Block Heaters

Dry Baths and Block Heaters

Dry baths, also known as block heaters, offer an efficient and dry method of heating samples without the use of water or oil. They are ideal for incubation, enzyme reactions, DNA denaturation and sample preparation. This makes them indispensable in molecular biology and clinical laboratories.

Precise Dry Temperature Control

Block heaters provide rapid and uniform heating via interchangeable aluminium blocks. The temperature is precisely adjustable and remains stable throughout the entire process. Thanks to the short warm-up time, the units are furthermore quickly operational. This contributes to an efficient workflow in the laboratory.

Interchangeable Blocks for Maximum Flexibility

The system operates with interchangeable blocks suited for a wide range of tube sizes, microplates and other labware. By simply switching blocks, you deploy the same unit for different protocols and sample formats. As a result, the equipment is particularly versatile and cost-effective.

Compact and Low-Maintenance

Thanks to the dry heating principle, there is no risk of contamination from water baths. Moreover, maintenance is minimal. The compact dimensions save valuable workspace on the laboratory bench. Operation is straightforward and intuitive, so you deploy the equipment immediately without extensive training. Our service team supports you with periodic inspection.

Broad Range of Applications

From routine sample preparation to specialist molecular biology protocols: block heaters are a reliable choice for diverse laboratory environments. They are also valuable in the food industry, for example for incubating food samples and performing enzyme reactions during quality control. Additionally, you use them in arable and horticultural research for sample preparation and molecular analysis of crop and soil samples.
