Dry Block Heaters

Dry block heaters are versatile laboratory instruments used for the heating of samples in a controlled and uniform manner. These devices are essential for a variety of applications in molecular biology, microbiology, biochemistry, and clinical laboratories, including enzyme reactions, incubation of cell cultures, and DNA amplification. Dry block heaters accommodate various sample containers such as test tubes, vials, flasks, and microplates, with interchangeable blocks or modules for different sizes and shapes, providing flexibility across multiple experiments.

These heaters maintain precise temperature control, often with digital settings, to ensure optimal conditions for specific protocols. The temperature can be finely tuned and monitored, with some models capable of reaching temperatures up to 150°C or more. Safety features such as over-temperature cutoffs and insulated designs are common, preventing overheating and protecting users and samples alike.
