Star Lab N2400-4002 Dry Bath System

• Incubation of samples in molecular biology workflows.
• Enzyme reactions and denaturation steps.
• Sample preparation for PCR and electrophoresis.
• Boiling point determinations and melting point analysis.
• General laboratory heating for small volumes.

Typical temperature range

Ambient +5°C to 100°C, commonly found on units of this type.

Temperature stability

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

Block capacity

Units of this model typically accommodate interchangeable blocks for various tube sizes (e.g., 0.2ml, 0.5ml, 1.5ml, 2.0ml microcentrifuge tubes, PCR strips).

Number of blocks

This model number suggests a single block capacity, but buyers should confirm.

Power supply

Commonly 230V, 50/60Hz for UK operation, with power consumption typically ranging from 100W to 200W.

Footprint

Relatively compact benchtop unit, typically around 150-250mm (W) x 200-300mm (D) x 80-150mm (H).

Heating method

Dry heating element with precise PID control.

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

  Dry bath systems are suitable for heating samples in various tubes (e.g., microcentrifuge tubes, PCR tubes, test tubes) and plates, provided the correct heat block is used.

• Are heat blocks included with a used dry bath system?

• How accurate is the temperature control?

• What maintenance is required for a dry bath system?

• 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.
