Increase Your Sample Processing With Controlled Multi Rack Sample Thawing

SPL Guard introduces a new rack thawing station called the SPL Guard Florida—the fastest rack thawing solution on the market. With the SPL Guard Florida, researchers can thaw multiple racks at once in a controlled setting, keeping up with the ever-increasing need to process samples faster while maintaining sample integrity.

The SPL Guard Florida can thaw up to 10 racks in as little as 9 minutes and can be used as a stand-alone system or integrated into a robotic workstation like a liquid handler. When the SPL Guard Florida is fully loaded with racks, it can thaw samples 60% faster than any other instrument on the market. The SPL Guard Florida can also thaw samples at a consistent rate and temperature, guaranteeing sample quality and sample integrity for downstream research.

The SPL Guard Florida has seven fans (150 cfm of air power) that are used to thaw frozen samples quickly and reproducibly. No excess input of heat, calibration, or maintenance is required. The large, custom-configurable thawing surface can hold up to 10 ANSI/SLAS format racks, and the holders can be used to position racks in portrait or landscape orientation or a combination of both. Next to that several adapters are available for centrifuge or sample collection tubes.

When using the SPL Guard Florida to thaw samples, researchers can reduce uneven thawing to less than 20% per rack. For other instruments in the market, uneven thawing rates of more than 50% typically happen.
