What is a dry block heater used for?

A dry block heater provides a stable, controlled temperature environment for samples in laboratory vessels, commonly used for incubation, enzyme reactions, and sample preparation.

How does Peltier technology benefit temperature control?

Peltier technology allows for both heating and active cooling within the same unit, providing rapid and precise temperature changes and maintaining set points with high accuracy.

Are the blocks interchangeable?

Yes, units of this type commonly feature exchangeable blocks (often called SmartBlocks) to accommodate various tube, plate, and vial formats.

Can this unit cool samples below ambient temperature?

Yes, due to its Peltier technology, this class of dry block heater is designed to actively cool samples, typically down to -10°C, depending on the model and ambient conditions.

Is this suitable for sterile applications?

While dry incubation improves lab hygiene compared to water baths, the unit itself is not inherently sterile. Sterilisation of blocks and vessels should follow standard laboratory protocols.
