Dry block heating/cooling
systems
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.
Ⅲ Cooling/heating setting range from -10°C to 100°C,
with very rapid cool down and heat-up times

Ⅲ Stability ±0.1°C
Ⅲ Choice of three models: capacity for up to 32

year warranty

microtubes in a combination of two sizes (PCH-1)
or up to 20 microtubes of one size (PCH-2 and
PCH-3)

Ⅲ Convenient integral reaction timer with audible
alarm

Model PCH-1 shown
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

Applications:

PCH-1 Block holds a combination
of two microtube sizes
simultaneously – up to a total of
32 tubes: 12 x 1.5 ml plus 20 x
0.5 ml
PCH-2 up to a total of 20 x 1.5 ml
mictrotubes
PCH-3 up to a total of 20 x 2 ml
microtubes
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

Ⅲ 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

Ⅲ Clinical - cooling blood samples prior to coagulation testing
