Dry bath incubator, digital mini & lab

What is a dry bath incubator?

A dry bath incubator is also called thermostatic metal bath or dry bath. It adopts microcomputer control and uses high-purity aluminum material as the heat conduction medium to heat the sample, which can replace the traditional water bath device. The problem of traditional water bath heating pollution can be avoided, and the temperature control is more accurate and the temperature control range is larger. Most dry bath incubators are made of an aluminum alloy which allows distribution of the heat in a uniform manner. Normally it is composed of a host and a block (removable/ non-removable). The block has many specifications to suits for different centrifuge tubes.

The equipment has the characteristics of convenient use, large temperature control range and high precision. It is widely used in sample preservation and reaction, DNA amplification and electrophoresis pre-denaturation, serum coagulation and other biochemical sample constant temperature incubation processes.

How to use dry bath incubator ？

Using a dry bath incubator properly will ensure you get the best results of your application and extend its lifespan.
The suggested standard operating procedure is as follows:
1) Make sure the machine is seated evenly and firmly. An uneven surface could cause damage as the machine can vibrate when rotate at high speed.
2) Clean the cone hole of the block before use.
3) Put in tubes/ plate and close the lid.
4) Close the lid and power on.
5) Basic operation： procedures selecting; temperature setting; speed setting; time setting.
6) The machine start working. When finished running, system will stop running automatically, and displays current temperature.
8) Power off,open the cover and take out the sample.
9) Cut off the power supply,clean the machine.

Dry bath incubator principle

A dry bath incubator directly or indirectly controls one or more heat and cold sources to maintain a desired temperature. To achieve this function, a dry bath incubator must have a sensing element and a transducer. The sensing element measures the temperature change and has the desired effect on the transducer. The converter converts the action from the sensing element into action that allows proper control of the temperature changing device.
