Ratek Generic Standard Block Series Description

The Ratek Generic Standard Blocks are precision CNC-machined solid anodized aluminium accessories designed to suit the entire range of Ratek dry block heaters while maintaining compatibility with many other brands of block heaters for versatile laboratory applications. Available in eight different model configurations to accommodate various sample vessel requirements, these blocks feature standardized dimensions of L95mm x W75mm x H50mm with a chemical-resistant black anodized finish that ensures durability and longevity in demanding laboratory environments. The solid aluminium construction delivers rapid heat transfer and excellent temperature uniformity for consistent sample heating, enabling rapid block heat-up when used in Ratek dry block heaters.

Each block includes a thermometer reference hole for accurate temperature monitoring and verification, ensuring precise control and repeatability across all heating applications. The robust design and universal compatibility make these blocks ideal for laboratories using multiple brands of dry block heaters, while optional evaporation manifolds are available to enhance functionality for specialized applications such as sample concentration and solvent removal. With their combination of precision manufacturing, chemical resistance, and thermal efficiency, these standard blocks provide reliable performance for routine heating, incubation, and sample preparation tasks across diverse laboratory workflows.

Customised blocks are also available upon request if a standard block is unsuitable, these blocks are available in 50mm, 80mm and 100mm depths to suit a wide range of applications.

  • Precision CNC-machined aluminium
  • Chemical-resistant black anodised finish
  • Thermometer reference hole
  • Compatible with many other brands of block heaters
  • Evaporation manifolds available to suit

Applications

When used in conjunction with a Dry Block Heater, applications include the preservation of samples and reactions, enzyme digestions, enzyme activity studies, DNA amplification, incubation and activation of cultures, melting/boiling points, and nucleic acid hybridizations. These versatile blocks are also ideal for protein denaturation studies, bacterial transformation procedures, and precise temperature-controlled chemical synthesis reactions. The uniform heat distribution and accurate temperature control make them essential tools for quality control testing, pharmaceutical research, and any laboratory procedure requiring consistent and reliable heating of small sample volumes.
