Single Block Dry Bath

The Digital Dry Bath Single Block (HB150-S1) is a compact benchtop dry thermostat with extended high-temperature capability up to 150°C, designed for advanced molecular biology applications, thermostable enzyme inactivation, and high-temperature diagnostic assay preparation in clinical and research laboratories . With a temperature range from room temperature +5°C to 150°C and temperature control accuracy of ±0.3°C (25-90°C) and ±0.6°C (90-150°C), this dry bath provides consistent, uniform heating for protocols requiring extreme temperatures up to 150°C—enabling specialized assays that cannot be performed on standard dry baths with lower maximum temperatures .

The HB150-S1 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 including 0.2mL, 0.5mL, 1.5/2mL, 5mL, 15mL, and 50mL tubes . The unit supports both timing mode (0 to 99 hours 59 minutes) and continuous operation mode, with built-in overheating protection for equipment and sample safety .

Key advanced features include an external temperature sensor port (PT1000 compatible) for real-time sample temperature verification , USB interface for data export and quality record traceability , and a heat-preserving block lid that prevents contamination and ensures temperature stability . A sound reminder function alerts users when set temperature is reached and at run completion .

For the molecular biologist and clinical laboratory scientist, the HB150-S1 supports complete heat inactivation of thermostable restriction enzymes and heat-labile enzymes (preventing interference with downstream diagnostic assays), protein denaturation for SDS-PAGE and Western blotting at elevated temperatures, DNA denaturation for GC-rich templates and challenging PCR protocols, and high-temperature sample preparation with external temperature verification for quality assurance .

For the patient undergoing specialized molecular testing, the HB150-S1's extended temperature capability (up to 150°C) ensures complete inactivation of even thermostable enzymes, thorough DNA denaturation for the most challenging templates, and reliable high-temperature sample preparation with documented temperature verification—supporting accurate diagnostic results for complex genetic conditions, infectious diseases, and oncology testing that require extreme temperature control .
