Thermo Dry Baths & Cooling Heating Blocks
Achieve unparalleled temperature precision with WIX Technology’s Thermo Dry Baths. Designed for advanced molecular biology workflows, our flagship models, such as the WIX-dryBATH-HC, eliminate the contamination risks of traditional water baths while providing both powerful heating and active cooling capabilities. Featuring intuitive programmable controls, excellent thermal insulation, and an innovative tool-free module connection, browse our static dry block heaters below for highly accurate sample incubation and preservation.
Advanced Thermo Dry Baths for Precise Lab Incubation
In life science research, many protocols require more than just basic heating. Strict temperature control, including rapid sub-ambient cooling, is crucial for processes like halting enzyme reactions or preserving RNA integrity. WIX Technology’s Thermo Dry Baths are sophisticated thermal management instruments engineered to meet these demanding laboratory standards. Our systems guarantee an incredibly stable environment with temperature deviations as low as ±0.5℃ (when operating between 20-45℃), ensuring absolute reproducibility for your most sensitive biological assays.
Innovative Features of WIX Dry Bath Systems
We have designed our dry block heaters based on real laboratory user feedback, integrating unique mechanical and thermal innovations:
-
Heating and Cooling Capabilities: Unlike standard heating blocks, our advanced WIX-dryBATH-HC model incorporates active cooling technology. It can achieve temperatures up to 25℃ lower than ambient room temperature, while reaching a maximum of 100℃.
-
Tool-Free Module Connection: Swapping heating blocks for different tube sizes is now effortless. Our dry baths feature an innovative push-and-pull chucking module connection. The aluminum bearing module adheres to the machine automatically without the need for screws or external tools.
-
Superior Heat Retention: Each unit is equipped with a specialized insulation function cover. This crucial design feature avoids heat loss, maintains strict thermal uniformity across all sample tubes, and protects operators from accidental burns.
-
Programmable Controls: The intelligent digital interface allows for complex program editing and storage, streamlining your repetitive daily protocols and minimizing manual input errors.
Interchangeable Bearing Modules
Laboratory workflows demand versatility. WIX thermo dry baths support a wide selection of bearing modules (aluminum blocks). Whether you are incubating 0.2ml PCR tubes, 1.5ml microcentrifuge tubes, or larger formats, you can easily swap the modules using our tool-free automatic chucking system to accommodate your specific experiment.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can the WIX-dryBATH-HC cool samples below room temperature?
A: Yes. The WIX-dryBATH-HC Thermo Dry Bath is explicitly designed with both heating and cooling functions. It can actively cool samples up to 25℃ lower than the ambient room temperature, making it ideal for sub-ambient sample preservation and rapid thermal cycling.
Q: How do I change the heating blocks for different tube sizes?
A: Changing blocks is fast and completely tool-free. Our dry baths utilize a proprietary push-and-pull chucking module connection. The module securely adheres to the base unit automatically, eliminating the tedious process of tightening and loosening screws.
Q: What is the difference between this category and your Oscillating Dry Baths?
A: The products in this “Dry Bath” category (such as the WIX-dryBATH-HC) focus purely on highly accurate static temperature control (heating and cooling). If your application requires simultaneous shaking or mixing of the samples (e.g., the WIX-dryBATH-HCS model), please visit our dedicated “Oscillating Dry Bath” sub-category.
