Description

The Xenopus Thaw Float is a custom-designed, 3D-printed laboratory tool tailored for thawing of cryopreserved Xenopus samples. Engineered to fit one Corning 2 mL vial , the float ensures stability and buoyancy during the thawing process in a water bath. 

A key feature of the float is its integrated labeling, which indicates the recommended thawing temperature (e.g., 37°C) and duration (e.g., 33 seconds), helping researchers maintain consistency across experiments. This is especially useful in high-throughput or multi-user lab environments where standardized protocols are critical.

Ideal for developmental biology and reproductive research, the Xenopus thaw float streamlines sample preparation, reduces handling errors, and supports best practices in cryopreservation workflows.
