Product Information

Say goodbye to unstable racks and experience safe sample handling with our PCR tube rack, the Eppendorf PCR-Rack.

In addition to sample organization and handling, temperature control should be a key part of your PCR setup. Ice buckets are a common way to keep samples and reagents cool, but they’re cumbersome and can create uneven conditions. Using the Eppendorf PCR-Cooler is a superior alternative to ice buckets. This low-temperature PCR tube and plate holder ensures sample stability and prevents premature activity, so you can achieve high-quality PCR results.

          How does the Eppendorf PCR-Rack make lab life easier?


          Handling PCR tubes and tube strips can be tricky. Their tapered ends make them prone to tipping, increasing the risk of sample loss and contamination – which is why you need a dependable PCR tube holder!

          You can safely transport, handle, and store your PCR samples with our colorful PCR tube rack. Dedicate one color to each lab member for easy identification and reduced contamination risk.

          You can safely transport, handle, and store your PCR samples with our colorful PCR tube rack. Dedicate one color to each lab member for easy identification and reduced contamination risk.

          Also, when working with multiwell plates, a pcr plate holder is equally important, providing stable support during pipetting and sample preparation. By keeping your PCR plates securely in place, it helps prevent spills, cross-contamination, and handling errors.

          Why should you switch from an ice bucket to the Eppendorf PCR-Cooler?


          The Eppendorf PCR-Cooler is a clean, easy-to-use, compact replacement for an ice bucket during PCR setup. Simply place the PCR-Cooler in a –20 °C freezer two hours before starting your assay and it will keep your samples cool for at least an hour. It also contains a clear temperature indicator that changes color when the temperature exceeds 7 °C. This feature is ideal for protecting your samples during PCR setup, ensuring they stay within a safe temperature range.

          What PCR vessel types are compatible with the PCR-Cooler?


          The PCR-Cooler accommodates 0.2 mL and 0.5 mL PCR tubes and PCR tube strips, in addition to 96 well plates.

          What color change can I expect after taking my PCR-Cooler out of the freezer?


          When taken out of the freezer, the background color of your precooled PCR-Cooler will depend on the model you buy. When its temperature rises above 7 °C, a clear color change should appear.
