Kryo-Tech® Accessories
2600 Cryo-Station
A holding station for samples which must be kept chilled to preserve RNA for extraction. The insulated outer
jacket of the Cryo-Station is chilled with liquid nitrogen and can be filled automatically or manually. Two titer
plates can be placed in the Cryo-Station well to be filled and kept cold. The well can also hold a chilled cutting
board to cut up sensitive samples for RNA analysis.
Cryo-Blocks for Cryogenic Grinding in the Geno/Grinder
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 2199 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.
2661 Cryo-Block for 15 mL Centrifuge Tubes
Aluminum block, holds fifteen 15 mL centrifuge tubes. Use with 2199
Large Capacity Clamp Assembly. Sold in pairs.
2663 Cryo-Block for 5 mL Polyethylene Vials
Aluminum block, holds twenty-four 2241-PE vials, as used in 2240-PE Vial Set. Sold in pairs.
2664 Cryo-Block for 50 mL Centrifuge Tubes
Aluminum block, holds six standard conical-bottom 50 mL for cryogenic milling. Use with 2199 Large Capacity
Clamp Assembly. Sold in pairs.
2666 Cryo-Block for 48 Microcentrifuge or PCR Tubes
Aluminum block, holds 48 standard (1.5 – 2.0 mL) microcentrifuge tubes. Sold in pairs.
