New EchoTherm™ RIC20 Series, Peltier-driven, Compact Chilling/Heating Dry Baths

Torrey Pines Scientific announces its NEW EchoTherm™ RIC20 Series, Peltier-driven, compact Chilling/Heating Dry Baths with temperatures settable from -20.0ºC TO 110.0ºC.

These units are designed for remote controlled applications on robotic and bench top systems using a PC. Any number of RIC20’s can be used via the RS232 I/O port on each unit and PC serial ports.
Complex temperature/time profiles created by the user can be run by leaving the computer attached to the RIC20. Any number of units can be set to any single temperature via a single computer serial port. The unit(s) will continue to run the temperature instructed until told otherwise. The computer can then be used to instruct the next RIC20.


The RIC20 Series are compact and designed to take up as little bench space as possible. The units measure 6.5” (165 mm) long by 4.75” (120 mm) wide by 3.5” (89 mm) tall without a sample block.
Offered as accessories is the broadest variety of precision-made aluminum sample blocks available anywhere for standard assay plates, deep-well assay plates, centrifuge tubes of all sizes, vials, and most any size test tube. Custom sample blocks can be made for any sample container by request.
The RIC20 Series can be set to 0.1ºC and control temperature to 0.1ºC. Temperature settings are stable to 0.2ºC and accurate to 0.5ºC. Each unit comes complete with chiller/heater module, universal power supply, AC line cord for the country of use, and instructions including the Serial Port Command Set.

The EchoTherm™ RIC20 Series units are UL, CSA, and CE compliant.
