Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

This unit is a 1-block dry bath, accommodating a single interchangeable block. Block configurations vary, typically holding multiple tubes (e.g., 24 x 1.5/2.0ml microtubes, 15 x 0.5ml microtubes, or 6 x 15ml centrifuge tubes).

Temperature range

Dry baths of this class typically offer a temperature range from ambient +5°C to around 100-150°C.

Temperature stability

Commonly, units provide temperature stability of ±0.1°C to ±0.5°C, depending on the model and setpoint.

Heating rate

Heating rates vary, but units are generally designed for rapid heat-up to set temperatures.

Power supply

Typically operates on standard laboratory power, commonly 230V, 50/60Hz, with power consumption in the range of 100-200W.

Footprint

Single-block dry baths are compact, typically occupying a small benchtop area, often around 15-20 cm per side.
