Thermoblock (Product Code: SLE/CL/14) is a dry block for 5 ml tubes, listed as suitable for use with the thermomixer, that serves as an incubator for samples without the water, spills and evaporation that come with a water bath. It works on 100 V ~ 240 V mains, offers pre-programmed as well as user-defined programmes, and includes a power-stabilising function against accidental voltage surges. Hospital, microbiology and teaching laboratories use it when tubes need to be held at a controlled temperature on the bench. The Thermoblock is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, as part of its microbiology lab equipment for India and export buyers.

Dry blocks are chosen when a lab wants tubes to sit in close metal contact with a temperature-controlled surface rather than in water. Typical jobs include holding sample tubes at a steady temperature during an incubation step, pre-warming reagents in 5 ml tubes before an assay, and keeping a batch of tubes at the same condition while a class works through a practical. Because there is no water, labels stay dry, tubes do not float, and there is no bath to drain, clean and refill — a point that matters in busy lab equipment for college practicals as much as in hospital labs.
Use tubes that match the 5 ml wells so they seat fully and heat evenly, and select a stored programme or set your own before loading. Allow the block to stabilise, then insert tubes and start timing. Keep the wells clean and dry, wipe away any spilled liquid at once, and switch the unit off before cleaning. When it is paired with the thermomixer, confirm the combination you need with us so that the block and base are ordered together.
Our Ambala, Haryana company, Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, makes the Thermoblock and sells it under the ScienceLab brand, alongside the thermomixer and other bench instruments for clinical and teaching use. The company profile sets out the company's history and capabilities.

Which tubes does the Thermoblock take?
It is a dry block for 5 ml tubes. For other tube sizes, please ask us via the contact page.
What does the 10 °C to 40 °C figure refer to?
Our listing gives an operation temperature of 10 °C to 40 °C. If your protocol needs a particular block set-point, confirm it with us before ordering so we can check suitability.
Does it work with the thermomixer?
Yes — the block is described as suitable for the thermomixer. Tell us whether you need the block alone or together with the thermomixer so the quotation covers the right items.
Can I store my own programmes?
Yes. It provides pre-programmed routines and also user-defined programmes.
What power supply does it need?
100 V ~ 240 V at 50/60 Hz. A power-stabilising function helps protect it from accidental voltage surges, and a suitable plug is provided.
How should the block be cleaned?
Switch it off and let it return to room temperature, then wipe the wells and surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not pour liquid into the wells.
Can a calibration certificate be provided?
Calibration certificate availability should be discussed with us at the enquiry stage.
For a quotation on SLE/CL/14, use our contact page or add the block to the enquiry cart; mention whether you also need the thermomixer and 5 ml tubes.
