• Exceptional temperature uniformity and stability
• Reduces condensation on sample lids
• Optional external temperature probe
• Holds interchangeable modular blocks

Advanced Dry Block Heaters with Heated Lids are designed for applications that require repeatable results and superior temperature stability. These multi-purpose units are ideal for isothermal incubation, enzyme reactions, immunoassays, nucleic acid denaturation and a wide variety of other laboratory procedures. Integral support rod holder with locking knob accepts optional External Temperature Probe Kit. Optional External Temperature Probe Kit monitors actual block or sample temperature. Block heater accepts (1) one microplate block or  (2) two separate interchangeable modular blocks, accommodating various tube sizes from 0.2mL micro-tubes test tubes or vials up to 85mm in height. Each block has a thermometer well for measuring block temperature. Efficient heater features close tube and block contact with a low density design for exceptional temperature uniformity. The heated lid helps to regulate the temperature and reduce the amount of condensation on sample lids. Modular blocks are sold separately.

Operating Features:

Microprocessor Control: PID temperature control, with optional External Temperature Probe Kit, offers a temperature stability of ±0.1°C with a temperature uniformity as low as ±0.1°C. Samples are heated to temperature quickly and accurately. Temperature is adjusted in ±0.1°C increments.

LED Display: Touch pad controls with easy-to-read, independent LED displays for temperature, and time. Provides repeatable and accurate results every time and is easily visible across lab benches. Shows set-point and actual temperatures. Timer will display elapsed time or when programmed to user defined limit, will shut off unit when time reaches zero. Display will show last used settings even after power has been turned off.

Audible Alarm: In timed mode, alarm will sound when time reaches zero and when unit reaches set-point temperature.

Temperature Calibration Mode: Allows user to calibrate unit to an external temperature device.

Safety Features:

Caution Hot Indicator: Hot warning symbol light is illuminated when the temperature is above 40°C.

Overshoot Protection: If the unit exceeds the set temperature by 10°C the unit will automatically stop heating.

CAUTION! To avoid possible electrical hazard, do not fill well or block opening with water or other fluids. Unit is designed as a dry bath/incubator.

Operating Conditions:

Units can be run in environments from 18 to 33°C (64 to 91°F).

Applications:

Denaturing proteins, DNA applications, ELISA and other immunoassay studies.
