Intended Use

The Thermoline Dry Block Heater is designed to provide uniform dry heating of various shapes and sizes of tubes and vials featuring a wide temperature range from ambient +5°C to 150°C with an accurate control stability of +/- 0.2°C.

Heating blocks provide a safe, convenient and productive alternative to heating mantles and hotplates for accurate heating of PCR tubes, PCR strips, microcentrifuge tubes, microplates and cuvettes. Our single and triple aluminium block designs offer precise temperature control in small vessels.

Electrical Connections

All dry block heaters require a 10amp, 230V, 50Hz power supply. Use a dedicated outlet for the dry block heater, and avoid using power boards or extension cords. Each unit is supplied with a standard 3-pin moulded plug for connection to the mains.

Power Supply:

All dry block heaters are equipped with a 2.5m removable mains power lead, featuring a three-pin plug and a female IEC plug. Ensure the dry block heater is positioned at a reasonable distance from the power supply to prevent strain on the power lead.

The dry block heater itself is fitted with a male IEC socket for secure connection.

The main power switch is located at the rear of the block heater.
