Dry Block Heaters
(9 products)
Dry block heaters are versatile laboratory instruments used to heat samples uniformly in a controlled manner. They consist of a heating unit equipped with interchangeable blocks made of metal, typically aluminum, which provide excellent thermal conductivity. These blocks are designed with cavities to hold tubes, vials, or other containers, ensuring that heat is directly and evenly transferred to the samples.
Dry block heaters find extensive applications in molecular biology, microbiology, and biochemistry for processes like DNA denaturation, enzyme reactions, and incubation of cell cultures. The devices offer precise temperature control, typically ranging from ambient to several hundred degrees Celsius, allowing for specific conditions required by different protocols.
