Frequently Asked Questions

How does the color-change indicator work?

After freezing, the rack appears purple. As the cooling core approaches roughly 4°C and loses chilling capacity, it shifts to pink — a clear visual cue that samples need refreezing.

Will it fit my PCR plates and strips?

Yes. The 96-well grid accommodates standard skirted and semi-skirted PCR plates as well as individual 0.2 mL strip tubes within an SBS/ISBER footprint.

How long does it stay cold?

Cold-hold time depends on freezing duration and ambient conditions. For best results, fully freeze the rack, then monitor the purple-to-pink transition as your working-time guide.

Is it compatible with automated liquid handlers?

The SBS/ISBER-standard footprint allows placement on most liquid-handling decks and plate nests that accept SBS-format labware. Confirm deck height clearance for your platform.
