VWR Modular Heating Block for PCR Plates Tubes and Strips

VWR 13259-260 Double-Size Modular Aluminum Heating Block for 96-Well PCR Plates and Strips (MPN: 00001-44337). A precision-machined, dual-position dry bath block engineered to provide uniform, rapid thermal conduction across 96-well microplates, tube strips, and individual microcentrifuge tubes in high-throughput temperature incubation workflows.

Used; excellent condition.

• VWR Catalog Number: 13259-260
• Manufacturer Part Number (MPN): 00001-44337
• Manufacturer & Line: VWR (Avantor) / Modular Block Heaters & Accessories (manufactured by Troemner/Talboys)
• Form Factor & Dimensions: Double-width modular footprint (occupies two standard block spaces in 2-, 4-, or 6-block benchtop dry baths)
• Tube & Plate Capacity: Accommodates one full 96-well non-skirted or semi-skirted PCR microplate, twelve 8-tube PCR strips (12 × 8 configuration), sixteen 6-tube strips, or up to 96 individual 0.2 mL thin-walled PCR reaction tubes
• Material Construction: Machined from high-density, solid anodized aluminum alloy delivering superior thermal conductivity, resistance to chemical tarnishing, and high mechanical durability
• Thermal Uniformity & Geometry: Precision-coned conical wells mirror 0.2 mL PCR vessel profiles to ensure intimate surface-to-surface contact, preventing edge effects and maintaining consistent well-to-well temperature across the entire plate
• Sensor Well: Integrated thermometer/temperature probe well allowing direct in-block sensor placement for independent calibration and temperature verification
• Dry Bath Compatibility: Engineered for standard double-cavity installation in VWR, Troemner, Talboys, and Fisherbrand multi-block analog and digital dry bath incubators
• Decontamination & Maintenance: Fully autoclavable (121°C) and resistant to standard laboratory disinfection wipes, including 70% isopropanol, ethanol, and dilute bleach
• Primary Application: Pre- and post-PCR incubations, restriction enzyme digestions, reverse transcription, nucleic acid denaturation, proteinase K digestions, and molecular diagnostic sample prep
