Thermoblock 384
The Thermoblock 384 (012-101) is a unique silver block produced only by SensoQuest. The block is processor controlled gradient-capable block with 6 separately controlled peltier elements for extraordinary temperature homogeneity. The thermal conductivity of silver with 429 W/mK results in a better block uniformity in contrast to aluminum (237 W/mK). This allows high speed with a maximum power of only 350 Watts. The average during a typical run is less than 150 Watts. The result is good performance with low energy consumption, low carboxide footprint, less heat in the lab, and last but not least, less noise from the cooling fans. The heating rate is 4.2°C/s during real operations. The peak performance shows its cooling option down to minus 5 °C. Instant incubation at the melting point and low temperatures is for a long time possible. The Thermoblock 384 has programmable temperatures and time in(de)crements, ramp rates and of course a gradient.
The block is compatible with a quick-block-changing system and can replaced with Thermoblock 48, 96 or Triple.
