Ohaus Dry Bath Heat Block 1 Well 13.5 mm Depth Titer Plate Block

OHAUS Modular Dry Block Heater Insert, Single Titer Plate / Microplate Block (30400164)

The OHAUS Single Titer Plate Modular Block (30400164) is a high-precision, solid anodized aluminum dry bath insert engineered for uniform heating, thermal stability, and precise temperature maintenance of microplates. Designed for seamless integration into OHAUS HB Series Dry Block Heaters and Incubating Cooling Orbital Shakers, this single-module block features a precision-machined flat recess with a 13.5 mm cavity depth to accommodate standard 96-well, 384-well, or deep-well microplates (ANSI/SLAS footprint). Manufactured from high-density aluminum to deliver rapid heat transfer and eliminate thermal gradients across outer and inner wells, this block is an essential accessory for enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA), cell culture incubations, and high-throughput molecular workflows.

Technical Performance & Structural Attributes

• Solid Anodized Aluminum Construction: Machined from aircraft-grade aluminum with a durable anodized surface that resists chemical exposure, corrosion, and scratching during repetitive plate loading.
• 13.5 mm Precision Recess Cavity: Engineered with a 13.5 mm depth profile that surrounds microplate skirts to maximize surface contact and deliver uniform conductive heating to all wells.
• Elimination of Edge Effects: High-conductivity aluminum housing minimizes well-to-well temperature variance, preventing edge-well thermal lag in microplate incubations.
• Integrated Thermometer Well: Features a built-in vertical monitoring bore for external temperature sensors, RTD probes, or stem thermometers to independently verify actual block temperature.
• Universal ANSI/SLAS Compatibility: Accommodates standard 96-well, 384-well, flat-bottom, round-bottom, and V-bottom microplates without requiring additional adapters.
