Instructions for use
1.2 Features
With the IsoTherm system you can cool samples efficiently and at a constant
temperature for several hours and then thaw them gently.
The tube holder further serves as an aid when filling micro test tubes and for
provisioning, sorting, distributing, transporting, storing and freezing samples in micro
test tubes.
The IsoTherm system includes the components IsoRack, IsoPack and IsoSafe.
¹ Generally the centrifuging stability depends on the centrifuge, rotor, rotor buckets,
adapter, maximum rpm / maximum field of gravity (rcf), operating temperature,
centrifugation times, density of the centrifuged liquid, organic solvents, accumulated
total weight and proper operation.
