Simple. The Station One thaws frozen samples and reagents in a fraction of the time using only ambient air. Dual fans intake ambient air and channel it upward through a perforated thawing tray where it circulates over and around samples. This simple action decreases sample and reagent thawing times by up to 75% without any application of heat. It eliminates edge effects, cold starts and sample to sample thermal variability. And its fixed platform enables highly reproducible thawing that can be proceduralized and validated under GMP/QSR, USP, and ISO. Intelligent. Station One's A.I.R. (Automatic Internal Redistribution) System design is a breakthrough of its own. Air is drawn inward by two fixed speed fans. The sealed inner chamber builds a steady positive pressure that gently 'spills' out the top continuously refreshing the cool air around samples with ambient air. Airflow restricted by samples placed on the thawing surface naturally and evenly redistributes itself internally. The result is a proportional increase in airflow through the open airways around and between samples. This basic action assures optimized thawing of any job big or small. Indispensible. The Station One's included accessory racks will fit most industry standard tubes from 1 to 50ml. The Station One’s large thawing surface accommodates two microplates or microtube racks at a time. Equipped with the included accessory racks it can thaw 34 large tubes (15-50ml) or 52 small tubes (1-2ml) in a single cycle. Station One has a compact footprint and consumes minimal power.
