Cooling and heating thermomixers for temperature-controlled sample preparation
Thermomixers with cooling and heating functions combine precise temperature control with defined shaking motion. Unlike heating-only thermomixers, these devices also cover temperatures below ambient. This is particularly relevant for temperature-sensitive enzymes, reagents or incubation steps that require cooling.
Programmable control and operation
The cooling and heating thermomixers offered feature programmable controls. Models such as the ISTHBLCTS are equipped with an LCD colour touchscreen (109 mm / 4.3 inches) and provide a USB interface for data transfer. This equipment facilitates the logging of temperature and mixing profiles in daily laboratory routines.
Shaking motion and interchangeable blocks
The MKR 13 and MKR 23 thermomixers operate with orbital shaking motion. The MKR 13 accommodates one interchangeable block, while the MKR 23 is designed for two. Interchangeable blocks allow adaptation to different vessel formats – for example, for 24 x 1.5 mL tubes with the ISTHBLCTS model. The base unit ISTHBLCTSN is supplied without a block and can be equipped individually.
Distinction from heating-only thermomixers
The heating-only thermomixers category includes devices without active cooling. In contrast, cooling and heating thermomixers offer an extended temperature range downwards. The choice depends on the application profile: if only temperatures above ambient are required, a heating thermomixer is sufficient. For cooling steps or temperature-critical reactions, a cooling and heating device is necessary.
Areas of application in the laboratory
Typical applications for cooling and heating thermomixers include enzyme reactions, PCR preparation, cell lysis, protein extraction and incubations at defined temperatures. Laboratories in biotechnology, the pharmaceutical industry, clinical diagnostics and research use these devices to achieve reproducible results in temperature-dependent processes.
Frequently asked questions about cooling and heating thermomixers
Below you will find answers to frequently asked questions about cooling and heating thermomixers.
What are cooling and heating thermomixers used for?
Cooling and heating thermomixers are used for the simultaneous temperature control and mixing of samples in reaction vessels. They are used for enzyme reactions, PCR preparation, incubations and other temperature-dependent laboratory processes.
Which block size is suitable for my application?
The block size depends on the vessel format and the number of samples. Blocks for 24 x 1.5 mL tubes are available in the range. Devices such as the ISTHBLCTSN are supplied without a block and can be equipped with suitable interchangeable blocks.
What distinguishes heating-only thermomixers from cooling and heating thermomixers?
Heating-only thermomixers exclusively reach temperatures above ambient. Cooling and heating thermomixers additionally feature active cooling, thus enabling temperature-controlled processes below ambient temperature.
How do the MKR 13 and MKR 23 differ?
The MKR 13 is designed for one interchangeable block, while the MKR 23 accommodates two. Both models operate with orbital shaking motion and programmable control. The choice depends on the required sample throughput.
Which accessories are useful for cooling and heating thermomixers?
Interchangeable blocks for different vessel sizes expand the application possibilities. Depending on the model, additional blocks for micro-reaction vessels, PCR strips or other formats can be added.
How can I receive a quote for a cooling and heating thermomixer?
You can submit a request for a quote directly via the product pages. The listed prices serve as a guide; individual terms are provided upon request.
Which interfaces do the programmable thermomixers offer?
Models such as the ISTHBLCTS and ISTHBLCTSN feature a USB interface. This allows for the transfer of program data and supports the documentation of process parameters.
