Dry block heaters are laboratory instruments that heat samples at consistent and controlled temperatures. They use metal blocks to hold tubes and vials, providing even heat distribution without the need for water.
They are commonly used in research laboratories, clinical diagnostics and educational institutions. Typical applications include sample incubation, enzyme reactions, nucleic acid denaturation and general temperature control where precise heating is required.
There are many ways dry block heaters support laboratory work, including:

A dry block heater is used to heat samples at precise and consistent temperatures. It is commonly relied on for incubation, enzyme reactions, nucleic acid work and other procedures where maintaining a controlled temperature environment is essential for reliable results.
A dry block heater operates by warming solid metal blocks that are designed to hold tubes or vials. Heat transfers evenly from the block to the samples, allowing them to reach and maintain the desired temperature.
Dry block heaters can accommodate a wide range of sample types used in research, diagnostics and clinical settings. These include microcentrifuge tubes, PCR tubes, blood sample vials and small reaction vessels, making them a flexible tool for many laboratory applications.
Most dry block heaters available through Pathtech offer a temperature range starting from ambient temperature +5°C and reaching up to 200°C. This flexibility allows them to be used for a variety of laboratory tasks, from gentle warming to high-temperature incubations.
Yes, many dry block heaters come with interchangeable blocks or inserts, allowing them to fit different tube diameters and types. This means laboratories can heat various sample volumes without needing multiple devices, simply by changing the block as needed.
A dry block heater provides heat through direct contact between a metal block and the sample tubes, while a water bath relies on heating water that surrounds the samples. Dry block heaters are cleaner to operate, require less maintenance and are better suited for applications where avoiding moisture is important.
Dry block heaters are ideal for applications such as incubation, enzyme reactions, sample thawing and nucleic acid denaturation. Their ability to deliver accurate and stable temperatures makes them a valuable tool for processes that require consistent thermal conditions.
Dry block heaters are built to offer uniform temperature control across the block surface. This accuracy supports reliable and repeatable results, which are critical in scientific research, diagnostics and routine laboratory procedures.
Most dry block heaters feature a simple digital or dial interface that allows quick and accurate adjustment of temperature settings. This makes it easy for users to tailor the heating conditions to suit specific laboratory protocols.
Pathtech offers a selection of dry block heaters with different configurations, including single block units for smaller workflows and dual or multiple block options for laboratories handling larger numbers of samples. This flexibility helps laboratories choose the right model for their needs.
Dry block heaters require very little maintenance compared to water baths. Regular visual inspection, occasional cleaning and periodic calibration checks are recommended to ensure the heater continues to perform within the required temperature range.
