Biocision's Coolcells for colour-coded cell freezing are now available in orange and green versions, as well as the original purple.
Users can now instantly identify different cell types or different researchers' samples in a shared freezer.
In addition to saving time, cutting hazardous waste and delivering higher reproducibility compared with alcohol-based cell-freezing methods, Coolcell is said to pay for itself in less than three months.
Coolcell features a solid thermal core for consistent, controlled - 1C/min cell freezing in a -80C freezer, without any alcohol.
Requiring less than 5min between freezing cycles and no maintenance, Coolcell provides environmentally conscious cell freezing.
Eliminating the use of hazardous solvents, such as isopropanol, is a major benefit of Coolcell, helping labs to reduce hazardous waste and avoid cost for replacement.
The elimination of alcohol also means the elimination of variability in freezing runs.
Coolcell delivers high reproducibility, consistent cooling of -1C/min and identical freezing profiles each time.
The result is superior cell viability and function, and more reliable cell assays for scientific, clinical and diagnostic procedures.
Suitable for cell lines, stem cells, PBMC, any primary cell and yeast, Coolcell holds 12 screw-cap 2ml cryotubes for convenient multiple batch freezing in a -80C freezer.
No pre-cooling is necessary; Coolcell can be placed in the freezer at any angle and freezer heating is only one third that caused by an alcohol-filled container, avoiding thawing of neighbouring sample boxes.
Samples are ready for archive storage within three hours, while rapid recycling between freezes saves time.
The unbreakable, insulated design of the Coolcell ensures easy portability of frozen cells - without 'frosty' fingers - and the lid opens easily even when frozen.
