One Tool for Freezing and Thawing

TundraStore offers a wide cold temperature range to boost flexibility and save precious lab space as an automated freezer and more. For example, use the TundraStore to freeze samples down to –20 ºC, or thaw and chill them at +4 ºC. When TundraStore is combined with our SteriStore self-sterilizing automated incubator, every stage of your cell growth, freezing, and culturing process is automated and consistent.

FAQs

What is aerogel insulation? add remove

Aerogel, also known as frozen smoke, is comprised of air pores trapped in a dendritic microstructure. It is highly effective at blocking heat transfer.

What’s the difference between the TundraStore D and M models? add remove

The TundraStore M has about twice the capacity of the TundraStore D. Both can accept an array of consumables such as 96-, 384-, and 1536-well plates, deep-well plates, 0.5 mL tubes and 1.4 mL tubes.

What are the TundraStore stacker pitch configurations? add remove

TundraStore’s standard stackers come in 8-, 10-, 14-, 15-, 16-, 19-, 24-, 27-, and 33-pitch configurations. Please inquire about custom pitches.

Is TundraStore compatible with MicroDock? add remove

Yes! TundraStore may be installed on an enabled cart to easily yet securely dock onto the MicroDock for mobility and use in multiple larger lab systems. There’s no need to reteach positions or reconnect power, communications, and gas connections.
