The file 'PCR Tube Cooler (for 1.5 Ml And 100-200 Microliter Tubes) 3D Printer Model' is (stl) file type, size is 1.9MB.
Laboratory PCR Tube Cooler for keeping you PCR reagents, RNA/DNA and reaction mixes cool while your doing your PCR prep. This accommodates 96 0.1-0.2 ml PCR tubes and 10 1.5ml tubes. It can also accommodate most PCR reagent vials (up to 10).
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:
Print the calibration piece and determine the amount of Vertical Shell offset that you need in order for your tubes to fit (approximately -0.15 to -0.20 mm for Craftware users). Use the same settings in printing the rest of the Main Body and Tube Holder. Fill with shaved ice up to the second line before placing the Tube holder on top.
You can also use plain water (if you don't have an ice maker). Fill the Main Body with distilled water up to the first line, then freeze. Before using, fill it with distilled cold water up to the 2nd line before placing the Tube holder on top.
The holder can keep your tubes cold between 30-60 minutes (approximate). Replenish ice as needed.
I still need to readjust this to fit PCR tube strips, but in the meantime, it may fit only single tubes.
