The Master Science Dry Bath Incubator holds tubes in high-purity aluminium blocks instead of water, giving clean, accurate temperature control for sample storage and reactions, DNA amplification steps, electrophoresis denaturation and serum coagulation.
Two versions are offered: DBI-100 heats from 5 °C above room temperature to 100 °C, and DBI-R100 also cools down to 30 °C below room temperature and can hold samples at 4 °C. Interchangeable blocks fit tubes from 0.2 mL to 50 mL and plates.
