Mini Dry Bath
The Mini Dry Bath range from Vertex Analytical provides compact and affordable temperature control for laboratories that need reliable heating or heating and cooling of small sample volumes. These units function as a dry block heater, dry bath incubator, and digital dry bath for routine sample preparation, incubation, enzyme reactions, thawing, and molecular biology workflows.
The range includes the MDB100C heating and cooling model and the MDB100 heating-only model. Both units use interchangeable modules for common centrifuge tube sizes, including 0.2 ml, 0.5 ml, 1.5 ml, and 2.0 ml tubes. Their compact benchtop footprint makes them practical for laboratories, universities, research facilities, and industrial users in South Africa that need affordable and space-saving laboratory equipment.
Overview
The Vertex Analytical Mini Dry Bath range is designed for laboratories that require accurate temperature control in a compact format. The MDB100C model offers both heating and cooling, with a temperature range from 15°C below room temperature to 100°C. The MDB100 model provides heating from room temperature +5°C to 100°C.
Both models offer a temperature stability of ±0.5°C and a display precision of 0.1°C. As a result, users can manage routine laboratory heating tasks with clear temperature visibility and consistent control.
Applications
This Mini Dry Bath is suitable for a wide range of routine laboratory applications, including:- Sample incubation
- Enzyme reactions
- DNA and RNA preparation
- PCR sample preparation
- Thawing small samples
- Heating microcentrifuge tubes
- Clinical and research sample preparation
- Industrial quality control workflows
Module Options
The Mini Dry Bath supports a range of adaptive modules These module options make the system useful as a heating block incubator for laboratories that regularly work with small-volume samples.Performance and Convenience
The digital dry bath format helps users control temperature and time from the front display. In addition, the MDB100C includes multi-program operation from P1 to P9, which allows users to set repeated temperature and timing steps for routine workflows. The compact product size of 160 × 115 × 96 mm makes the instrument easy to place on crowded benches. Therefore, it suits teaching laboratories, research benches, diagnostic preparation areas, and small industrial laboratories.Safety and Reliability
The built-in over-temperature protection helps reduce the risk of overheating during routine use. In addition, the failure detection and buzzing alarm alert users when attention is required. The automatic recovery function after power interruption also supports smoother laboratory operation.
Heating and Cooling Dry Bath provides precise temperature control for incubation, preservation, and sample preparation
Multi-Step Program Storage saves up to nine temperature profiles, automating workflows and improving efficiency
Interchangeable Heating Blocks accommodate various tube sizes, maximizing flexibility for different laboratory application
