Fisherbrand FS Isotemp Standard 4 Block Drybath

Fisherbrand FS Isotemp Standard 4-Block Drybath (88860023) – Digital Control

The Fisherbrand 88860023 is a premium, high-capacity dry bath incubator designed for precise temperature control across multiple sample formats. Featuring a 4-block capacity, this unit provides exceptional thermal uniformity and stability for high-throughput laboratories. It is an ideal solution for a wide range of molecular biology, clinical, and analytical applications, including enzyme digests, DNA denaturation, melting point determinations, and sample incubation.

Technical Performance & Design

• High-Capacity 4-Block Configuration: Holds up to four interchangeable modular heating blocks simultaneously, allowing for the concurrent incubation of different tube sizes (from 0.2 mL PCR tubes to 50 mL conical tubes) or microplates.
• Advanced Digital Control: Features a user-friendly touchpad interface with dual LED displays that show actual and setpoint temperatures simultaneously, ensuring precise process monitoring.
• Exceptional Thermal Uniformity: Engineered with a microchip-controlled heating profile that delivers standard temperature uniformity of ±0.1°C to ±0.2°C across all blocks, preventing edge-effect errors and sample variance.
• Built-in Safety Elements: Equipped with an independent over-temperature protection system that automatically cuts power if the temperature exceeds a safety threshold, safeguarding valuable biological assays.

Key Benefits & Applications

• High-Throughput Sample Preparation: The 4-block layout is perfect for genomics and proteomics workflows where large libraries of samples must be incubated at identical temperatures.
• Molecular Biology & PCR Pre-Ops: Extensively used for restriction digests, denaturing DNA, and heat-inactivating enzymes where strict thermal regulation is required.
• Flexible Multi-Format Assays: Easily switch between vials, centrifuge tubes, and 96-well plates by interchanging the anodized aluminum blocks, maximizing instrument utilization.
• Space-Efficient Footprint: Despite its 4-block capacity, the low-profile chassis optimizes valuable bench space under ventilation hoods and inside cleanrooms.
