The instrument requires an ambient temperature of 10 to 40 °C and relative humidity below 80% for stable operation. Temperature control accuracy degrades above 90 °C, with a specified tolerance of ±0.6 °C from 90 to 150 °C.
- Ambient Operating Range: Operate the dry bath only within an ambient temperature range of 10 to 40 °C and relative humidity below 80% to maintain specified performance.
- Temperature Accuracy Degradation at High Setpoints: When setting the block temperature above 90 °C, expect control accuracy to widen to ±0.6 °C compared to ±0.3 °C in the 25 to 90 °C range.
This procedure covers initial setup, block installation, and routine operation for temperature-sensitive workflows. Follow each step sequentially to ensure safe and accurate thermal control.
Required Equipment: ATOMFAIR HB150-S2 Dry Bath unit, Compatible sample block or module
- Place the instrument on a stable, level surface
Position the dry bath on a clean, level benchtop away from direct sunlight and drafts to ensure uniform heat distribution. - Install the appropriate sample block
Insert the compatible block or module into the heating well, ensuring full contact with the base for optimal thermal transfer. - Connect the power supply and turn on the unit
Plug the power cord into a grounded outlet matching the specified voltage (110/220 V, 50/60 Hz) and switch on the main power. - Set the target temperature and timer
Use the LED interface to enter the desired temperature between 25 and 150 °C and set the timer from 0 minutes up to 99 hours 59 minutes. - Load samples into the preheated block
Once the display indicates the setpoint has been reached, carefully place tubes or plates into the block wells without overfilling. - Monitor the run and retrieve samples upon completion
Allow the timer to elapse or stop the run manually, then remove samples using heat-resistant gloves if the block temperature exceeds 60 °C.
What is the temperature control accuracy trade-off between the lower and upper operating ranges of the Atomfair HB150-S2 dry bath?
The accuracy is ±0.3°C from 25°C to 90°C, but degrades to ±0.6°C from 90°C to 150°C per the technical specifications. Applications requiring tight thermal control above 90°C must account for this reduced precision.
Can the Atomfair HB150-S2 dry bath perform active cooling below ambient temperature?
No, the temperature control range is room temperature +5°C to 150°C with a setting range of 25°C to 150°C. It cannot cool below ambient; only heating above room temperature is supported, which is a constraint for protocols requiring rapid cooling or sub-ambient incubation.
What are the ambient operating limits for the Atomfair HB150-S2 dry bath and how do they affect laboratory placement?
The instrument must be operated in ambient temperatures of 10°C to 40°C and relative humidity below 80%. It requires a 110/220V, 50/60Hz power supply and consumes 200W. Placement should avoid high-humidity areas and ensure adequate ventilation for heat dissipation.
The Atomfair HB150-S2 Dry Bath offers precise temperature uniformity at 37°C and a wide heating range, but users must account for reduced accuracy above 90°C and controlled ambient requirements.
Positive
- Precise temperature uniformity at 37°C: Uniformity of ±0.2°C at 37°C supports reproducible enzyme reactions and PCR setup.
- Broad operational temperature range: Range from room temperature +5 to 150°C covers incubation, denaturation, and nucleic-acid amplification protocols.
Trade-offs
- Reduced accuracy above 90°C: Temperature control accuracy degrades to ±0.6°C in the 90–150°C range, which may limit high-temperature applications requiring tighter tolerance.
- Restricted ambient operating conditions: Ambient temperature must be between 10 and 40°C with relative humidity below 80%, limiting use in unconditioned laboratory spaces.
