Automated liquid handling brings necessary scale to genomic assays and PCR master mix preparation, but reagents sit on deck for hours. While integrated active cooling modules hold components at a setpoint when powered, they carry capital cost and operational complexity, and a cold surface in a warm enclosure draws condensation.
This whitepaper examines an alternative to refrigerated hardware. Up to five standard deck positions can be cooled by passive cooling blocks, holding reagents at 4–7°C for over three hours per block.
