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 metalic beads and ice packs. When you pick up a new Chill Bucket, you immediately notice that its cold, dry and shaped to balance in one arm. The entire bucket is stays dry and does not sweat. It also looks polished and refined. And it feels strong and durable — perfect for life in the lab.

Just the right size.

It’s the bell-like shape and molded side knobs that helps you to carry it stably in one arm. If the knobs are too protruding, they get in the way. If they’re too shallow, they won’t hold the Bead Bag in place. It may seem incidental, but if the shape of the bucket is well designed, it makes the difference between a bad experience and a good one.
