CAP Accreditation

The HDigital Dry Bath with Calibration (HB120-SC) is a compact benchtop dry thermostat with extended high-temperature capability up to 120°C and factory calibration certification, designed for regulated diagnostic applications requiring documented temperature accuracy in ISO 15189, CLIA, and CAP-accredited clinical and research laboratories .

With a temperature range from room temperature +5°C to 120°C and temperature control accuracy of ±0.5°C, this calibrated dry bath provides consistent, uniform heating for specialized molecular biology protocols while the included factory calibration certificate provides traceable temperature verification for regulatory compliance and quality assurance records .

The HB120-SC features a microprocessor-controlled system with LED display for real-time temperature and time monitoring, an intuitive control knob for simple operation without complex menus, and interchangeable aluminum heating blocks compatible with various tube formats and sizes . The unit supports both timing mode (0 to 99 hours 59 minutes) and continuous operation mode .

For the molecular biologist and quality assurance manager, the HB120-SC supports complete heat inactivation of restriction enzymes and heat-labile enzymes for regulated molecular diagnostics, protein denaturation for SDS-PAGE and Western blotting, DNA denaturation for GC-rich templates and challenging PCR protocols, and high-temperature sample preparation with documented temperature control .

Safety features include over-temperature protection and an insulated lid that prevents heat loss and contamination . The factory calibration certification provides documented evidence of temperature performance for laboratory accreditation inspections, supporting compliance with ISO 15189, CLIA, and CAP quality standards .

For the patient undergoing specialized molecular testing in an accredited laboratory, the HB120-SC's calibrated temperature performance ensures complete enzyme inactivation, thorough DNA denaturation for challenging templates, and reliable high-temperature sample preparation—supporting accurate diagnostic results for complex genetic conditions, infectious diseases, and oncology testing with documented quality control.
