HC110-Pro Heating Cooling Dry Bath ±0.5°C ATOMFAIR®

Ambient temperature must be maintained between 10 and 40 °C with relative humidity below 80% to ensure stable operation. The instrument requires a 110/220 V, 50/60 Hz power supply and must be placed on a level surface with adequate ventilation for heat dissipation.

• Temperature Range Limitation: The temperature control range is limited to room temperature minus 25 °C down to 110 °C, with a setting range from -5 to 110 °C, requiring ambient conditions to achieve sub-ambient setpoints.
• Cooling Rate Dependency: Maximum cooling rate decreases from 2.5 °C/min above room temperature to 0.5 °C/min when cooling below room temperature, imposing longer equilibration times for low-temperature protocols.
• Block Compatibility Requirement: Only compatible heating blocks, modules, or sample vessels specifically designed for the HC110-Pro format must be used to ensure proper thermal contact and avoid instrument damage.

This procedure covers initial setup, program configuration, and safe operation of the dry bath for controlled heating and cooling applications. Follow these steps to ensure accurate temperature control and prevent thermal shock to samples or the instrument.

Required Equipment: Compatible heating block or sample module, Sample tubes, vials, or plates

1. Install compatible block
   Insert the appropriate heating block or sample module into the dry bath well, ensuring it is fully seated and aligned with the thermal interface.
2. Power on and set temperature
   Connect the instrument to a grounded 110/220 V power supply, turn on the main switch, and use the TFT interface to set the desired target temperature within the -5 to 110 °C range.
3. Configure timer or program
   Set the timer from 0 min to 99 h 59 min or load one of the 9 custom programs via the TFT menu to define incubation duration and temperature ramps.
4. Load samples and start run
   Place prepared sample tubes or plates into the block wells, close any lid if present, and press start to initiate the heating or cooling cycle.
5. Monitor and retrieve samples
   Observe the TFT display for real-time temperature and remaining time, then remove samples promptly after the cycle completes to avoid unintended thermal drift.

The HC110-Pro Heating Cooling Dry Bath provides precise block-based temperature control from RT-25 to 110°C with ±0.5°C accuracy and programmable timers, suitable for enzyme reactions and nucleic acid workflows. However, its cooling performance below ambient is limited to 0.5°C/min and requires a controlled lab environment.

Positive

• Wide temperature range with active cooling: Covers RT-25 to 110°C, enabling both heating and controlled cooling below ambient for enzyme reactions, nucleic acid workflows, and protein handling.
• Programmable multi-step protocols: Supports 9 custom programs and 150 process executions, allowing automated, repeatable incubation sequences without manual intervention.

Trade-offs

• Slow cooling rate below ambient: Maximum cooling rate from room temperature to below room temperature is only 0.5°C/min, limiting rapid temperature transitions for time-sensitive protocols.
• Ambient temperature and humidity constraints: Requires a controlled environment of 10–40°C and <80% relative humidity to maintain specified performance and equipment reliability.
