ALab™ HB120-S/HB120-SC/HB60-S Dry Bath Series
Product Detail
ALab™ HB120-S/HB120-SC/HB60-S Dry Bath Series — three low profile digital dry baths with an LED display: up to 120°C (HB120-S/SC) or five fixed temperature levels from 25 to 60°C (HB60-S).

The HB120-S, HB120-SC and HB60-S are low profile, space saving dry baths with digital control and display of time and temperature, a timer and overheating protection. The HB120-S and HB120-SC reach room temp+5 to 120°C (setting range 15–120°C) with ±0.5°C uniformity at 37°C and are rated 170 W; the HB120-SC has a temperature calibration function inbuilt for users. The HB60-S works at five discrete temperature levels (25, 30, 37, 45 and 60°C), with ±0.3°C uniformity at 37°C, is rated 160 W and carries a 5mL×30+10mL×8 dual purpose heating block. The photo shows the HB120-S/SC; the specification table lists the models side by side.

What is the difference between HB120-S and HB120-SC?
Both share one specification column. The HB120-SC has a temperature calibration function inbuilt for users.
What are the temperature range and the setting range?
HB120-S/SC: temperature range room temp+5 to 120°C, setting range 15–120°C. HB60-S: temperature range room temp+5 to 60°C, 5 gears at 25, 30, 37, 45 and 60°C. The two are listed as separate rows.
What accuracy and uniformity are published?
Temperature control accuracy ±0.5°C for both columns. Temperature uniformity at 37°C: ±0.5°C (HB120-S/SC) and ±0.3°C (HB60-S); this value is the uniformity at 37°C, not the control accuracy.
Which heating blocks are listed?
For HB120-S/HB120-SC: blocks from 54×0.2mL up to 8×50mL, a microplate block and a 45×5mL blood collection tube block in a standard and a thin version where a number is printed, plus a two-in-one bead bath/water bath block and aluminum beads. HB60-S: 5mL×30+10mL×8 dual purpose heating block.
What power, size and weight are listed?
HB120-S/SC: 170 W, 3 kg; HB60-S: 160 W, 2.5 kg. Voltage and frequency 110/220V, 50/60HZ; external dimension [W×D×H] 175×290×85 for both.
What operating conditions are listed?
