Temp range: ambient + 5°C to 100°C

90-day warranty
VWR Advanced Mini Dry Block Heaters are ideal for a variety of applications that require accurate and repeatable results such as LAMP assays, immunoassays, enzyme reactions, and denaturations.
These personal sized heaters take up minimal bench space and are small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. They include a clear polycarbonate lid to help prevent evaporation and maintain temperature uniformity. The cover is easily removable when incubating 15 mL or 50 mL tubes. Efficient heater features close tube and block contact with a low-density design for exceptional temperature uniformity.
PID temperature control provides temperature accuracy as low as 0.3°C and uniformity as low as 0.2°C. Samples are heated to temperature quickly and accurately. Temperature can be adjusted in 0.1°C increments. Touch pad controls with easy-to-read, independent LED displays for temperature and time provide repeatable and accurate results every time and are easily visible across lab benches. Timer will display elapsed time, or when programmed to a user defined limit, will shut off when unit reaches zero. Display will show last settings, even after power has been turned off. Temperature calibration mode allows user to calibrate unit to an external temperature device. Cool touch housing is constructed from a high quality, heat and chemical-resistant polymer. The unit’s housing remains cool to the touch throughout normal operating temperatures. In timed mode, an alarm will sound when the timer reaches zero and when the set temperature is reached. The heated lid helps to regulate the temperature and reduce the amount of condensation on sample lids.
Most of our equipment
is used and reconditioned. Our technicians test all equipment to confirm that it operates properly and to the manufacturer’s specifications. While we can’t test for a specific analytical application, we will do our best to simulate the conditions under which the equipment will be run. If you have particular testing requirements or requests please let us know and we’ll work with you to make sure these requirements are addressed during testing.
The photos above are representative. Please bear in mind that the equipment shown is currently in storage in our warehouse and that in addition to testing each machine we will clean all the equipment thoroughly prior to shipment. We often have multiple units of each model in stock and sometimes we're unable to feature photos of every single unit. At your request, we can provide photos of the equipment in your order after it has been tested and cleaned.
