The gas-fired high-temperature furnaces of the HTB product line are specially developed for applications requiring fast heating up ramps. Gas-fired furnaces are preferred also if inflammable gases are produced in large amounts during the process. A large content of the gas emissions are already burned in the furnace chamber, so that downstream equipment like thermal and catalytic exhaust cleaners can accordingly be downsized. The furnaces are insulated with highly heat-resistant and long-life lightweight refractory brick insulation or fiber materials.

Product Details:

Gradient 96 Well Thermal Cycler produces consistent, reliable results while making gradient technology affordable. This unit is extremely simple to program, compact in design and built to perform.

PRECISION THERMAL CONTROL: Rapid heating and cooling of the precision machined sample block is achieved by six Peltier modules. Temperature sensors across the block feed data to the microprocessor to control operation of the system and ensure accuracy and uniformity. Two types of temperature control are selectable. The first option is block control, which uses the actual temperature of the block to adjust heating and cooling input. THe second option is tube control, which uses a sophisticated algorithm program that calculates sample temperature based on volume and triggers heating and cooling accordingly to provide quick temperature change in the sample and minimize over- and undershoot.
