The Benchmark Scientific DC9602 DryChill ice-free cooling block holds ninety-six 0.2mL tubes or one PCR plate or 12 PCR strips and maintains a temperature of four degrees Celsius for up to 230 minutes.
The DryChill cooling blocks are designed to store samples safely on the lab-bench without sample degradation due to temperature increase or fluctuation. Unlike traditional ice buckets, these blocks do not require any ice and are uniquely designed to minimize condensation, resulting in convenient, mess-free cooling.
Each DryChill cooling block utilizes a proprietary gel refrigerant, designed to maintain cold (but not freezing) temperatures for extended time periods. Once the block temperature begins to warm, the visual indicator alerts the user by changing from purple to pink.
