LabElite DeFroster
Automated Rack Frost Remover
The LabElite DeFroster is an innovative new product that quickly removes frost that may obscure 2D barcodes on sample racks. The DeFroster cleans sample racks using mechanical brushes and defrosting solvent. It has a compact footprint and can be used on a benchtop or mobile cart, allowing users to process labware at a centralized location or transfer the product between labs while running on battery power. Thanks to the device's revolutionary hands-free design, users will not have to handle harsh liquids during the defrosting process. Additionally, the DeFroster's touchscreen allows for simplified ease-of-use and customized user settings.
