Benchmark Scientific BSH200 myBlock Mini Digital Dry Bath 100V-240V

Description

Product Overview

The Benchmark Scientific BSH200 myBlock Mini Digital Dry Bath is engineered for researchers who need rapid, reliable temperature control in a portable format. Measuring just 12 x 8 x 14 inches and weighing only two pounds, this unit fits comfortably in the palm of your hand while delivering performance comparable to full‑size laboratory water baths. Powered by a universal 100V‑240V input, the dry bath can be used with standard US plugs or an optional 12V adapter for field applications. The digital controller offers precise temperature settings from ambient room temperature up to 37 °C, reaching the target temperature in as little as two minutes. A clear polycarbonate cover provides visual access to the heating block and promotes uniform heat distribution across all samples. The interchangeable heating blocks are designed to hold micro‑tubes ranging from 0.2 ml to 50 ml, making the BSH200 a versatile tool for a wide variety of assays, enzyme reactions, and sample preparations. Built with a robust aluminum heating element and insulated housing, the device maintains temperature stability while protecting the user from accidental burns. The BSH200 is certified for safety and complies with international standards, ensuring reliable operation in demanding laboratory environments.

Usage

Designed for both bench‑top and on‑site work, the BSH200 excels in a range of settings. In a standard molecular biology laboratory, it can be used to incubate PCR tubes, perform enzyme digestions, or maintain cell culture media at a constant temperature. Its rapid heating capability reduces preparation time, allowing scientists to move quickly from setup to data collection. Field researchers conducting environmental sampling can take advantage of the optional 12V power adapter, enabling operation from portable battery packs or vehicle power sources. The compact size also makes the dry bath an excellent choice for teaching laboratories, where space is limited and equipment must be easy to store. Because the unit does not require water, it eliminates the risk of spills and simplifies cleanup, a benefit in high‑throughput environments. The clear cover allows users to monitor sample progress without opening the unit, preserving temperature integrity and minimizing contamination risk. Whether you are running a small pilot study, supporting a large clinical trial, or teaching undergraduate students, the BSH200 provides the flexibility and reliability needed for consistent results.
