The Pro Thermostatic Ice Box(CT4) is a compact, microcomputer-controlled benchtop cooling device that maintains a precise 4°C environment using high-efficiency Peltier technology, designed for temperature-sensitive sample preservation in clinical diagnostic and molecular biology laboratories .
Operating with a fixed 4°C setpoint, the CT4-Pro achieves rapid cooling from room temperature to 4°C in ten minutes or less, with temperature control accuracy of ±0.5°C and uniform thermal distribution across the cooling surface . The Peltier thermoelectric cooling system eliminates the need for wet ice, dry ice, or refrigerants—providing a contaminant-free, environmentally friendly benchtop cooling solution for sensitive biological samples .
For the molecular biologist and clinical laboratory scientist, the CT4-Pro supports DNA amplification product storage, pre-denaturation cooling for electrophoretic samples, serum coagulation protocols, and enzyme/reagent preservation during experimental workflows . The magnetic adsorption interchangeable cooling blocks accommodate various tube formats including 0.5 mL, 1.5 mL, 2 mL, 5 mL, 15 mL, 50 mL tubes, PCR plates, and ELISA plates, with tool-free module changes for workflow flexibility .
The CT4-Pro features multi-color LED status indicators providing real-time operational feedback (Red: cooling, Green: stable), built-in temperature deviation calibration for long-term accuracy, and continuous operation capability for extended laboratory procedures . The compact design (200 × 235 × 120 mm) and lightweight construction (3.3 kg) minimize benchtop footprint while delivering reliable cooling performance .
For the patient undergoing molecular diagnostic testing, genetic analysis, or infectious disease screening, the CT4-Pro's stable 4°C sample preservation ensures nucleic acid integrity, enzyme activity, and specimen quality—supporting accurate diagnostic results that guide appropriate treatment decisions across clinical chemistry, molecular diagnostics, and blood banking applications.
