Understanding Ice Buckets
Laboratory ice buckets are essential tools used to maintain low temperatures for samples, reagents, and specimens in scientific settings. Typically constructed from durable materials such as polypropylene or stainless steel, these buckets are designed to hold ice or ice packs, providing a stable and cold environment for temperature-sensitive items. They are commonly used in biological, chemical, and clinical laboratories for processes such as DNA extraction, enzyme reactions, and preservation of biological samples. Many ice buckets feature double-walled insulation to minimise melting and enhance temperature retention, while some models come with lids to further protect contents from external contamination. Their portability and ease of use make laboratory ice buckets indispensable for researchers and technicians needing to keep samples cool during experiments, transport, or storage.
