A new personal mini drybath, which has the smallest footprint
of any dry bath presently available, has been introduced by laboratory
equipment specialists CLEAVER SCIENTIFIC (CSL). The microBLOCK is an
ultra-compact mini dry bath with a 15 x 10cm footprint, so is not only small
enough to fit within the palm of your hand, but is also perfect for use in
laboratories where bench space is limited.
The microBLOCK, which features digital control in 0.1°C
increments of temperatures ranging from ambient +5°C to 80°C, is accurate to
within +/- 0.5°C. Six interchangeable block configurations are available for
0.2mL PCR tubes and strips, as well as tubes 0.5ml, 1.5ml, 2ml, 15ml and 50ml
in size, to offer the utmost versatility for many different incubation and
denaturation techniques.
A clear cover helps maintain block temperature uniformity
within +/- 0.2°C, while the microBLOCK's light weight of 1.8kg and optional 12V
car battery adaptor facilitates easy and convenient use within the field. Also,
due to its small size and minimal heating area the microBLOCK uses less energy
than larger dry block units.
