Adapters for the Ther-Mix and Flexi-Therm
Vitl offers a range of interchangeable intelligent Heated Modules, used as adapters for the Flexi-Therm dry block heater and Ther-Mix heated laboratory mixer.
Our Heated modules are a more efficient and accurate method of sample heating. They work in a similar way to PCR-style heating - instead of heating the air around the sample, the lid of the Heated Module is in direct contact with the consumable.
We pre-calibrate them too so there’s no need to waste space with thermometers or thermocouples.
If you’re using a Ther-Mix and Flexi-Therm with the same Module, it will remember the last used settings and automatically detect which base unit you have connected it to – no need to reprogram each time.
Modules are currently available for the following consumables:
HM01 - 0.5ml Microcentrifuge tubes
Consumble Type: 24 x 0.5mL Conical tubes
Temperature accuracy: +/- 0.1C
Block temperature range: Ambient +5 – 99.9C
Lid temperature range: Block +4C to 105C
Maximum mixing speed: 2000 RPM
Heating rate: 4C/minute
Temperature Uniformity across the Module: +/- 0.5 C or 1% of target temperature (whichever is greatest)
HM02 - 1.5ml Microcentrifuge tubes
Consumble Type: 24 x 1.5mL Conical Tubes
Temperature accuracy: +/- 0.1C
Block temperature range: Ambient +5C to 99.9C
Lid temperature range: Block +4C to 105C
Maximum mixing speed: 2000 RPM
Heating rate: 4C/minute
Temperature Uniformity across the Module: +/- 0.5C or 1% of target temperature (whichever is greatest)
HM03 - 2.0ml Microcentrifuge tubes
Consumble Type: 24 x 2.0mL Round Tubes
Temperature accuracy: +/- 0.1C
Block temperature range: Ambient +5C to 99.9C
