The Thermoadapter Frosty cools samples.
The Thermoadapter Frosty is a modified height adapter which includes a PCR-Cooler. A PCR plate is placed
on the Thermoadapter Frosty. The PCR-Cooler cools the samples in this plate. The Thermoadapter Frosty
can only be used with skirted PCR plates.
Preparing and equipping the Thermoadapter Frosty
1. Cool the PCR-Cooler by placing the PCR-Cooler in the lab refrigerator with the upper side down.
2. Insert the PCR-Cooler in the Thermoadapter Frosty.
3. Place a PCR plate on the Thermoadapter Frosty.
The PCR-Cooler changes color if a temperature of 7 °C is exceeded. The color changes from
purple to pink or from dark blue to light blue. The color value in the recesses of the
PCR-Cooler is a decisive factor for cooling samples.
