Operate this dry bath within an ambient temperature of 10 °C to 40 °C and relative humidity below 80 % to maintain performance and prevent condensation damage. Use only Atomfair-approved heating blocks and sample modules compatible with this model to ensure proper thermal contact and avoid mechanical imbalance.
- Ambient Operating Conditions: Maintain ambient temperature between 10 °C and 40 °C with relative humidity below 80 % during operation.
- Block and Module Compatibility: Use only Atomfair-approved heating blocks and sample modules designed for the HCM100-Pro format to ensure proper thermal contact and mechanical stability.
What is the maximum cooling rate below room temperature for the HCM100-Pro dry bath?
The maximum cooling rate from 100 °C to room temperature is 5 °C/min, but from room temperature to below room temperature it drops to 0.5 °C/min. This asymmetric cooling performance is critical for applications requiring rapid thermal cycling above ambient versus slow, controlled cooling for cold incubation steps.
Can the HCM100-Pro accommodate standard 0.2 mL PCR tubes or 96-well plates?
The HCM100-Pro is a dry-block instrument that requires a compatible heating block or module for the specific sample vessel format. The product description explicitly states to confirm block or module compatibility and sample vessel format before ordering, as the unit does not include a universal adapter. Contact Atomfair technical sales for module matching.
What are the ambient temperature and humidity limits for operating the HCM100-Pro?
The HCM100-Pro must be operated in an ambient temperature range of 10 to 40 °C with relative humidity below 80%. Exceeding these environmental limits can compromise temperature control accuracy (±0.5 °C) and cooling performance, particularly the 0.5 °C/min rate below room temperature.
The HCM100-Pro Heating Cooling Shaking Dry Bath provides a combined dry-block incubation, active cooling, and orbital shaking platform covering room temperature minus 15°C to 100°C with ±0.5°C control accuracy, suitable for enzyme reactions and nucleic acid workflows; however, sub-ambient cooling is slow (0.5°C/min) and compatible sample blocks must be sourced separately.
Positive
- Broad temperature range with active cooling: Operates from room temperature minus 15°C to 100°C, enabling both heating and active cooling for cold incubation and heat–cool cycles without an external chiller.
- Integrated orbital shaking up to 1500 rpm: Orbital shaking at 200–1500 rpm with a 3 mm orbit provides continuous mixing during incubation, improving reaction homogeneity and mass transfer.
Trade-offs
- Slow sub-ambient cooling rate: Cooling from ambient to below room temperature proceeds at only 0.5°C/min, which limits rapid temperature transitions for cold-start protocols or precise thermal cycling near ambient.
- Separate blocks or modules required: The instrument does not include heating blocks or sample modules; users must independently confirm and source compatible block formats for their tube, vial, or plate sizes before use.
