Daigger ALB-C1 Dry Block Heater with Cooling and Digital Temperature Control

The Daigger ALB-C1 Dry Block Heater with Cooling is a compact laboratory device designed for precise dry incubation with integrated heating and Peltier-based cooling technologies. It supports a temperature range from 0 to 95°C with an accuracy of ±0.5°C, making it suitable for sensitive molecular diagnostics and bioprocessing applications requiring stable thermal control.

Key technical features include:

• Heating method: Dual cartridge heaters (150W each) delivering consistent thermal output.
• Cooling method: Peltier cooling enables rapid temperature downshifts essential for temperature-sensitive workflows.
• Digital dual-display control: Simultaneous visualization of set point and actual temperature for real-time monitoring.
• Timer function: Programmable up to 99 hours and 59 minutes, facilitating extended incubation protocols popular in synthetic biology and gene editing experiments.
• Interchangeable heat block: The supplied cast aluminum block accommodates tubes with a 28 mm diameter and 65 mm depth, promoting uniform heat distribution critical in biomanufacturing sample preparation. Blocks can be swapped to fit various vessels, enhancing experimental flexibility.
• Safety systems: Includes over-temperature alarm, thermal cut-out system, and thermostat protection to prevent thermal runaway – a vital feature for safe molecular biology and clinical diagnostics operations.
• Power: Operates on AC110V, 50/60Hz with a total wattage of 360W.
• Physical dimensions: Compact footprint with a 13 x 9 x 9-inch size and weight of 24 lbs, facilitating benchtop placement in biotechnology research labs.

This dry block heater is widely adopted in cell imaging preparation and bioprocessing environments requiring precise temperature cycling without liquid baths, minimizing contamination risks. Its stable and programmable incubation capabilities make it an essential instrument for molecular cloning workflows and advanced biomedical engineering applications.

Included in the package is the ALB-C1 unit, a standard heat block, a 120V power cord, and a 30-day warranty, ensuring immediate usability and support.
