Some SC25 Applications

• Unattended restriction digestions or ligations at elevated temperatures then reducing temperature to 4°C automatically to reduce non-specific nuclease digestion of the target DNA
• Automatically stopping reactions by having the unit reduce sample temperature after a specific reaction time
• Produce denatured probes or single stranded DNA molecules by heating to 90°C to 95°C for a given time and rapidly reducing temperature to 4°C to prevent renaturation
• Automatic temperature/mixing profiles to grow bacteria at 37°C, then increasing temperature to induce events, and then lowering temperature to 4°C to prevent degradation
• Maintain 14°C for ligation reactions
• Maintain 17°C for storing oocytes
• Store samples at ice bucket temperatures without the mess
• Incubate samples at 37°C in 96-well assay plates, PCR plates, aluminum blocks for 0.2, 0.5, 1.5, 15ml centrifuge tubes, vials and test tubes
• Store enzyme or DNA libraries at your work station
• Enzyme reactions and deactivations
  
  

Product Description:

The Torrey Pines Scientific, Inc. Model SC25 Fully Programmable Orbital Mixing Chilling/Heating Dry Baths are compact, completely solid state, versatile, reliable, and easy to use. They feature 5-program memory where each program can have as many as 10 steps. Each step is a mixing speed, temperature, and timed event. Additionally, any program can be made to repeat itself from 1 to 99 times automatically.

The built-in orbital mixer has 9 digitally preset mixing speeds varying from 200 to 1000 rpm. The orbital mixer is designed with friction free hardened, blued, tempered steel leaf spring bearings that support the plate and sample blocks. The units have a temperature range from -10°C to 100°C at the plate surface. They have an I/O port for recording data or for controlling the unit from a computer. The built-in data logger can store 7825 data points in 1 second, 1 minute or 5 minute intervals. The units also have a built-in 30-day timer with alarm and user settable Auto-Off function that will turn off the chiller/heater/mixer after any count down timed event.

The SC25 has simple digital controls and a backlit two-line alphanumeric display for easy viewing. The display shows target and actual temperature and orbital mixing speed when not running a program. When running a program it additionally displays the program number, step, and cycle. The timer can also be made to display when in use. The SC25 chilling/heating surface is a 2.875” (7.3 cm) x 4.375” (11.1 cm) aluminum plate that is very flat for good contact with the sample blocks. When unloaded the plate will reach below 0°C in under 2 minutes and will heat to 37°C in under one minute. The chilling/heating rates will vary with load. For instance, temperatures to 4°C can be reached on sample blocks as large as 4” (10.2 cm) x 3” (7.6 cm) x 6” (15.2 cm) in about half an hour.

The units are complete with instruction manual, universal bench top power supply for use anywhere in the world, and AC line cord for the country of use. Sample blocks and covers are available as accessories.
