Freeze-Thaw Cycler
FTC-4A unit is the automated device for freeze-thaw cycling of lipid suspension in liposome preparation protocol. In addition it can be used as a table top cooler for convenient storage of small samples right on a work bench. FTC-4 consist of two parts: electronic timer/current controller and thermoelectric cooler connected to the controller by ~1 m (~3.5 feet) cable. Thermoelectric cooler consist of four well sample chamber, milled from chemically inert Teflon, and placed on top of a Peltier heat pump, aluminum heatsink and cooling fan. While FTC-4A is capable for freeze-thaw cycling of small samples at normal room temperature, it works faster and with larger samples in cold room environment +4-6 oC. If cold room is not available, thermoelectric cooler can be placed inside a regular refrigerator for improved efficiency.
