CS Cleaver TCDB-01 Dry Bath

• Sample incubation in molecular biology.
• Enzyme reactions and denaturation.
• DNA/RNA purification and amplification.
• Blood coagulation studies.
• General laboratory heating for small samples.

Temperature range

Typically ambient +5°C to 100°C or 150°C, depending on the specific model and block.

Temperature stability

Commonly ±0.1°C to ±0.5°C for this class of equipment.

Block capacity

Typically accommodates one or two interchangeable blocks, designed for various tube sizes (e.g., 0.2ml, 0.5ml, 1.5ml, 2.0ml microcentrifuge tubes, PCR strips).

Heating method

Dry heating via resistive elements, providing uniform temperature distribution within the block.

Power supply

Commonly 230V, 50/60Hz for units sold in the UK, with power consumption typically ranging from 100W to 300W.

Control interface

Usually features a digital display and keypad for temperature setting and monitoring.

• What types of samples can be processed in a dry bath?

  Dry baths are suitable for heating or incubating small volume samples in various tubes, such as microcentrifuge tubes, PCR tubes, and test tubes, depending on the compatible heat blocks.

• Are heat blocks included with the unit?

• How do I ensure temperature accuracy?

• What maintenance is required for a dry bath?

• Can this unit be used for cooling applications?

Dry block heaters are valued in laboratory and biotech settings for reliable, uniform sample heating. Buyers typically appreciate their compact design, precise temperature control, and ease of use. When purchasing used units, checking calibration accuracy, element functionality, and power cord condition remains important. Industry sentiment favours models with consistent performance records and minimal maintenance history. Common strengths include rapid heat-up times, good temperature stability, and compatibility with standard microtubes and vials. Corrosion resistance in the heating block surface is often considered desirable for longevity.
