Accessories for Dry Block Heaters

Dry block heaters are commonly used for heating samples in laboratories, and they usually come with various accessories to enhance their functionality. Here are some common accessories that can be used with dry block heaters:

Block Inserts

• These are interchangeable metal blocks that fit into the dry block heater. Each block has holes of specific sizes to accommodate different types of test tubes, vials, or other sample containers.
• Material: Typically made from aluminum or other thermally conductive materials.
• Customization: Some blocks are designed for specific containers (e.g., 1.5 mL microcentrifuge tubes, 15 mL tubes, 50 mL tubes).

 

Covers and Lids

• Some dry block heaters come with lids or covers that can be used to contain the heat more effectively, reducing energy loss and maintaining a consistent temperature.
