Short Summary:
Torrey Pines Scientific has launched the EchoTherm SC20 and SC25 dry baths—versatile, Peltier-driven units designed for precise temperature control and sample mixing in molecular biology and life science applications.

Three Takeaways:

  1. Programmable Options: The SC20 offers simple digital control, while the SC25 features 5-program memory for fully automated workflows.
  2. Wide Compatibility: Both support a broad range of interchangeable sample blocks for tubes, vials, and microplates, enhancing flexibility.
  3. Advanced Features: Units include temperature control from -20°C to 100°C, orbital shaking, data logging, and remote operation capabilities.

Torrey Pines Scientific, Inc. has announced the new EchoTherm SC20 and SC25 Models. The SC20 is a simple digital unit while the SC25 is fully programmable having a 5-program memory making both dry baths ideal for use with biological and other samples.

Both dry baths have a temperature range from -20°C to 100°C and incorporate a variable speed orbital shaker for mixing and controlling the temperature of samples simultaneously.

Both units have a 30-day count down timer with alarm and Auto-off, data logger, and RS232 I/O port for data logging or controlling the units from a computer.

The SC20XT and SC25XT accommodate accessory sample blocks available for 0.2, 0.5, 1.5, 15 and 50ml centrifuge tubes. Also available are blocks for 2ml vials, 20ml scintillation vials, PCR tubes and plates, 96-well and 384-well assay plates of all shapes, deep-well assay plates, and other blocks for various sizes of test tubes.

The dry baths are Peltier driven, with control to 1°C, shaking range from 200 to 1000 rpm and have a backlit two-line alphanumeric display. These instruments are excellent molecular biology tools and can be used to run temperature/time profiles, unattended restriction digestions or ligations, automatic enzyme reactions and deactivations, storing oocytes at 17°C, storing DNA libraries at the workstation, and more.

Both units come complete with instructions and universal bench top power supply for use anywhere in the world. They are ETL, CSA and CE compliant.
