Torrey Pines Scientific EchoTherm IC22 Digital, 2-Position Electronic Chilling/Heating Dry Bath

The completely solid-state EchoTherm™ IC22 2-Position Electronic Chilling/Heating Dry Bath is versatile, reliable and easy to use. Each heating/chilling station has its own Peltier module, and the entire unit has only two moving parts: the fans.

The chilling/heating surfaces are each 2.875” (7.3 cm) x 4.375” (11.1 cm) aluminum plates that are very flat for optimal contact with the sample blocks. When unloaded, the plates will reach below 0 °C in under two minutes. They will heat to 37°C in under a minute. The chilling and heating rates will change with loads. For instance, temperatures to 4.0°C can be reached on sample blocks as large as 4” (10.2 cm) x 3” (7.6 cm) x 6” (15.2 cm) in about 30 minutes.

OPTIONAL MODEL:
XT Model: Chilling range expanded to -20°C without sample block. Recommended for holding samples steady at low temperatures without cycling.
