myBlock⢠Digital Dry Baths
Benchmark's myBlock™ series introduces several major advantages over traditional dry baths. They are the first digital dry baths to include advanced microprocessor controls, timed or continuous operation, and a removable hinged lid. In addition, an optional external temperature feedback probe can be positioned directly inside a sample tube, providing real-time control and monitoring of actual sample temperature.
A transparent lid helps to promote better uniformity and minimize temperature stratification in the block by maintaining a warm air jacket layer. It also helps to reduce energy consumption by minimizing heat loss to the environment. The hinged lid can be flipped open or removed to accommodate taller tubes.
Both the single and dual block models can be ordered in a configuration that includes the unique Quick-Flip™ blocks. These universal blocks accept tubes from 0.5 to 2.0mL and, with just a quick flip to the other side, accomodate 0.2mL tubes, PCR strips or (in the dual block model only) a PCR plate. Other blocks are available for tubes up to 50mL.
