Programmable Chilling/Heating Plate with Power Supply
Chill, heat, or freeze two separate sets of samples at two separate temperatures with individual control from -20°C to 100°C without a sample block. These completely solid-state 2-Position Chilling/Heating Dry Baths are versatile, reliable, and easy to use. Each heating/chilling station has its own Peltier module, and the entire unit has only two moving parts: the fans. Each plate can be set separately for any temperature within the range of the unit without interaction between the plates. It has simple digital controls and a two-line alphanumeric digital display that is backlit for easy viewing. The display shows the target and actual temperatures of both plates.
The chilling/heating surfaces are each 2.875” (7.3 cm) x 4.375” (11.1 cm) aluminum plates that are very flat for optimal contact with the sample blocks. When unloaded, the plates will reach below 0°C in under two minutes. They will heat to 37°C in under a minute. The chilling and heating rates will change with loads. For instance, temperatures to 4.0°C can be reached on sample blocks as large as 4” (10.2 cm) x 3” (7.6 cm) x 6” (15.2 cm) in about 30 minutes.
Units come complete with a bench-top power supply, instruction manual, and AC line cord. Sample blocks and covers are available as accessories and are shown on the price list.

Applications
- Unattended restriction digestions or ligations at elevated temperatures then reducing temperature to 4°C automatically to reduce non-specific nuclease digestion of target DNA
- Automatically stopping reactions by having the unit reduce sample temperature after a specific reaction time
- Producing denatured probes or single stranded DNA molecules by heating to 90°C/95°C for a given time and rapidly reducing temperature to 4°C to prevent renaturation
- Automatic temperature profiles to grow bacteria at 37°C, then increasing temperature to induce events, and then lowering temperature to 4°C to prevent degradation
- Maintaining 14°C for ligation reactions
- Enzyme reactions and deactivations
- Maintaining 17°C for storing oocytes
- Storing reagents at 4C in 15, 50, 250, and 500ml centrifuge tubes
- Storing samples at ice bucket temperatures without the mess
- Incubating samples at 37°C in 96-well assay plates or in aluminum blocks holding 0.2, 0.5 and 1.5 ml centrifuge tubes, vials, and test tubes
- Storing enzyme or DNA libraries at your workstation
- Freezing and storing most any sample at your workstation
