Cold Storage
BioCision's CoolRacks consist of arrays of receiver cavities for tubes rendered in a highly thermo-conductive material.
At home, there are few risks involved with using refrigerators and freezers. If the power goes out, probably the worst consequence is food going bad. But in the lab, loss of power could lead to flammable or toxic vapors escaping
Filtration is the mechanical separation, based on particle size, of materials from fluids by using a porous membrane.
Lab refrigerators and freezers are arguably the most common appliance in laboratories.
New approaches promise financial and environmental cost savings while addressing the challenge of increased bio-specimen collection
With the aim of increasing sample integrity, designers have looked at cold storage energy sinks, associated components and subsystems to increase system efficiency. As a result, a new breed of cold storage provides greater sample protection while being kinder to the environment.
In addition to being able to reach and maintain temperatures as low as -86 C, today's ultra-low temperature laboratory freezers need to provide greater energy efficiency, smaller footprints, uniform temperature stability, and alarm system reliability.
In terms of performance, users should keep in mind that the warm-up time during a power failure, pull down time, uniformity and recovery time after a door opening are all critical to the daily conditions that samples are subjected to.
