What types of blocks are compatible with a Grant QBD1?

The Grant QBD1 is designed for use with Grant-specific interchangeable aluminium blocks. Buyers should verify the availability of suitable blocks for their specific tube or vial sizes with the seller.

Can this unit be used for cooling applications?

No, dry block heaters like the Grant QBD1 are designed solely for heating applications. They do not provide active cooling.

Is an external temperature probe necessary?

While not always necessary for basic operation, an optional external probe allows for direct in-sample or in-block temperature monitoring, which can be critical for precise applications. Buyers should confirm if an external probe is included with this specific unit.

What maintenance is typically required for a dry block heater?

Maintenance is generally minimal, involving regular cleaning of the unit and blocks, and ensuring the block wells are free of debris. Calibration checks may be required periodically depending on application requirements.

What is the advantage of a digital dry block heater over an analogue one?

Digital dry block heaters offer more precise temperature control and easier setting of temperatures, often including features like timers and calibration options, which enhance reproducibility and user convenience compared to analogue models.
