96-Well Aluminum Cooling Block SLIYXTWIO Silicone Sleeve 0.2mL PCR

Description

Product Overview

The 96-Well Aluminum Cooling Block by SLIYXTWIO is engineered to meet the demanding requirements of modern molecular biology laboratories. Constructed from high‑grade aluminum that has undergone oxidation electrophoresis coating, the block offers exceptional resistance to rust, corrosion, and wear, ensuring long‑term durability even under continuous use. Its dimensions—118 mm length, 85 mm width, and 20 mm height—are precisely calibrated to align with standard 0.2 mL PCR plates and individual PCR tubes, providing a seamless fit that eliminates gaps and maximizes thermal contact. The block includes a custom‑molded silicone sleeve that not only insulates the aluminum to retain cold temperatures but also offers a non‑slip grip, reducing the risk of accidental drops during handling. After a thorough pre‑cooling period of 4‑6 hours at –20 °C, the block can sustain a stable temperature for 1‑2 hours at ambient conditions, allowing researchers to perform extended protocols without temperature drift. This combination of robust material, precise engineering, and user‑friendly design makes the cooling block a reliable component for high‑throughput PCR, qPCR, and other temperature‑sensitive assays.

Usage

The cooling block is ideally suited for a variety of laboratory environments, including academic research labs, biotech startups, and clinical diagnostics facilities. It integrates effortlessly with standard 96‑well PCR plates, enabling simultaneous cooling of up to 96 samples, which is essential for large‑scale gene expression studies, pathogen detection, and genotyping projects. The block also accommodates individual 0.2 mL PCR tubes, making it versatile for experiments that require separate tube handling, such as enzyme reactions or sample preparation steps. Its compact footprint allows placement on benchtops, inside incubators, or on dedicated cooling stations, providing flexibility for both bench‑top and automated workflows. The silicone sleeve ensures safe handling during high‑throughput operations, while the corrosion‑resistant aluminum body guarantees consistent performance across multiple cooling cycles, reducing the need for frequent replacement and minimizing operational costs.

FAQ

How long can the block keep samples cold after pre‑cooling?

After a pre‑cooling period of 4‑6 hours at –20 °C, the block can maintain a stable low temperature for approximately 1‑2 hours at room temperature, allowing ample time for most PCR workflows.

Is the silicone sleeve replaceable?

Yes, the silicone sleeve is designed to be detachable and can be replaced if it becomes worn or damaged, ensuring continued thermal performance and safety.

Can the block be used with other plate formats?

While the block is optimized for standard 0.2 mL 96‑well PCR plates, it can also accommodate other plate formats with similar well spacing, though temperature uniformity may vary.

What cleaning procedures are recommended?

Clean the aluminum surface with a mild detergent and a soft cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the coating. The silicone sleeve can be washed with warm soapy water and rinsed thoroughly before re‑attachment.

Does the block require any special storage?

Store the block in a dry environment at room temperature when not in use. For long‑term storage, keep the silicone sleeve attached to protect the aluminum surface from dust and scratches.
