CryoCool Mini Cooler, -20°C, 20-Place Overview
The Globe Scientific CryoCool Mini Cooler (SKU 454025) keeps temperature-sensitive samples cold at the bench without ice buckets or repeated freezer trips. Designed for 1.5mL microcentrifuge tubes, this yellow benchtop block holds 20 positions in a 4x5 grid and maintains a -20°C working environment after pre-chilling.
Lab staff pre-freeze the cooler, then load tubes for protected handling during pipetting, aliquoting, and sample prep. The bright yellow housing aids quick visual identification across a busy workspace, and the compact footprint fits crowded benches and fume hoods.
Built by Globe Scientific for routine cold-chain workflows, the unit supports consistent sample integrity throughout extended protocols. Technicians gain a stable, mobile cold station that reduces freeze-thaw exposure.

Laboratory Applications
Molecular biology and genomics teams rely on chilled blocks to protect enzymes, primers, and nucleic acid samples during setup. Keeping reagents at depressed temperatures helps limit degradation while tubes sit open on the bench. This cooler suits PCR prep, restriction digests, and ligation reactions where short-term cold holding matters.
Clinical, pharmaceutical, and academic labs use the unit for aliquoting, sample sorting, and assay staging away from the freezer. Quick-access cold storage supports repeatable workflows in cell culture, protein work, and diagnostic processing. Color-coded blocks also help segregate sample sets and reduce cross-handling errors.
