CH3-150 Combitherm-2 dry block heating/cooling system
The Grant-bio CH3-150 Combitherm-2 dry block heating cooling system is specially designed to thermostabilise materials at temperatures from –3°C to +150°C according to methods of analysis.
- Stability: ±0.1ºC
- Independently regulated heating and cooling blocks in the same unit
- Digital timer with sound alarm: 1 min to 99 h 59 min (increment 1 min)
- User adjustable programmes (temperature and time): 16 (heating) + 16 (cooling)
- Digital temperature control for optimum precision
- Temperature Calibration Function
- Protective lid
The CH3-150 has seven interchangeable blocks available. Custom blocks available on request.
Applications
Life-science - storing restriction enzymes, nick translation, ligation reactions, restriction digests, protein solubilisation for PAGE, warm incubation of microcentrifuge tubes for hybridisation, enzyme reactions and deactivations
Clinical - cooling blood samples prior to coagulation testing. acylcarnitines derivatisation, MRSA and PBP2 latex testing, heating flush/media used in egg recovery, fertility to keep test tubes at correct temperature during egg collection
Incubating samples at set temperatures, heating block for boiling of solutions in tubes
Life-science-cell digestion, DNA/RNA extraction, post sequencing PCT clean-up-dry down step, boiling in vitro DNA RNA/ protein samples, incubating invitro reactions/digestions, extraction of DNA for real-time PCR analysis, denaturing nucleic acid and protein samples
Industrial - digestion of environmental samples for chemical oxygen demand analysis, soil digests, maintaining temperatures
