IC22 Two Position Heating Block/Chiller

• Energy efficient Peltier design
• Digital control to 1°C from -10°C to 100°C
• 2 separate temperatures on separate plates
• Sample blocks for 0.2, 0.5, and 1.5 mL centrifuge tubes, 96-well and 384-well assay plates, 2 mL vials, various sizes of test tubes and more.
• Control at room temperature
• 2 count down timers (up to 30 days each) with alarm
• RS232 l/O port for control or data collection
• 2 data loggers
• EIectronic calibration
• "Heat" light illuminates red when plate or block are over 50°C for added safety

The IC22 Digital, Chilling/Heating Dry Baths are compact, completely solid state, versatile, reliable, and easy to use. Each heating/chilling station has its own Peltier module. 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.

The IC22 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. Additionally, the display can be made to show the countdown timers. There are power and buffer lamps on the front panel to indicate when the unit is turned on and when the buffer is collecting data points for the data logger.

The aluminum plates are very flat for good contact with the sample blocks. When unloaded, the plates will reach below 0°C in under 2 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°C can be reached on sample blocks as large as 10.2 cm x 7.6 cm x 15.2 cm in about 30 minutes.
