A dry bath incubator, also known as a dry block heater, is a laboratory device used to heat samples in tubes and microtubes at a controlled temperature without using water. It is commonly used in molecular biology, clinical testing and laboratory research for applications such as enzyme assays, coagulation studies, DNA digestion and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) preparation. The appropriate model depends on the required temperature range, block configuration and sample tube size.
Bionics Scientific manufactures and supplies dry bath incubators for laboratories in India and international markets. Available configurations include single, dual and four-block models to accommodate different sample testing requirements. Contact our team to discuss model specifications, suitable block options, pricing and warranty details.

These dry bath incubators are designed for applications that require heating temperature while performing various tests. Fitted with microprocessor based circuit, these dry block heaters feature soft touch key panel, digital temperature display, buzzer alarm and in-built over temperature protection. These versatile heating systems are available in single, double and four blocks made of solid anodized aluminum. Each device offers excellent temperature uniformity ±0.5°C and works with ambient 5°C to 160°C temperature range. Users can interchange desired blocks as per their convenient. We have three standard models that accommodate different sample enclosures such as vials, micro plates, PCR strips, and a wide variety of tubes.
