Techne DB-2TC - Manual (Page 19)

THE DRI-BLOCK ®
Please read all the information in this manual before using the unit.
Techne's Dri-Block ® heaters provide a safe, dry, constant temperature source in the laboratory. The unit
can be used for incubation, boiling, inactivation, wet ashing, sample concentration, enzyme analysis and
many other clinical and industrial purposes.
The units cover the temperature range from 25°C to 200°C using machined aluminium alloy blocks as
the heat transfer medium: temperature control circuits are built into the unit. Independent indicator
lights indicate mains power, heater action and overtemperature cutout. An ON/OFF switch is mounted
on the rear panel, together with the mains connector and a double fuse holder.
The units are constructed of polyphenylene sulphide plastic, which is strong yet lightweight and can resist
sustained temperatures as high as 260°C. Even though the units heat up rapidly, highly efficient
insulation ensures that cases remains cool enough to handle even at maximum operating temperatures.
