A dry bath, also known as a heat block or block heater, warms samples via a dry aluminium block without using water or oil. We supply Thermo Scientific equipment for incubation, enzyme reactions, DNA denaturation and sample preparation. As a result, you use interchangeable blocks for different tube sizes and microplates.

A dry bath warms samples via a dry aluminium block without using water or oil. As a result, this dry method prevents contamination, condensation and spills on the bench. Therefore, a dry bath is essential in molecular biology research, clinical diagnostics and routine sample preparation. Our Thermo Scientific equipment covers the full spectrum from compact single-block units to multi-block configurations for production environments.
Our range covers four main types, each suited to specific laboratory applications.
Standard dry bath (heating block): a compact device with one or two interchangeable blocks for general heating up to approximately 130°C. As a result, this type is ideal for incubation, enzyme reactions and sample preparation. Moreover, the configuration combines minimal bench-space usage with intuitive operation.
Multi-block dry bath: an extended device with three to four blocks for parallel heating of different samples or formats simultaneously. Therefore, you increase throughput in high-volume workflows. In addition, this type suits laboratories where multiple protocols run concurrently.
Cooled dry bath (heating and cooling): a device that both heats and actively cools, with a temperature range of, for example, -10°C to +100°C. As a result, suitable for temperature-sensitive reactions, ligation protocols and short cooling incubations of enzymes.
High-temperature dry bath: a configuration that reaches temperatures up to 150°C or higher for specific applications. Furthermore, this type suits DNA denaturation, hot incubations and analytical protocols operating above 130°C.
The power of a dry bath lies in the interchangeable aluminium blocks. Moreover, each block fits specific labware: 0.2 ml PCR tubes, 0.5 ml and 1.5 ml microcentrifuge tubes, 15 ml and 50 ml falcon tubes, and 96-well microplates. In addition, you use one dry bath for various protocols by simply changing the block. As a result, this equipment is versatile and cost-efficient for laboratories with diverse sample formats.
Wide temperature range: our equipment typically operates from ambient temperature +5°C to +130°C, with high-temperature configurations up to 150°C and cooled units from -10°C. Therefore, you cover both routine and specialised protocols.
Fast warm-up time: efficient aluminium blocks reach setpoint temperature within minutes. Moreover, this ensures short protocol times and high laboratory throughput.
Precise temperature control: PID controllers maintain block temperature within ±0.1°C to ±0.5°C, depending on the type. As a result, protocols are reproducible and reliable.
Digital display and programmable timer: clear displays show setpoint, block temperature and remaining time. In addition, built-in timers automatically shut off the unit after a set duration.
Compact design: minimal footprint on the bench saves valuable workspace. Furthermore, placement is flexible without water connection or special infrastructure.
Safety features: overheating protection, hot-warning indication and automatic shutdown on faults. Therefore, the equipment protects both sample and user from unintended temperature deviations.
DNA denaturation and molecular biology research: choose a standard unit with range up to 130°C and blocks for PCR tubes or microcentrifuge formats.
Enzyme reactions and ligation: choose a cooled dry bath with range from -10°C for temperature-sensitive protocols.
Clinical diagnostics: choose a unit with configured blocks for the common tube formats in your lab.
High-throughput workflows: choose a multi-block configuration for parallel heating of different samples or formats.
High-temperature protocols: choose a high-temperature configuration up to 150°C for specific analytical work.
ELISA and microplates: choose a unit with configured blocks for 96-well or 384-well microplates.
Laboratory and R&D: sample preparation, enzyme incubations, DNA denaturation and routine heating.
Pharmaceutical industry and biotech: stability testing, formulation and analytical protocols within pharmaceutical processes.
Medical diagnostics: blood sample incubation, immunoassays and molecular diagnostic work in clinical laboratories.
Food industry: incubation of food samples, enzyme reactions in quality control and microbiological preparation within the food industry.
Agriculture and horticulture: sample preparation and molecular analyses of crop and soil samples within agriculture and horticulture.
Universities and research institutes: broad use of dry baths and heat blocks for education, fundamental research and student practicals.

A dry bath, also called a heat block or block heater, is a laboratory device that warms samples via a dry aluminium block without using water or oil. Moreover, the device fits interchangeable blocks for different tube sizes and microplates. As a result, the configuration suits incubation, enzyme reactions, DNA denaturation and sample preparation.
A dry bath heats samples via a dry aluminium block, while a water bath uses a liquid reservoir. Moreover, the dry method prevents contamination by water droplets and condensation. A water bath offers, by contrast, better temperature uniformity for larger volumes. For small sample volumes in tubes and microplates, a dry bath is generally the better choice.
Our standard units operate from ambient temperature +5°C to +130°C. Moreover, cooled dry baths offer an extended range from -10°C for temperature-sensitive protocols. In addition, high-temperature configurations are available up to 150°C or higher for specific applications.
The equipment works with interchangeable aluminium blocks suitable for 0.2 ml PCR tubes, 0.5 ml and 1.5 ml microcentrifuge tubes, 15 ml and 50 ml falcon tubes, and 96-well microplates. As a result, you use one unit for different protocols by simply switching blocks.
Our dry baths typically reach setpoint temperature within 5 to 15 minutes, depending on the temperature difference and block type. Therefore, the units are quickly deployable in workflows. Moreover, the PID controller maintains block temperature within ±0.1°C to ±0.5°C.
A cooled dry bath is a configuration that both heats and actively cools, with a temperature range from, for example, -10°C to +100°C. Therefore, suitable for temperature-sensitive reactions, ligation protocols and short cooling incubations. In addition, this configuration provides thermal cycling capability for specific molecular biology workflows.
