What types of samples can be heated in a dry block heater?

Dry block heaters are suitable for heating samples contained in various laboratory vessels such as microcentrifuge tubes, PCR tubes, test tubes, and vials, provided the correct heating block is used.

Are heating blocks included with the unit?

Heating blocks are typically interchangeable and often sold separately or as specified in the listing. Buyers should confirm with the seller whether specific blocks are included.

Can this unit be used for applications requiring temperatures above 130°C?

The standard QBD models typically have a maximum temperature of 130°C. For higher temperatures, a QBH (high-temperature) model would be required, which can reach up to 200°C.

What maintenance is required for a dry block heater?

Maintenance is generally minimal, primarily involving keeping the unit and blocks clean. Regular checks for power cord integrity and ensuring proper ventilation are also recommended.

Is an external temperature probe necessary?

An external probe is often an optional accessory. It allows for direct temperature monitoring within the sample or block, which can be beneficial for critical applications requiring precise validation.

This listing is for a Grant Instruments QBD1 Heatblock.

The unit is in full working condition and is ready for immediate release.

The Grant QBD / QBH series are a versatile range of high quality digital dry block heating systems with excellent temperature control and a wide choice of interchangeable blocks for maximum flexibility.

The outstanding performance of the QBD / QBH series is based on advanced digital temperature control combined with high quality, precision-engineered blocks providing excellent thermal contact.

The result is accurate, reproducible and safe heating of your samples.

There is a full range of models and options to cater for basic through to more sophisticated applications - choose from three digital systems with 1, 2 or 4 interchangeable blocks (QBD models) and one digital high-temperature system (QBH2) with 2 blocks.

These are complemented by an extensive range of interchangeable heating blocks to accommodate your sample tubes - from our standard range of blocks or tailored to suit your application.

In addition, for 2-block systems QBD2 and QBH2 we offer accessory blocks for accommodating microplates and microtube strips.

Heating range ambient + 5°C to 130°C (all three QBD models) or ambient + 5°C to 200°C (QBH2).

Rapid heat-up time.
Stability and uniformity ± 0.1°C.
Integral timer function optional external probe for in-sample or in-block temperature control.
Robust, compact, contemporary design.
Block extraction tool included as standard, for easy and safe removal of blocks.

Block Capacity: Units of this type typically accommodate 1, 2, or 4 interchangeable heating blocks, depending on the model.
Interchangeable Blocks: A wide range of blocks are commonly available to fit various tube sizes (e.g., microcentrifuge tubes, PCR tubes, test tubes).
Heating Method: Dry block heating, providing even heat distribution without the need for water or oil.
Control System: Digital temperature control with an integrated timer function is typically featured.
Power Supply: Units of this nature commonly operate on standard laboratory power, typically 230V, 50/60Hz.

Dry block heaters are suitable for heating samples contained in various laboratory vessels such as microcentrifuge tubes, PCR tubes, test tubes, and vials, provided the correct heating block is used.

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.
