not anodized - it's painted (you can probably tell by the overspray). So once the paint scuffs away, so will the row / colum indices. The paint strips quite easily with acetone (hardly touched it) - which is mildly frustrating. While I don't presently foresee any need to clean it with acetone - I use a lot of organic solvents around the lab. Spills happen. If it happens in contact with this, it'll become a sticky, stainy mess... Even isopropanol was able to strip away some of the blue - though I was a little aggressive with it (as aggressive as you can be with isopropanol and a kimwipe, anyway). Using a coating that is sensitive to organic solvents for a piece of lab equipment is kind of a bonehead move, but I can strip it entirely and be on my way. I'm much happier with a good piece of kit with a bad paint job than the other way 'round. Sample tubes fit well and the edges are all deburred. Surface treatment is a comparatively minor complaint. ... show more

  • VISOSCI Aluminum Cooling Block: A Budget-Friendly Option for PCR Sample Cooling
Size: 0.2mL 96 well or 96 PCR plate
The VISOSCI Aluminum Cooling Block presents itself as a cost-effective solution for keeping PCR reaction mixtures and enzyme solutions cool during experiments. Here's a breakdown of its key features and potential benefits: Pros: • Efficient heat conduction: Made from aluminum alloy for efficient heat transfer, facilitating rapid sample cooling. • Durable construction: Withstands high pressure, ultraviolet radiation, and ethanol disinfection, allowing for repeated use and easy cleaning. • Maintains low temperature: The block can stay cool for 1-2 hours at room temperature after sufficient pre-cooling. • Versatile use: Can be used for various PCR tube sizes (0.2 ml and 2.0 ml) and strips, offering adaptability to different workflows. • Prevents sample tilting: The well design helps prevent tubes from tilting or popping up, minimizing the risk of spills or disruptions. • Budget-friendly: Compared to some actively cooled alternatives, this block offers a more affordable approach to PCR sample cooling. Overall, the VISOSCI Aluminum Cooling Block appears to be a viable option for researchers and labs seeking a simple and affordable way to cool PCR samples for short durations. Its efficient heat conduction, durable construction, and versatility make it a potential choice for basic PCR workflows, particularly for those on a budget. However, it's important to consider the limitations of passive cooling and ensure it aligns with your specific experimental requirements. ... show more

  • Great block for heat transfer and retention
Size: 0.2mL 96 well or 96 PCR plate
I've used similar aluminum blocks for chilling 1.5mL tubes, and this product performs just as well for my PCR tube strips but at a fraction of the cost of those from common lab vendors. Simply storing the block in the fridge, it is good for about 1-2 hours from my experience, and even longer if kept on ice during experiments. I've also confirmed via digital thermometer that the block works equally well for heating tubes, serving as a makeshift heating block by placing it on a hotplate. As some have noted, you do need to be careful with using solvents around the block, as the coating does deteriorate with things like concentrated acetone. If that's a concern, I recommending just washing off the coating entirely, as it doesn't seem to add anything performance-wise (just holes machine drilled into an aluminum block). Overall, I really like this product and highly recommend! ... show more

  • Excellent Cold Block; Silicone Cozy Provides Effective Insulation
Size: 0.2mL 96 well or 96 PCR plate
Excellent cold block. Use it to keep samples at 4C or -20C during sample prep work with enzymes and other sensitive reagents. The thick silicone cozy keeps the block cold for an extended period of time and makes it a superior solution compared to similar - and more expensive - offerings from major scientific (Fisher, etc.). Stands up well to 70% Ethanol for sterilization and cleaning. Another reviewer here noted that the finish and numbers are damaged by other organic solvents, so please keep that in mind. However, for routine PCR/TC applications it and the cozy are not damaged by Ethanol. Experience: Ph.D. level scientist and engineer. ... show more

  • Thermodynamically amazing...
Size: 0.2mL 96 well or 96 PCR plate
Thirty minutes in the freezer and this feels ice cold an hour after taking it out. There is a silicone cover included. I put it on when it gets out of the deep freeze. Makes it easier to handle and likely extends the optimum temperature.

  • After freezing it, the silicone cradle helps keep the cool temperature stable for longer.
Size: 0.2mL 96 well or 96 PCR plate
Note that it comes with a silicone cradle, not readily apparent from looking at the add. I assume that it not only helps keep the temperature stable for longer, but it also keeps heat from your hands from warming it up too.
