JOANLAB dry block bath · 100Max series
Interchangeable-block dry bath up to 100 °C, in four versions: with or without shaking up to 1500 rpm and with or without below-ambient cooling.
- Four versions on the same chassis: with or without shaking and with or without cooling
- Shaking from 100 to 1500 rpm with the 0.2 to 2 mL blocks, and up to 800 rpm with the 15 and 50 mL blocks
- Interchangeable blocks from 96 × 0.2 mL to 4 × 50 mL, plus a flat block and a cryovial block
- The tube block is quoted separately and does not come included with the unit
Summary datasheet
| Capacity | One interchangeable block at a time, from 96 × 0.2 mL to 4 × 50 mL. The block is NOT included: the price list warns that the price of the unit does not cover it |
| Temperature | Ambient to 100 °C; from 15 °C below ambient on the DBSC-100Max and the DBC-100Max |
| Agitation | 100 to 1500 rpm with the 0.2 to 2 mL blocks and 100 to 800 rpm with the 15 and 50 mL blocks; only on the DBS-100Max and the DBSC-100Max. The price list writes "0-1500 rpm", the catalog "100-1500 rpm" |
| Versions without shaking | DB-100Max and DBC-100Max, which the price list marks "WITHOUT SHAKING". Neither edition of the catalog tabulates them, so their power, their dimensions and their multi-point operation remain to be confirmed |
| Temperature stability | ±0.5 °C |
| Heating rate | 5.5 °C/min |
| Cooling rate | 5 °C/min from 100 °C down to ambient temperature and 1 °C/min below it, on the DBSC-100Max; to be confirmed on the DBC-100Max |
| Timer | 5 s to 24 h |
| Program memory | P1 to P9 |
| Multi-point programming | Yes on the DBSC-100Max; no on the DBS-100Max; to be confirmed on the two versions without shaking |
| Available blocks | 96 × 0.2 mL, 24 × 0.5 mL, 24 × 1.5 mL, 24 × 2.0 mL, 8 × 15 mL, 4 × 50 mL, flat block for microplates and 24 × 2 mL for cryovials |
| Thermal lid | Optional, compatible only with the 0.2, 0.5, 1.5 and 2.0 mL blocks |
| Power | 150 W on the DBS-100Max and the DBSC-100Max; to be confirmed on the versions without shaking |
| Power supply | AC 100-240 V, 50/60 Hz |
| Dimensions | 265 × 190 × 150 mm (DBS-100Max and DBSC-100Max) |
| Availability | Import to order / to be confirmed |
Two axes: shaking and cooling
The S shakes and the C cools below ambient; the four combinations make up the family. For the shaking versions the catalog states 100 to 1500 rpm on low modules and 100 to 800 rpm on high ones: the top speed depends on the height of the module mounted. With cooling, it sets from −5 °C and cools at 1 °C/min below ambient.
The thermal lid goes after condensation
The optional heated lid (DBS-Lid, for modules 1 to 4) keeps the top of the tube warm so that condensate does not form on the wall or the cap during temperature control, as the manufacturer states.
Modules up to PCR format
The seven modules run from the 0.2 mL tube —including the 96-well PCR plate and 8 × 0.2 mL strips— to the 50 mL conical, plus a flat PCR-bottom plate, with custom modules from the factory (OEM).
