Product Description:
The compact, completely solid-state EchoTherm™ IC10 Electronic Ice Cube is a reliable bench top or field-chilling device that is versatile and easy to use. The IC10 is Peltier-driven with no controls and, as such, will chill to its maximum capability when in use.
The chilling surface is a 2.875” (7.3 cm) x 4.375” (11.1 cm) aluminum plate that will reach temperatures below 0°C a few minutes after turn on. The temperature that is maintained is load dependent. Sub-zero temperatures can be reached on solid aluminum blocks as large as 4” (10.2 cm) x 3” (7.6 cm) x 2” (5.1 cm). Blocks 4” (10.2 cm) x 6” (15.2 cm) x 2” (5.1 cm) can be driven below 4.0°C in less than an hour. When insulated, these large blocks can be driven below 0.0°C.
The IC10 comes complete with the chilling module, 12-volt DC power supply with AC line cord, and interconnect cable for connecting the power supply to the chiller module. Since the chiller module uses 12 volts DC, using the interconnect cable can connect the chiller module to a car or truck cigarette lighter jack, and the chiller can be used in the field.
A sample cover is available for covering aluminum blocks that will hold centrifuge tubes or other samples. These blocks also are available as accessories.
