Torrey Pines Scientific ECHOTHERM™ IC25

Listing description

Product Description:
The completely solid-state EchoTherm™ IC25 Digital, Programmable, Electronic Chilling/Heating Dry Bath is versatile, reliable and easy to use. The IC25 has simple digital controls and a two-line alphanumeric display that is backlit for easy reading. The display shows both the target and actual temperatures. Additionally, it displays the timer and all programming functions.

The chilling/heating surface is a 2.875” (7.3 cm) x 4.375” (11.1 cm) aluminum plate that is very flat for optimal contact with the sample. When unloaded, the plate will go below 0°C in under two minutes. It will heat to 37°C in even less time. Generally, the unloaded surface will decrease temperature at about 3°C/minute. Heating rates on the unloaded plate are usually about 5°C/minute. The blocks sold as accessories range in size and mass depending upon the samples used. The unit can drive a block for 1.5 ml centrifuge tubes from ambient temperature to 4°C in less than 30 minutes. When used with an accessory cover these blocks can be driven below 0°C. Temperature gradients from the center to the edge of any accessory block will be less than 0.5°C at any temperature.

Application Features:
Unattended restriction digestions or ligations at elevated temperatures then reducing temperature to 4°C automatically to reduce non-specific nuclease digestion of target DNA
Automatically stopping reactions by having the unit reduce sample temperature after a specific reaction time
Producing denatured probes or single stranded DNA molecules by heating to 90°C to 95°C for a given time and rapidly reducing temperature to 4°C to prevent renaturation
Automatic temperature profiles to grow bacteria at 37°C, then increasing temperature to induce events, and then lowering temperature to 4°C to prevent degradation
Maintaining 14°C for ligation reactions
Enzyme reactions and deactivations
Maintaining 17°C for storing oocytes
Storing reagents at 4C in 15, 50, 250, and 500ml centrifuge tubes
Storing samples at ice bucket temperatures without the mess
Incubating samples at 37°C in 96-well assay plates or in aluminum blocks holding 0.2, 0.5 and 1.5 ml centrifuge tubes, vials, and test tubes
Storing enzyme or DNA libraries at your workstation
Freezing and storing most any sample at your workstation
