Temperature Controlled Dry Bath
Description
Supplied with a temperature probe to insert directly into the sample or into the sample block, the EchoTherm Model IC50, Peltier driven, Chilling/Heating Dry Bath, senses the sample temperature or sample block temperature directly and sends that information to the unit to drive and control the temperature exactly where set. A sensor in the heater plate allows the user to set the plate temperature and use the probe to monitor the sample.
The unit displays and controls temperature to ±0.1°C. It can freeze, chill or heat samples from -10.0 to 110.0°C in assay plates, centrifuge tubes of all sizes, vials, test tubes, and most any other sample container. It is particularly well suited to the molecular biology lab for doing hybridizations, sample prep for PCR, ligations, enzyme reactions, and deactivations and much more.
Model IC50 has digital display and timer for days, hours, minutes, and seconds up to 30 days, a surface hot indicator lamp, a data logger, and RS232 I/O port to control the unit by computer or to record data.
The compact unit measures 6.5 by 8.75 by 3.5 in. It comes complete with 100 watt chiller/heater module, universal power supply, AC line cord, and instructions. A variety of over 30 standard sample blocks may be ordered as accessories. Special blocks can be made for any container in as little as 3 weeks.
