COOLING SYSTEM TO PROTECT HEAT SENSITIVE SAMPLES DURING HOMOGENIZATION
The BR Cryo Cooling Unit is compatible with the Bead Ruptor Elite and is designed to prevent the increase of sample temperature during the homogenization process. The friction generated through the bead milling process generates heat that is imparted to the sample. In order to maintain a constant processing temperature during homogenization, the BR-Cryo passes chilled air (-100°C to -50°C) into the sample processing chamber and across the sample tubes to dissipate heat.
Samples can be maintained at a temperature ranging from 4°C to ambient thus protecting heat sensitive samples such as RNA and proteins.
The BR Cryo can be used to maintain a constant temperature when extracting functional enzymes or volatile small molecules.
The BR Cryo Cooling Unit is not compatible with Tube Carriages > 7 mL or the 48 Position 2 mL Carriage
