Aluminum Heat Block Insert with Eddy Current Defeating Design, 20 Wells 17 mm Diameter 20.7 mm Deep, SLAS Footprint

Aluminum 20 Position Insert for heating and mixing on tumble stirrer. Special design to minimize eddy currents. Holds 20 tubes or vials 16.5mm in diameter. SBS footprint, red anodized.

The VP 416-ALB-20 is a Heat Block Insert with SBS microplate dimensions that fits inside our standard VP 741 through VP 744 Heat Block series. It has a special Eddy Current defeating design that minimizes the eddy current phenomena resulting from magnetic lines of flux passing through large masses of aluminum without affecting the insert’s ability to transfer heat. The Eddy Current defeating design reduces the load on the magnetic stirrer’s motor and also reduces the temperature that the aluminum block is heated up to. This later phenomena in important in applications where the temperature of the heat block needs to be less than 40°C. The heat block insert has 20 flat bottom wells, each 17 mm in diameter by 20.7 mm deep.
