When Sample Temperature Matters: How to Keep Your Cool in the Lab

Temperature control is critical to many molecular and cellular experiments, but managing sample temperature requires either the use of secondary measuring equipment or long, imprecise incubations in freezers or refrigerators. These inefficient methods lengthen processing time for even the simplest experiments – increasing workload, time pressures, and the risk of human error. With the development of new thermochromic science, product scientists at Labcon have created a series of centrifuge tubes and microcentrifuge tubes that give a rapid, real-time visual cue when the contents in a sample tube have reached a desired temperature.
