GC-CoolBox: Your Secure Solution for Cryroenic Sample Transfer

The GC-CoolBox is a high-performance sample transfer box designed to maintain cryogenic temperatures for an extended period. It is ideal for the temporary storage and transfer of frozen samples, providing a safer and more reliable alternative to traditional dry ice or liquid nitrogen methods.

The Challenge with Traditional Methods

•  Dry Ice: Sublimation of dry ice can lead to a build-up of CO2, posing a risk of asphyxiation. Additionally, dry ice cannot maintain stable temperatures over an extended period.
• Liquid Nitrogen: Liquid nitrogen poses risks of frostbite, asphyxiation, and container explosion. It also evaporates quickly, which can cause temperature fluctuations and lead to sample contamination.

Key Features of the GC-CoolBox

The GC-CoolBox overcomes the limitations of traditional methods with its innovative design and superior performance:

• Safety: The box uses a phase change material (PCM) to maintain temperatures, eliminating the safety risks associated with liquid nitrogen and dry ice.
• Temperature Stability: It keeps samples at temperatures below -70°C for at least 8 hours, ensuring sample integrity during transfer.
• User-Friendly: The box is lightweight, portable, and easy to operate. It can be reused after being cooled in a -80°C freezer.
• Wide Applicability: Suitable for the storage and transfer of various frozen samples, including cells, viruses, proteins, and RNA.

How it Works

1.  Preparation: Place the empty GC-CoolBox in a -80°C freezer for more than 12 hours to cool the phase change material.

2.  Transfer: Carefully place frozen samples into the pre-cooled box.

3.  Transportation: The box is ready for transport, maintaining temperatures below -70°C for up to 8 hours.
