Cole Palmer - Techne Blockice Cooling Heating Block
This listing is for the Cole Palmer Techne Blockice Cooling Heating Block
The unit is in full working condition and is ready for immediate use
The Cole Palmer Techne BLoCKICE (also referred to as CB-200, FBLOCKICE) is a benchtop Peltier-cooled/heated block designed for precise incubation of sample tubes between 0 °C and 40 °C, ideal for maintaining biological samples within the 4–37 °C range
Precise temperature control: Utilizes Isotemp™ technology to ensure uniform temperature across both aluminum blocks, with stability to ±0.2 °C
Versatile block inserts: Holds two standard interchangeable aluminum insert blocks from the Dri‑Block® range; can use one double-width insert for higher tube volumes
Timer & alert system: Integrated count-up/count-down timer programmable up to 9 days. Timer begins only once the set temperature is achieved, with an audible buzzer at completion
User-friendly interface: Features a five-digit LED display in °C or °F, plus a dark lid to protect light-sensitive reagents and help maintain temperature
Dimensions & build: Compact footprint (~190 mm × 240 mm × 225 mm), weighing ~3 kg, operating on 100–230 V AC, 50/60 Hz
Performance notes: Achieves 4 °C within ~30 minutes at 20 °C ambient; reaching extremes like 0 °C or 40 °C may take hours, although pre-cooling inserts can accelerate that
