dry block heater

dry block heater with blue transparent cover and 4 modules

Dry block heater, also known as dry thermostat, is a kind of laboratory temperature control equipment using metal module as the heat conduction medium, completely abandoning the traditional water bath or oil bath method to realize the constant temperature incubation of samples.

Description

Dry Block Heater

Main Features

  1. Intuitive operation: High-definition LCD displays temperature settings, actual temperature, timing status, and more for easy, interactive control.
  2. Protective structure: Blue transparent cover prevents accidental spills and reduces heat loss, improving temperature efficiency.
  3. Multi-zone independent control: Four heating zones (A, B, C, D) each with individual timers—supporting parallel experiments.
  4. Flexible module adaptation: Standard modules for 0.2mL PCR tubes, 1.5mL/2.0mL centrifuge tubes, 96-well plates, etc.; custom modules available for diverse needs.
  5. Automation: Automatic preheating, power failure memory/recovery, and auto-run on boot for streamlined, uninterrupted batch processes.
  6. Temperature calibration: Built-in deviation correction ensures data reliability via calibration with external thermometers.
  7. Intelligent safety: Dual (software/hardware) over-temperature protection prevents equipment/sample damage or denaturation.

Core Advantages

  1. High-precision temperature control: Range from room temp +5 °C to 120 °C; accuracy ±0.3 °C, highly stable.
  2. Maintenance-free: No liquid required—cleaner, safer than water/oil baths, with no cleaning or fluid replacement.
  3. Efficient: Modular, multi-area design allows simultaneous sample processing, boosting lab productivity.
  4. Strong compatibility: Easily swap modules for different containers; suitable for R&D and clinical testing.
  5. User-friendly & durable: Compact, corrosion-resistant, easy to clean, long service life, low maintenance.

Working Principle

  1. High-purity aluminum modules conduct heat from internal electric heater for fast, uniform temperature distribution.
  2. Real-time sensor feedback to a microprocessor PID controller precisely regulates heating power for stable temperature.

Application Fields

  1. Molecular biology: DNA/RNA extraction, PCR pre-denaturation, enzymatic digestion, inactivation, thermal repair.
  2. Clinical & medical research: Serum incubation, coagulation, blood sample temperature control, reagent preservation.
  3. Environmental & food testing: Sample pretreatment, lysis, incubation, thermal stability analysis.
  4. Pharmaceutical R&D: Drug component stability testing, thermo-responsive material performance evaluation.
  5. Education & research: Teaching experiments, small volume sample heating, constant temperature control.
