DLAB MiniHC100

The Mini Dry Bath (MiniHC 100) is a compact, lightweight (≤1 kg), and portable digital dry bath (mini incubator) with both heating and cooling capabilities (0°C to 100°C), designed for precise temperature-controlled sample preparation in clinical diagnostics, molecular biology, and point-of-care applications . With a temperature control accuracy of ±0.5°C, maximum heating rate of 8°C/min, and maximum cooling rate of 3°C/min, this palm-sized instrument provides reliable thermal performance for a wide range of diagnostic and research workflows .

The MiniHC 100 features a microprocessor-controlled system with LCD display for real-time monitoring, programmable memory supporting up to 9 programs (2 steps each for sequential temperature protocols), built-in user recalibration function for long-term accuracy, USB interface for data export and traceability, and error code display for troubleshooting . Overheating protection ensures safe and stable operation .

The device accepts interchangeable aluminum heating blocks compatible with various tube formats including 0.2mL (40 wells), 0.5mL (24 wells), 1.5mL/2mL (15 wells), 5mL, 15mL, and 50mL tubes, allowing flexibility for different sample types and volumes . The dual power options (100-240V AC for laboratory use; DC12V for field or vehicle use) support use in space-constrained laboratories, point-of-care testing sites, mobile laboratories, and field research stations .

For the clinical laboratory scientist and molecular biologist, the MiniHC 100 supports DNA denaturation for PCR preparation, nucleic acid amplification, enzyme-substrate reactions for clinical chemistry, enzyme preservation (cooling function), serum coagulation studies, electrophoresis gel degeneration, and sample warming for coagulation testing .

For the patient undergoing diagnostic testing for infectious diseases, genetic conditions, or metabolic disorders, the MiniHC 100's precise temperature control (±0.5°C accuracy), rapid heating and cooling rates, and user calibration support ensure consistent sample preparation, reliable enzymatic assay results, and accurate nucleic acid extraction—supporting reliable test results that guide appropriate treatment decisions across clinical chemistry, molecular diagnostics, and point-of-care testing applications .
