Heater Blocks

In laboratories, heater blocks are utilized to precisely heat sample tubes, vials, and plates. Labec provides two primary types of heater blocks: dry block heaters and digestion block heaters. The former allows for a temperature range of 5°C to 150°C, while the latter can reach a maximum temperature of 400°C! Our heater blocks guarantee even heat distribution and consistent temperature conditions for your incubation and thermal reactions during experiments.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is a heater block?

A heater block, also known as a block heater laboratory or block heater lab, is a precision heating device used to maintain consistent temperatures for multiple samples simultaneously. It typically consists of a metal block with wells for holding test tubes or vials.

What is the use of a heater block in a laboratory?

Heater blocks are used in laboratories for:

– Incubating samples at specific temperatures

– Performing enzymatic reactions

– Denaturing DNA or proteins

– Warming reagents before use

– Conducting small-scale chemical reactions

What are the different types of block heaters available for laboratories?

Types of block heater labs include:

– Dry block heaters for standard tubes and vials

– Digital block heaters with programmable controls

– Multi-block heaters for different tube sizes

– Cooling block heaters for below-ambient temperature applications
