Torrey Pines Scientific EchoTherm IC35 Large, Heavy-Duty Digital Chilling/Heating Dry Bath

The completely solid-state EchoTherm™ IC35 Large, Heavy-Duty, Digital, Programmable, Electronic Chilling/Heating Dry Bath is versatile, reliable and easy to use. The IC35 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 is used to display the timer and all programming functions.

The chilling/heating surface is a 5” (12.7 cm) square 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 even faster. 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 the biggest block 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.

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