Cryo-Blocks are made of aluminum. They hold and chill titer plates and vials to grind plant and animal tissue for nucleic acid and protein extractions. Cryo-blocks can be quickly chilled in the 2600 Cryo-Station, and will keep samples cold during grinding to preserve RNA and proteins from heat degradation. The 2650, 2660, 2662, and 2665 Cryo-Blocks have about the same footprint and height as deep-well titer plates, and fit the standard clamp. The 2661 and 2664 Cryo-Blocks fit the 2195 Large Capacity Clamp. Cryo-Blocks are sold in pairs because they are used two at a time, to keep the clamp in balance.
2650 Cryo-Adapter for Titer Plates: Extruded aluminum insert for 2210 Titer Plate. When inserted in titer plate and chilled in 2600 Cryo-Station, 2650 Cryo-Adapter keeps samples in titer plate cold during grinding, preserving RNA and proteins. Sold in pairs.
