Lab Armor® Chill Bucket

The Lab Armor Chill Bucket™ makes it easy to run your experiments without risking contamination from wet ice. Now you can cool everything ice-free — Lab Armor Beads power the new Chill Bucket. From 4 ºC to -20 ºC, the Chill Bucket delivers up to 4 hours of constant cooling on one ice pack or with a handful of dry ice pellets.

Are you tired of melted ice, puddles, floating tubes, and contaminated samples?

Choose this Waterless Solution that Protects your Lab Work. Every Chill Bucket Kit includes a durable polyurethane laboratory bucket and lid, two gel packs, and a mesh sack filled with 2 liters of metallic thermal beads. Essentially, you get a completely reinvented ice bucket. The Chill Bucket™ gives you amazing new ways to cool samples while keeping them dry and contamination-free. It's so cool, you’ll never use ice again. We promise.

Dry Beads are a Better Solution than Wet Ice

Vessels stay dry and in place. Keep samples organized. Avoid water puddles and float-away tubes.
Get greater temperature flexibility. Use Chill Packs or dry ice. Use ambient or cold beads.
Save on energy-consuming ice machines. The Chill Bucket can replace ice wherever ice is used.

Until now, all laboratory ice buckets were used the same way. By filling a foam or rubberized bucket with ice. But if you include ice, you create a significant opportunity for contamination. Solving a problem like this requires more than an incremental change. It requires a breakthrough. The Chill Bucket replaces ice with a cooling system comprised of Lab Armor® thermal metallic beads and ice packs. When you pick up a new Chill Bucket, you immediately notice that it's cold, dry, and shaped to balance in one arm. The entire bucket stays dry and does not sweat. It also looks polished and refined.

How do I use a Chill Bucket?

Cool the Bead Bag and Chill Packs in your refrigerator or freezer.
Then assemble the Chill Bucket - Chill Packs on the bottom.
Use the bucket and Chill Packs at 0-8 ºC or substitute the Chill Packs with dry ice for -20 ºC temperatures, or you can even create your own custom temperature range by starting with beads at ambient or cooled to 4 ºC, -20 ºC, or -80 ºC.

How long will the Lab Armor Chill Bucket stay cold?

The Chill Bucket can maintain cold temperatures for 4 or more hours with one Chill Pack. If you need up to 8 or more hours of cold, simply add a second Chill Pack to the bucket.
