Description
Sand bath, 1-block unit is a stainless-steel accessory designed for dry block heaters, providing a stable medium for holding tubes, vessels and irregularly shaped samples that do not fit standard drilled blocks. The bath format allows silica or similar granular media to be used for more uniform temperature distribution around multiple containers of varying sizes. Constructed from durable stainless steel, it serves as a versatile alternative when solid aluminium blocks are unsuitable for the sample geometry. This single-block unit belongs to the modular accessory family from manufacturer Ohaus, which comprises more than 40 options for thermostatic devices. Net and gross weight are each 0,7 kg; packaging measures 0,114 m depth by 0,089 m width by 0,07 m height with a volume of 0,001 m³. Ideal for laboratories requiring flexible, non-liquid temperature control of unconventional or mixed-size samples during incubation, digestion or reaction steps. The stainless-steel construction withstands repeated thermal cycling while remaining compatible with standard one-block dry heater platforms used in research and analytical environments.

Questions about Sand Bath, 1 Block Unit
What is this article?
Sand Bath, 1 Block Unit is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Ohaus for laboratory use. It sits in Hot plates & heating blocks, inside Heating, drying & cooling, in Lab instruments.
A hot plate heats a flat-bottom vessel from below, often with stirring. A heating block holds tubes in machined holes so each tube sees the same temperature. The block's hole diameter has to match the tube, or the heat never arrives.
Temperature equipment either holds a set point or drives a sample toward one. An oven dries. A furnace reaches the temperatures of ashing and melting. A bath surrounds a vessel with water or oil. A circulator moves that fluid. An incubator holds the mild warmth of a culture. An autoclave uses steam under pressure to sterilise. The number that matters is the temperature the article actually reaches, not the number painted on the dial. Temperature is part of the international system kept by the BIPM and compared by EURAMET.
