Digital Dry Bath with Calibration (HB120-SC)

Digital Dry Bath with Calibration (HB120-SC)

PRIMARY CLINICAL & DIAGNOSTIC USES

1. High-Temperature Incubation with Certified Temperature Accuracy

• Primary Use: Provides a digital dry bath with extended temperature range (room temperature +5°C to 120°C) and includes factory calibration certification, ensuring traceable temperature accuracy for regulated diagnostic laboratories .

• How it helps: For the clinical laboratory scientist and quality assurance manager, the HB120-SC’s calibrated temperature verification (with ±0.5°C control accuracy) provides documented traceability for ISO 15189, CLIA, and other regulatory compliance requirements—reducing audit findings and ensuring defensible test results. For the patient, calibrated equipment ensures that temperature-sensitive diagnostic assays meet required accuracy standards, supporting reliable clinical decision-making.

2. Complete Enzyme Inactivation with Verified Performance

• Primary Use: Used for complete heat inactivation of enzymes (including heat-labile enzymes and restriction enzymes) and protein denaturation at temperatures up to 120°C, with verified temperature accuracy .

• How it helps: For the molecular biologist and clinical chemist, the calibrated temperature performance ensures complete, reproducible inactivation of enzymes that may interfere with downstream diagnostic assays—reducing false-positive results and improving assay specificity . For the patient, validated enzyme inactivation prevents erroneous test results that could lead to misdiagnosis or inappropriate treatment.

3. DNA Denaturation for Regulatory Molecular Diagnostics

• Primary Use: Provides controlled high-temperature heating with certified accuracy for DNA denaturation steps in PCR preparation, nucleic acid amplification, and regulated molecular diagnostic workflows requiring documented temperature control .

• How it helps: For the molecular biologist and laboratory director, the HB120-SC’s calibration certification provides documented evidence of temperature performance for accredited testing—essential for CAP, CLIA, and ISO 15189 compliance in molecular diagnostics . For the patient undergoing genetic testing in an accredited laboratory, calibrated equipment ensures that diagnostic results meet regulatory standards for accuracy and reliability .

4. Temperature-Sensitive Sample Preparation with Traceability

• Primary Use: Used for sample preparation requiring documented temperature control, including heat treatment of clinical specimens for certain pathogen inactivation protocols before molecular testing .

• How it helps: For the clinical laboratory scientist and infection control specialist, the HB120-SC’s calibration certification provides traceable temperature documentation for quality control records—supporting laboratory accreditation and regulatory compliance . For the patient, documented quality control ensures that sample preparation steps meet established standards for safety and accuracy.
