Insta-FRACK: A Greener Solution for Low-Temperature Experiments

Insta-FRACK: A Greener Solution for Low-Temperature Experiments

August 29, 2025 By instabioanalytik Admin

Sample tubes are a vital part of any laboratory. Ensuring that your cooled samples are properly stored for experiments is an even more crucial process, especially for those in fields such as microbiology or clinical research.

However, the traditional ice bath method can be a tedious and time-intensive process. Melting ice can greatly compromise experiment accuracy or contaminate samples, and the resulting water can make it rather messy to work with over time.

As such, we are proud to announce that we have partnered with Customtech to add their new line of Insta-FRACK cooled tube racks to our catalogue.

Introduction to Insta-FRACK Tube Racks

Plastic and stainless steel tube racks may be common in most labs, but they tend to suffer from issues that range from poor durability or condensation. This leads to inaccuracies in data collected, and it can be a major detriment to experiment results.

Thus, Customtech’s Insta-FRACK (FREEZE + TUBE RACK) was created to solve these common problems. While its ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) body material makes it just as lightweight as traditional tube racks, it also maintains a temperature of 4°C at room temperature for 4 hours without the need for ice supplements.

These test tube racks make use of a unique super-absorbent polymer coolant encased within the rack. This coolant helps to keep samples uniformly cooled. As such, it completely eliminates the need to spend time making ice cubes, as well as the mess caused by melted ice.

Features of Insta-FRACK Test Tube Holders:

  • Space-saving:Insta-FRACK test tube racks are capable of storing multiple test tubes of various sizes.
  • Consistency: Insta-FRACK ensures 4°C temperature uniformity across all tubes for up to 3 hours.
  • Simple maintenance: Insta-FRACK cooled tube racks only weigh between 220g to 270g, and rubber stoppers on the base prevent slippage on lab tables.
  • Customisability: Besides the main line of Insta-FRACK cooled tube racks, all Insta-FRACK products are fully customisable to suit any specific requirement, subject to minimum order quantity.

Why Choose Insta-FRACK?

    It is important to ensure that the equipment in your lab is of top-notch quality in order to get the best results possible. Here’s why you can place your trust in Insta-FRACK:

    Proven Results

    Insta-FRACK cooled tube racks have undergone extensive testing for quality and reliability. Tests run by the KCL (Korean Conformity Laboratories) have proven that Insta-FRACK is better at maintaining consistent temperatures than competing brands on the market.

    Trusted by the industry

    We place immense trust in Insta-FRACK, and the wider Asian scientific community agrees with us too. Insta-FRACK has won multiple awards at trade shows such as ITEX (International Invention, Innovation & Technology Exhibition) and the Taiwan Innotech Expo.

    Moreover, Insta-FRACK is certified as a Green Technology by the Korean Ministry of Agriculture, Food, and Rural Affairs.
