MACS® Cooling Tube Racks
Description MACS® Cooling Tube Racks are valuable tools for any procedure where cooling of cell samples is desired, and can be used in combination with the autoMACS™ Pro Separator. Cooling of cell samples helps to sustain cell viability. The tube racks are pre-cooled in the refrigerator (2–8 °C). The special coolant contained in the tube racks switches from fluid to solid at 8 °C and maintains a low temperature until the coolant is completely melted. The phase switch is visible. Do not cool tube racks below 0 °C as cell samples may freeze! MACS Cooling Tube Racks are available as single racks and sets of three. The MACS Cooling Tube Racks, set (130-092-990) consists of MACS Cooling Tube Racks Chill 5, Chill 15, and Chill 50. Applications Three different tube rack types are available for cell separations performed with the autoMACS Pro Separator. MACS Cooling Tube Rack, Chill 5 contains 24 slots for 5 mL tubes and can be used for cell separations of up to 6 samples. Chill 15 contains 15 slots for 15 mL tubes and 6 slots for 5 mL tubes.
