The StemAids Thermal Block for Microplate is a laboratory temperature-control accessory designed to hold compatible microplates during heating, cooling, incubation, warming, and sample preparation procedures. It supports uniform temperature transfer across microplate wells and is suitable for use with compatible dry baths, block heaters, thermal mixers, and laboratory temperature-control systems.
Product Description
The StemAids Thermal Block for Microplate is developed for laboratories that require stable microplate placement and controlled temperature exposure during routine testing and research workflows. It helps maintain proper contact between the microplate and the temperature-control surface, supporting consistent sample heating or cooling across multiple wells.
This block is useful for molecular biology, microbiology, biotechnology, clinical diagnostics, ELISA-related preparation, pharmaceutical testing, quality control, and educational laboratories. It is suitable for applications involving reagent warming, enzyme reactions, microplate incubation, assay preparation, sample thawing, and controlled temperature treatment.
