N ICE & BLCKICE

N ICE
The N ICE is an electronic ice bucket containing ceramic-coated beads, used to maintain set temperatures and support sample or reagent vessels of any shape and for as long as necessary. This innovative bead technology eliminates having to deal with tubes oating in melting wet ice and possible sample contamination. The small chemically resistant beads can be decontaminated by autoclaving at 134C. Cooling time can be saved by simply incubating the bucket of beads in the fridge overnight and then inserting into the unit when required.
Ideal for maintaining reagents at 4C for the entire laboratory working day Great for incubating samples for short or long periods at temperatures down to 0C

BLCKICE
The BLCKICE holds two standard aluminum insert blocks or a 96-well plate block from our Dri-Block range, offering fast cool-down times to ensure the unit is quickly available for use. Like the N ICE, the BLCKICE is ideal for incubating samples at sub-ambient temperatures, but with more accurate temperature control and additional timer/alarm features. The integrated timer allows up to 9 days to be programmed, only starting when a stable temperature has been reached. A buzzer sounds when the set temperature is reached and at the end of the elapsed time.
