Choose the RS10 if you need a reaction block that has ten individually controlled cells.
Choose the RS2 if you need a reaction block that has two individually controlled zones (five cells per zone).
Choose the RS1 if you need a reaction block that has one controlled zone (ten cells per zone).

Each of the blocks can be controlled over the complete temperature range from -30° to 150°C.
The maximum temperature difference between any two cells or zones is 180°C with zero cross talk between each cell or zone.
Control heating and cooling ramp rates from 0.1 to 5°C/minute.

Specially designed stir magnets ensure maximum coupling between the stir bar in the sample and the powerful motor.
A range of magnetic stir bars are available, each for different applications.
Ramped motor speed control to avoid fragmentation of the sample or losing the stir bar.
Motor-fault error message is relayed back to the controlling system if the motor stalls or becomes jammed.
Then an attempt is made every minute to restart the motor and if successful the “motor-fault” status is cleared.
All the attempts are reported back to the controlling system.
Relative viscosity value is reported by the firmware back to the software, this feature is used to detect any changes in the viscosity of a solution.
This value is created by noting the workload on the motor.
Other system status messaging include: cooling function; stirrer flea capture; heating function; block thermometer status; comms status; and heat exchanger status.

The well-insulated heat block keeps the casework cool-to-the-touch while a thermal cutout eliminates runaway conditions.
This combination of precise electronic control and rugged design ensures the safety to the end-user.
