PCH series Dry block for heating and cooling

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed information about the dry block heating and cooling systems, specifically models PCH-1, PCH-2, and PCH-3, manufactured by Grant Instruments. These systems are designed for rapid heating and cooling of microtubes, making them effective tools for DNA/RNA sample preparation.
Specifications:
  • Temperature Range: -10°C to 100°C with rapid heat-up and cool-down times.
  • Stability: ±0.1°C.
  • Display: 2-line LCD showing set and actual temperature and time values.
  • Capacity: PCH-1 holds up to 32 microtubes (12 x 1.5 ml and 20 x 0.5 ml), PCH-2 holds 20 x 1.5 ml microtubes, and PCH-3 holds 20 x 2 ml microtubes.
  • Timer: Ranges from 1 minute to 96 hours with an audible alarm.
  • Power Supply: 100-240 V with an input voltage of 12 V dc and current of 4.4 A.
  • Dimensions and Weight: All models have dimensions of 165 mm (h) x 260 mm (d) x 240 mm (w) and weigh 3.6 kg.
Features:
  • Ingenious block construction with a powerful Peltier cooler for rapid temperature changes.
  • Dry temperature control system ensures a clean and aerosol-free environment.
  • Simple push-button setup and an integral reaction timer with an audible alarm.
  • Supports rapid DNA denaturation at 95°C with an audible alarm for denaturation completion.
Applications:
  • Life-science applications include storing restriction enzymes, nick translations, ligation reactions, restriction digests, protein solubilization for PAGE, warm incubation of microcentrifuge tubes for hybridization, enzyme reactions, and deactivations.
  • Clinical applications include cooling blood samples prior to coagulation testing.
Warranty: The systems come with a 2-year warranty.
