What types of samples can be heated in a QBD2 Heatblock?

This unit is suitable for heating samples contained in various laboratory tubes (e.g., microcentrifuge tubes, PCR tubes, test tubes) or microplates, depending on the fitted heating blocks.

Are heating blocks included with the unit?

Heating blocks are typically interchangeable accessories. Buyers should confirm with the seller whether specific blocks are included or need to be sourced separately.

Can this unit be used for cooling samples?

No, the QBD2 is a heating unit only. For cooling applications, a separate refrigerated or Peltier-based dry block system would be required.

What maintenance is typically required for a dry block heater?

Maintenance is generally minimal, involving regular cleaning of the unit and heating block wells to ensure optimal thermal contact and prevent contamination. Ensure the area around the unit is clear for ventilation.

Is an external temperature probe necessary?

An external probe is optional. It allows for direct temperature monitoring within a sample or a specific block well, offering enhanced control and verification beyond the block's set temperature.
