Rectangular Ice Bucket by Globe Scientific Green 4.5L Cooler with Lid

Description

Product Overview

The Globe Scientific 455015G rectangular ice bucket is a purpose‑built cooling accessory for laboratory and scientific settings. Constructed from high‑impact, food‑grade polymer, the bucket provides a robust, chemical‑resistant shell that can withstand frequent handling, spills, and temperature fluctuations. Its green lid, molded as an integral part of the container, creates a tight seal that preserves ice melt for extended periods, reducing the need for frequent refilling. The bucket measures 330 mm in length, 280 mm in width, and 185 mm in height, offering a total internal volume of 4.5 L—enough space to accommodate multiple test tubes, small flasks, or sample trays. The rectangular footprint maximizes bench space efficiency, allowing the unit to sit flush against other equipment without compromising stability. Weighing just 2.2 kg, the bucket is lightweight enough for easy transport yet heavy enough to stay put when filled with ice and samples.

Usage

This ice bucket excels in a variety of laboratory applications. In chemistry labs, it serves as a reliable source of chilled water for temperature‑sensitive reactions, helping maintain consistent reaction kinetics. In biology and medical research, the bucket provides a convenient way to keep tissue samples, reagents, and diagnostic kits at low temperatures during preparation and analysis. The green lid’s secure closure makes it suitable for field work, where transport conditions may be unpredictable, and the bucket can be used in teaching laboratories to demonstrate proper sample handling techniques. Its compact size also makes it an ideal addition to quality‑control stations, where quick access to cold storage is required for short‑term sample preservation.
