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. You can use the units 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 cut-out. An ON/OFF switch is mounted on the rear
panel, together with the mains connector and a double fuse holder.
The units are constructed in PPS 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.
Techne's Dri-Block ® range has been designed to comply with all relevant RF
(Radio Frequency) interference and electrical safety regulations.
