Description
Sand bath, 6-block unit is a stainless steel dry block heater accessory engineered for versatile laboratory temperature control. It constitutes an ideal solution for retaining large numbers of tubes in different sizes along with irregularly shaped or unconventional samples. Anodized aluminum blocks accept vessels, micro tubes, centrifuge tubes, PCR tubes, PCR strips and plates, microplates and cuvettes; the solid blocks may be used for slides or bored to meet individual requirements. Silica delivers more uniform temperature distribution whereas stainless steel gravel facilitates faster thermal response. From manufacturer Ohaus, the kit comprises a PT100 RTD temperature probe, stand rod, thermometer clamp and socket. When precision matters the probe permits the device to show the prevailing block or sample temperature. This item forms part of the most comprehensive modular-block portfolio in the sector, offering over 40 choices. Net weight and gross weight are both 0,7 kg; packaging measures 0,3 m depth, 0,16 m width and 0,07 m height for a volume of 0,003 m³. The country of origin is the USA. Supplied as a single piece for 6-block units.

Questions about Sand Bath, 6 Block Unit
What is this article?
Sand Bath, 6 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.
