Corning® CoolRack XT PCR384 for 384-well Plate
Manufacturer: Corning Life Sciences
SKU: ions
Description
Designed for high-throughput applications, the Corning CoolRack XT PCR384 provides a chilled work surface specifically formatted for a single 384-well microplate. Its primary function is to maintain low temperatures during the often time-consuming process of loading numerous wells, which is vital for preserving sample integrity in quantitative PCR and other high-density assays. The rack employs a phase-change cooling system; the aluminum block is charged by freezing and then delivers consistent, passive cooling without the need for electricity or ice. The block is precision-machined to match the SBS footprint of a standard 384-well plate, ensuring secure placement. This tool helps mitigate issues like reagent evaporation and thermal degradation when working with small-volume reactions across many samples.
