OMEGA™ HDB series heated dry baths provide a safe, dry, constant
temperature source in the laboratory for the purpose of incubation, boiling,
inactivation, wet ashing, enzyme analysis and a variety of clinical and
industrial applications.
Interchangeable aluminum insert blocks are sized to accept tubes or
containers ranging from 6 mm to 26 mm diameter. A close fit of the
tubes in the block ensures high heat transfer to the tube, and the heater
design, thermistor temperature sensor and solid state circuitry give
exceptionally good temperature stability and uniformity.
Temperature stability is ±0.1°C, and uniformity between blocks is ± 0.2°C
(both at 40°C).
Temperatures are adjusted in the HDB-1, HDB-2, and HDB-3 using a
dial calibrated in degrees centigrade. On the HDB-3D, the dial and digital
display are used to set the temperature. The digital indicator also provides a
continuous temperature display.
A block extraction tool, and threaded fitting machined into the block, allow
easy block removal. The threaded hole is also used to insert glass
thermometers for accurate temperature measurement of the block.

**If less than the maximum number of blocks are used, it is
recommended that the plastic half blocks fill the space on either side
of the aluminum block(s) in order to maintain temperature stability
