Block Heaters and Chillers with Remote Control

For applications where a block heater or chiller needs to be sited inside a fume hood, laminar flow cabinet or within an automated system, control at the unit is not always possible.

The RHB20 block heater and the RIC20 block chiller/heater by Torrey Pines can be configured, controlled and monitored remotely without a PC, using the MIC20 controller.

MIC20 remote control for dry block heater chillers with blocks for heating microtubes and centrifuge tubes — The MIC20 remote controller (centre) can control the RHB20 heating dry block (left) or the RIC20 heating/chilling dry block (right)

These flexible units are compatible with a wide range of blocks to suit virtually all tubes, and the wide temperature bands mean a huge range of applications can be adressed;
