Data Sheet

Description

These completely solid-state Digital Chilling/Heating Dry Baths are Peltier driven for both heating and chilling.  They use no CFC’s.  They are compact, versatile, reliable and easy to use.

Choose from 3 chilling/heating models with different temperature ranges and different speeds from temperatures A to B. The IC20 without sample block will reach below 0°C in under 2 minutes. It will also heat to 37°C in approximately 2 minutes. This rate of chilling or heating will vary when using a sample block.  It will also vary between models.  The IC20XR is fastest and the IC20XT will chill the lowest.  See the specifications below for details.

There are more than 30 standard sample blocks available from stock for most any sample container from assay plates, vials, centrifuge tubes, test tubes and more.  Custom sample blocks are available for most any container on special order.
