Sigma
Description
CoolCelll FTS30 utilizes a solid state core and controlled microconvection technology to evenly draw in -80°C freezer air through a bottom base vent, uniformly disperse the cold air around each vial in the central chamber and then release the thermal load from the vials through a top vent choke. The inner vial module holds 30 cryogenic vials and can be removed in one step. Each vial achieves a uniform and reproducible -1°C/minute freezing profile and thermal profiles are highly reproducible. Due to the low thermal mass of the uniform-density cross-linked polyethylene foam container, freezing can be conducted without a rise in local freezer temperature, thereby protecting nearby samples.
Application :
-For 30 standard 1.0 mL to 2.0 mL cryogenic vials.
-Controlled micro-convection for uniform freezing of 30 vials.
-Removable vial tray for one-step transfer of samples into and out of freezing chamber.

General Description
Non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs) are currently a major focus of research in the development of bulk-heterojunction organic solar cells (OSCs). In contrast to the widely used fullerene acceptors (FAs), the optical properties and electronic energy levels of NFAs can be designed and readily tuned. NFA-based OSCs can also achieve greater thermal stability and photochemical stability, as well as longer device lifetimes, than their FA-based counterparts. Recent developments have led to a rapid increase in power conversion efficiencies for NFA OSCs, with values now exceeding 15% in a single junction cell, and >17% for a tandem cell, demonstrating the viability of using NFAs to replace FAs in next-generation high-performance OSCs.
Application
