The VWR 13259-002 is a professional-grade modular heating block designed for use with VWR and VWR Signature Dry Block Heaters. Precision-machined from a solid billet of anodized aluminum, this block ensures maximum heat retention and uniform temperature distribution for sensitive laboratory samples. This specific model is configured with 20 wells tailored for 1.5 ml microcentrifuge tubes (Eppendorf style), making it an essential component for DNA extraction, protein analysis, and general incubation protocols.

Technical Performance and Design

  • Solid Aluminum Construction: Manufactured from high-quality, anodized aluminum for superior thermal conductivity and resistance to corrosion and chemical spills.

  • Precision-Bored Wells: The 11.5 mm diameter wells are designed for a close-tolerance fit with standard 1.5 ml microcentrifuge tubes, minimizing air gaps and ensuring rapid heat transfer.

  • Integrated Thermometer Well: Features a dedicated small-diameter hole for the insertion of a glass thermometer or thermocouple probe to verify actual block temperature independently.

  • Interchangeable Design: Standardized "single block" dimensions allow this unit to be easily swapped out or combined with other VWR modular blocks to accommodate different tube sizes within the same heater.

Product Specifications

  • Catalog Number: 13259-002

  • Tube Compatibility: 1.5 ml Microcentrifuge Tubes (Eppendorf Tubes)

  • Number of Wells: 20

  • Well Diameter: 11.5 mm

  • Well Depth: 36.9 mm

  • Block Dimensions: 3.75 x 3 x 2 inches (9.5 x 7.6 x 5.1 cm)

  • Material: Anodized Aluminum

Operational Advantages

  • Exceptional Uniformity: The density of the aluminum block ensures that all 20 samples are maintained at the same temperature, reducing experimental variability.

  • Versatile Integration: Compatible with both analog and digital VWR dry bath heaters, as well as many third-party heaters designed for standard 3.75 x 3 inch blocks.

  • Durable and Safe: The anodized finish provides a hard, non-reactive surface that is easy to clean and decontaminate between uses.

  • Sample Protection: By providing a stable, dry heating environment, this block eliminates the risk of contamination and label peeling associated with traditional water baths.
