Torrey Pines Scientific EchoTherm Model IC50 chilling/heating dry bath

Torrey Pines Scientific announces its EchoTherm Model IC50 — a Peltier-driven chilling/heating dry bath with exact sample temperature control.

The unit is supplied with a temperature probe to insert directly into the sample or into the sample block. The probe senses the sample temperature or sample block temperature directly and sends that information to the unit to drive and control the temperature exactly where set. There is also a sensor in the heater plate for allowing the user to set the plate temperature and use the probe to monitor the sample temperature.

The product displays and controls temperature to ±0.1°C. It can freeze, chill or heat samples from -10 to 110°C in assay plates, centrifuge tubes of all sizes, vials, test tubes and most other sample containers. It is particularly suited to the molecular biology lab for doing hybridisations, sample prep for PCR, ligations, enzyme reactions and deactivations and more.

The bath has a digital display and control of temperature to 0.1°C; a countdown timer in days, hours, minutes and seconds to 30 days; a surface hot indicator lamp; a data logger; and an RS232 I/O port to control the unit by computer or to record data. It comes complete with a 100 W chiller/heater module, a universal power supply, an AC line cord and instructions. It is UL, CSA and CE compliant.
