Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed information about the PCH-1, PCH-2, and PCH-3 dry block systems by Grant Instruments, designed for rapid heating and cooling of microtubes. These systems are particularly useful for DNA/RNA sample preparation techniques.
Specifications:
  • Temperature Range: -10°C to 100°C with rapid heating and cooling capabilities.
  • Stability: ±0.1°C.
  • Models: PCH-1 holds up to 32 microtubes (12 x 1.5ml and 20 x 0.5ml), PCH-2 holds 20 x 1.5ml microtubes, and PCH-3 holds 20 x 2ml microtubes.
  • Display: 2-line LCD showing set and actual temperature and time values.
  • Timer: Ranges from 1 minute to 96 hours or non-stop.
  • Power Supply: AC 120-230V, 50/60Hz input, DC 12V output, with a power consumption of 55W.
  • Dimensions and Weight: Each model measures 165mm (h) x 260mm (d) x 240mm (w) and weighs 3.2kg.
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 audible alarm for denaturation time-up.
Applications:
  • Life-science applications include storing restriction enzymes, nick translations, ligation reactions, restriction digests, protein solubilization for PAGE, and enzyme reactions.
  • Clinical applications include cooling blood samples prior to coagulation testing.
Warranty: The systems come with a 2-year warranty.

PCH Series Personal Benchtop Cooler / Heater-1

Dry block for heating and cooling PCH-1, PCH-2 and PCH-3 Compact, flexible, easy to use systems for rapid heating and cooling of microtubes; very effective tools for DNA/RNA sample preparation techniques. Dry blocks for heating and cooling Dry blocks for heating and cooling » PCH-1, PCH-2 and PCH-3 • Cooling/heating setting range from -10°C to 100°C, with very rapid cool down and heat-up times • Stability: ±0.1°C • Choice of three models: capacity for up to 32 microtubes in a combination of two sizes (PCH-1) or up to 20 microtubes of one year warranty • Convenient integral reaction timer with audible alarm Model PCH-1 shown PCH-1 Block holds a combination of two microtube sizes simultaneously – up to a total of 32 tubes: 12 x 1.5ml plus 20 x 0.5ml. PCH-2 up to a total of 20 x 1.5ml mictrotubes. PCH-3 up to a total of 20 x 2ml microtubes. Ingenious block construction, combined with powerful Peltier cooler, produces very rapid heating and cooling. Dry temperature control system maintains clean and aerosol-free environment. 2-line LCD display clearly indicates both set and actual values for temperature and time. Rapid DNA denaturation at 95°C quickly achieved. DNA denaturation techniques further supported with an audible alarm for denaturation ‘time-up’; samples can then be quickly cooled. Simple push button combinations for easy set-up. • Life-science - storing restriction enzymes, nick translations, ligation reactions, restriction digests, protein solubilisation for PAGE, warm incubation of microcentrifuge tubes for hybridisation, enzyme reactions and deactivations • Clinical - cooling blood samples prior to coagulation testing © Grant Instruments (Cambridge) Ltd
