Easy-to-Use Digitally Controlled Dry Baths

A range of microprocessor controlled dry baths which are suitable for a wide range of tasks in most laboratories, including clinical, histology and molecular biology applications, is a recent addition to the CLEAVER SCIENTIFIC LTD, (CSL) range of electrophoresis products. Among the user benefits of these digital baths are precise, accurate control of the integral high wattage heaters thanks to the easy-to-use digital microprocessor control panel. Also, there is no need to check or re-adjust the thermometer afterwards.

A user calibration function allows easy calibration to suit in-house standards and requirements as and when required, while an RS232 port records block temperature activity. A data-logging software package which links to a PC can also be supplied.

Another important feature is the stainless steel block chamber within the unit which acts as a heat sink and promotes uniform transfer of heat from the heating elements to all the interchangeable blocks. This results in all the samples being subjected to the same temperature, regardless of their position in the block. A wide choice of different types of block are available and extra versatility is assured because these units can be used as water baths, simply by removing the block and filling with distilled water.

Two models are available in the range, a single block unit which will accept all of the standard blocks and a dual unit which will accept two standard blocks or one specially designed block to suit a specific application.

Both models are supplied with a block filter as standard.
