Dry Bath & Heating Block for LAL Test
Precision 96-well dry bath incubators with aluminum heating blocks designed for bacterial endotoxin testing (BET) using the LAL gel clot method. Accurate 37°C temperature control, built-in HMI, and dot-matrix printer support for pharmaceutical QC laboratories.
Why Choose a Dry Bath Heating Block for LAL Testing?
Traditional water baths pose contamination risks and require frequent maintenance. Acculize dry bath heating blocks provide a cleaner, more reliable alternative for bacterial endotoxin testing in pharmaceutical, medical device, and biotechnology laboratories.
Our precision-engineered aluminum heating blocks deliver exceptional temperature uniformity (±0.5°C) across all 96 wells, ensuring consistent LAL gel clot formation and reliable test results. The equipment is designed to align with USP <85> workflows and supports USP 1058 Group B qualification context.
- No water contamination or maintenance
- Superior heating block temperature uniformity
- Dot-matrix printer support for temperature logs
- Designed for use in 21 CFR–regulated environments
Dry Bath & Heating Block for LAL Gel Clot Testing
While the terms "dry bath" and "heating block" are often used interchangeably, understanding their similarities helps you choose the right equipment for LAL testing.
| Feature | Dry Bath / Heating Block | Water Bath |
|---|---|---|
| Heating Method | Aluminum block – direct contact | Water medium – indirect heating |
| Contamination Risk | No water = No contamination | High risk from standing water |
| Temperature Uniformity | ±0.5°C across all wells | Variable – depends on water level |
| Printer Support | Dot-matrix printer for temperature logs | Typically not available |
| Maintenance | Minimal – no water changes | Regular water changes required |
| 21 CFR Environments | Designed for regulated workflows | Limited documentation options |
