CoolBox XT System is a versatile ice-free alternative to ice buckets and gel-filled coolers. Cool, snap-freeze or transport samples without worry of contamination or temperature variation. Includes CoolBox XT base, collar and lid, and one XT Cooling Core for 0.5 to 4°C cooling. Available in purple, green, orange or pink. To use, pre-freeze the XT Cooling Core in a -20°C freezer until frozen. When ready to work, place frozen core into the base of the CoolBox XT and rest a CoolRack or CoolSink thermo-conductive tube or plate module on the core. Provides over 16 hours of 0.5 to 4°C cooling with lid closed and over 10 hours with the lid open. Magnetized collar secures tightly to the base providing a cold well for the sample module. Holds one thermo-conductive CoolRack or CoolSink sample module, including some with automation-compatible features.

Applications include ice temperature cooling, maintaining frozen samples with optional XT Freezing Core (requires one), snap-freezing with dry ice in the base, short transport of temperature-sensitive samples, cooling or freezing in tissue culture hood, clean environment or other area where ice contamination is a concern.
