Frequently Asked Questions

How do I prepare CoolCaddy?

Store it overnight in a standard freezer before use, as directed by MTC Bio.

What temperature and duration are specified?

The manufacturer states 2–4°C for up to five hours. Actual hold time depends on use and ambient conditions; monitor temperature for sensitive samples.

Does it keep samples frozen?

No. It is intended to keep samples cool, not frozen.

Which PCR formats fit?

The listed capacity is one PCR plate, 96 PCR tubes or 12 strips. These are alternative PCR formats, not capacities to add together.

What other tube capacities are listed?

Nine 1.5/2.0 mL microtubes, eight 2.0 mL cryotubes and five 0.5 mL microtubes are listed. Check vessel geometry before use.

How does this compare with using crushed ice?

CoolCaddy is pre-frozen and holds supported vessels without crushed ice. An ice bath can accommodate different shapes, but it is not the same support format or temperature profile; validate the method for your sample.

Can I cool a reservoir?

Yes. The manufacturer lists one 50 mL reservoir, with MTC P8050/P8051 as examples. Confirm the specific reservoir geometry.

Are tubes, plates or reservoirs included?

No. Quantity one is the R4015 workstation. Consumables are separate.
