Benchmark Digital Dry Bath, four position, without blocks

$950.67

The Benchmark Scientific BSH1004 digital dry bath is a four-position block heater that accommodates up to four interchangeable aluminum heating blocks simultaneously, providing the highest throughput in the Benchmark dry bath series โ€” up to 96 ร— 1.5 mL microtubes in under one square foot of bench space. Delivering digitally controlled sample incubation from ambient +5ยฐC to 150ยฐC with ยฑ0.2ยฐC accuracy and ยฑ0.2ยฐC block-to-block uniformity, this dry bath eliminates the need for external thermometers, repetitive temperature fine-tuning, and the contamination risks associated with traditional water baths. The BSH1004 four-block heat block incubator supports a broad range of tube formats including 0.5 mL, 1.5 mL, 2.0 mL, 15 mL, and 50 mL tubes as well as microplate and custom block configurations โ€” making it an essential temperature control instrument for high-volume molecular biology, clinical, and research laboratories.

Operators simply enter the target temperature on the digital touchpad and the BSH1004 laboratory dry bath maintains the set point with real-time monitoring and 0.1ยฐC resolution. A built-in digital timer (1 to 999 minutes) alerts the user when the programmed interval has elapsed, supporting timed incubation protocols for enzyme reactions, restriction digests, ligations, serum heat inactivation, and sample thawing. The precision-machined cavities of the high-grade aluminum blocks match the conical profiles of standard laboratory tubes, delivering fast heat transfer and consistent sample-to-sample temperature performance across all four block positions. A user-accessible recalibration function ensures long-term accuracy without service calls, while the included block lifter with an insulated handle allows safe exchange of blocks at elevated temperatures. Explore additional water baths and heating instruments at ARES Scientific to compare dry bath, circulating bath, and general-purpose heating options for your workflow.

Manufactured by Benchmark Scientific, the BSH1004 four-position digital dry bath measures just 8.7 ร— 14 ร— 3.2 inches โ€” fitting comfortably on crowded laboratory benches alongside other benchtop instruments such as vortex mixers and centrifuges. Heating blocks are sold separately, giving you the flexibility to configure each of the four positions for different tube sizes and experiment requirements. ARES Scientific is an authorized distributor for Benchmark Scientific, ensuring you receive a genuine BSH1004 dry bath with full manufacturer warranty and dedicated technical support.

Description

Benchmark Scientific BSH1004 Digital Dry Bath โ€“ Product Highlights

  • Four-position block capacity for maximum throughput โ€” heats four interchangeable aluminum blocks simultaneously, accommodating up to 96 ร— 1.5 mL microtubes in under one square foot of bench space and enabling parallel incubation of multiple tube formats in a single compact instrument.
  • Digital temperature control from ambient +5ยฐC to 150ยฐC โ€” enter the target temperature on the touchpad and the four-block dry bath maintains the set point with ยฑ0.2ยฐC accuracy and ยฑ0.2ยฐC uniformity across all positions, eliminating the need for external thermometers or manual adjustments.
  • 0.1ยฐC temperature resolution โ€” precise digital increments support fine control for temperature-sensitive protocols including enzyme incubations, serum heat inactivation, nucleic acid denaturation, restriction digests, and sample thawing in research and clinical dry bath applications.
  • Built-in digital timer up to 999 minutes โ€” audible alert notifies the operator when the programmed time interval has elapsed, supporting timed incubation workflows without the need for a separate laboratory timer.
  • Precision-machined high-grade aluminum blocks โ€” block cavities match the conical size and shape of 0.5, 1.5, 2.0, 15, and 50 mL tubes, delivering rapid heat transfer and consistent tube-to-tube temperature uniformity across all four heated positions.
  • Interchangeable block system with safe hot-swap capability โ€” the included block lifter with an insulated handle allows quick exchange of blocks even at elevated temperatures, enabling fast transitions between tube sizes and experimental protocols throughout the workday.
  • User-accessible recalibration function โ€” built-in recalibration ensures long-term temperature accuracy without requiring service calls, keeping the dry bath within specification over its full service life.
  • Clean, dry heating eliminates water bath maintenance โ€” provides contamination-free sample incubation with no water to fill, treat, or dispose of, reducing daily upkeep and cross-contamination risk compared to traditional heated water baths.
  • Compact footprint under one square foot โ€” measures just 8.7 ร— 14 ร— 3.2 inches, conserving valuable bench space in busy laboratories, teaching environments, and clinical settings despite offering four-block capacity.
  • Authorized Benchmark Scientific distributor โ€” ARES Scientific is an authorized distributor for Benchmark Scientific, ensuring you receive a genuine BSH1004 four-position digital dry bath with a 2-year manufacturer warranty, technical support, and access to the full range of compatible heating blocks and accessories.
