Block for 96 Well Plate, Round Based

Product Overview

Ratek’s micro-plate blocks are engineered for compatibility with the Ratek 2-place heaters (DBH2000D) or larger models, and they are also suitable for use with many other dry block heater brands. Designed to hold 96-well microtiter and PCR plates, these blocks occupy two standard block positions, making them versatile for use in 3- and 4-place heaters alongside regular blocks. In the larger DBH4000D model, two microplate blocks can be accommodated simultaneously.

Precision CNC-machined from solid anodised aluminium, each block measures 150mm L x 95mm W x 50mm H. This solid aluminium construction ensures rapid heat transfer and quick block heat-up times, achieving excellent temperature uniformity when used with a Ratek heater. All blocks come with a thermometer reference hole for precise temperature monitoring, and customised blocks are available upon request.
