Ice buckets are so 2008, upgrade to something "cooler"

Techne: N° ICE is an electronic ice bucket containing ceramic-coated beads and the BL°CKICE cools tubes held in two Dri-Block® inserts. Both the N° ICE and BL°CKICE are ideal for incubating samples for short or long periods at temperatures down to 0°C - no more tubes floating in boxes of melting wet ice!

Bead technology enables the N° ICE to maintain any set temperature in the range 0 to 40°C, for example to keep reagents at 4°C throughout the working day. The small autoclavable and chemically resistant beads give the N° ICE the versatility to support sample or reagent vessels of any shape. Cooling time can be saved by keeping the bucket of beads in a fridge overnight and simply inserting it into the N° ICE when needed.

Techne Electronic Sample Cooling N° ICE Features
• Ideal for maintaining reagents at 4&degC for the whole working laboratory day
• Temperature range of 0 to 40°C
• Temperature displayed in °C or °F
• Autoclavable ceramic-coated beads

The BL°CKICE, Techne's first cooling block, offers the same 0 to 40°C range as the N° ICE, but with more accurate temperature control and additional timer and alarm features. This product holds different sized tubes in two standard aluminium block inserts from the Dri-Block range. Fast cool-down times ensure the unit is quickly availably for use. An integrated timer allows up to 9 days to be programmed, with a buzzer sounding when the set temperature is reached and at the end of the elapsed time.
The BL°CKICE also accommodates the N° ICE bucket of beads, if required.

• Temperature range of 0 to 40°C
• Count up and count down timer
• Temperature displayed in °C or °F
• Buzzer indicates reaching the set temperature and the end of the elapsed time
