Ice-free PCR coolers for preparing and storing 96-well samples

Keeping PCR reactions cold while you pipette is a race against the clock. Heathrow Scientific’s PCR Coolers use a sealed, sonic-welded coolant design instead of ice, and are described as keeping an entire 96-well plate at 0°C for more than one hour. Each order is a pack of 2 coolers in your choice of color set.

Choose your colors

  • 120727: Pink and Purple
  • 120728: Light Blue and Dark Blue
  • 120729: Assorted (Pink/Light Blue and Purple/Dark Blue)
  • All: pack of 2, 96 wells

The colors are the only difference between the three options; size and well format are the same.

Cooling performance

Heathrow lists these cooling figures for the coolers:

  • Keeps an entire 96-well plate at 0°C for more than one hour
  • Keeps sample temperature below 5°C for up to three hours with the lid off
  • Signals with a color change, in the cooler or a single well, if the 6°C ceiling is exceeded
  • Well design prevents samples from freezing

Heathrow does not publish the test conditions behind these figures, so treat them as manufacturer-reported.

Designed for the PCR bench

Several features are aimed at day-to-day handling:

Patented lid

The lid covers samples from freezer to benchtop. It slides out, rotates 180° and serves as a stand. It is detachable and ambidextrous, so it can be switched for left- or right-hand use. A vented lid speeds cooling in the freezer.

Sealed coolant

The cooler is fully sealed and sonic welded, which contains the coolant.

Easy handling

Textured finger grips aid grip, including when wearing gloves. The compact footprint is stackable, and alphanumeric well identification helps you keep track of samples.

Compatible formats

The 96 wells accept 0.2 mL tubes and 0.5 mL tubes, and the cooler also works with assay plates, per Heathrow. Dimensions are 4.3 × 5.8 × 1.9 in. The cooler is polypropylene and the lid is polycarbonate.

What the listing does not state

Heathrow does not give an autoclave rating, chemical-compatibility information or a freezer temperature rating for these coolers. Confirm those details with Blue Tiger Scientific before relying on them.

Ordering PCR coolers

Each order is a pack of 2 coolers. The three options differ only in color. Choose your colors on this page. Blue Tiger Scientific confirms availability and delivery details with your order.
