2. Product Information
The Boekel MiniFridge II cold block incubator is a convenient and reliable way for labs to
incubate or store samples at temperatures from ambient down to 18
°C below ambient,
typically 4
°C . The “dry cold” of the MiniFridge II makes it the ideal substitute for those
messy ice buckets. The unit’s simple “press to set” controller makes it perfect for
maintaining the 14
°C used in ligation reactions or the 17°C used to store oocytes.
The MiniFridge II has a large open well which accommodates up to two standard dry
blocks (2” x 3” x 3.75” nominal, not included). The well can also accommodate flasks and
beakers and function as a refrigerated water bath.
Under typical lab ambient temperatures and low humidity, the MiniFridge II has an
operating range of ambient down to 18
°C below ambient, typically 4°C. The well
temperature will typically fluctuate less than +/-1.0
°C around the set point under normal
operating conditions. Excessively high ambient temperatures or high humidity may
negatively affect the MiniFridge II’s performance.
