Instruments & Equipment

Ratek precision digital block heaters offer excellent temperature stability combined with a large active LED display for easy visibility from across the lab. Available in 3 sizes accommodating 1, 2 or 4 standard blocks, the DBHx000D range is the latest in Ratek’s long established history of quality Australian made block heaters.

All models feature precision digital PID control with bright dual line LED display which indicates set and current temperatures, combined with simple up and down temperature control buttons. Independent concealed heaters heat each block individually to achieve rapid heat-up times and excellent spacial uniformity.

A user-configurable process over-temp audible and visual alarm also provides the user with peace of mind. Perhaps the best new feature in the range is the capability to operate at up to 200° C as standard, allowing for a much wider range of digestion applications to be performed in addition to low temperature molecular and biological work.

Ratek’s block heaters offer simplicity with accuracy and can be run day in day out for any number of general lab applications.

Anodised aluminium heating plate

Even heat transfer

Temperature range between 30°C and 80°C

Safety thermal cutout

Easy to use solid state analogue control

This slide warming tray has a 450 x 250 mm. anodised aluminium heating plate mounted on a powder coated steel base. Use of a one piece pad type element bonded to the heating plate ensures that an even heat is maintained within the working area of 400 x 200mm. Temperature setting is by an analogue control on the front panel, with indicators for power on, and heating on. The WT1 has a temperature range of approximately 28°C to 80°C (min 5°C above ambient) and can be used for a variety of purposes. For safety a thermal cut out is fitted, this will remove power to the element in the event of overheating due to control failure.

Product Overview

The RC1 has an insulated stainless steel flexible line approximately 1 metre long with a stainless steel coil supported by an adjustable mounting bracket. This cooler can cool 8 litres of water in an insulated tank from 30°C to 5°C in approximately 25 mins. When used with the Ratek TH5 Thermoregulator the RC1 can provide temperature controlled water at or below ambient temperatures, accurate to ± 0.1°C. For temperatures below 0°c a solution of Ethylene Glycol 50% / Water 50% is recommended. The case for the RC1 is manufactured from a corrosion resistant plastic to provide durability. Only environmentally friendly R134a refrigerant is used in Ratek coolers. 

The RSM7DC Rotary mixer is suitable for many applications where an end over end action is required, including blood and sample mixing.

The tilting head allows for the disc to be held at any angle from horizontal to vertical enabling a wide range of different mixing actions. Loaded evenly with the locking screw removed the disc can rotate and be stopped by hand without switching off the drive, making tube placement and removal a simple operation. A centre locking screw is provided for heavier and unbalanced loads. The RSM7DC is supplied with a disc that has 20 threaded inserts and clips for tube diameters to suit customer specifications, please specify sizes when ordering. Individual clips can be removed and replaced if required.
