INTRODUCTION

The Nº ICE is a Peltier controlled cooling device ideal for incubating any number or size of sample tubes
at sub-ambient temperatures for as long as required. It is an excellent alternative to wet ice buckets
which can be messy, inconvenient and lead to sample loss or contamination.
The removable bucket that sits inside the unit is filled with ceramic-coated beads that both maintain the
user-set temperature and support the sample vessels. The ceramic beads are chemically resistant and if
required, can be autoclaved at temperatures up to 134ºC.
The temperature range of the Nº ICE (0 to 40ºC) means that it is also suitable for other applications
such as ligation and enzyme reactions where a constant temperature close to ambient temperatures is
required. The unit is supplied with a dark plastic lid which maintains the cooled environment and helps
to protect light-sensitive reagents.
