How to choose what suits your needsIka metal bathWhat about it? The metal bath consists of modules and a main unit. Generally speaking, there is not much difference between modules of the same model from different manufacturers, but the main difference lies in the dry thermostat main unit.
Firstly, it is necessary to determine which type of constant temperature only belongs to? IKA metal baths are generally divided into heating type, heating cooling type, and heating cooling oscillation type according to the host, and can be selected according to the purpose of the experiment; The heating type is relatively cheap, while the heating and cooling type is more expensive. The heating and cooling type is oscillating and has more comprehensive functions, so it is also expensive.
Secondly, based on the temperature control range of the dry thermostat host, there are usually two types of temperature control ranges: -10-100 ℃ and -10-150 ℃. The former is more common, while the latter is less common. When choosing, you can choose according to the specific application situation. The temperature control range of -10-150 ℃ is larger and more expensive. For general experiments, it is not necessary to choose this type.
Afterwards, it is necessary to choose the specifications of the module, commonly 0.5ml, 1.5ml, and 0.2ml. The processing capacity should be selected according to the content and requirements of the experiment. In addition, the temperature stability should be considered, which is the uniformity of the temperature of each part of the module during heating, that is, the large temperature difference between each part, generally between 0.1-0.5 ℃, the lower the better.Ika metal bathIf the temperature requirement for the experimental reactor is not too strict, 0.5 is sufficient, and the lower the accuracy, the higher the price. High temperature refers to the high temperature that an instrument can reach, which is related to the temperature control range, generally 5 to 10 ℃ higher than the temperature control range.
How to operate the ika metal bath?
1. Preheating of hot block: Heat the hot block for 20 minutes to make the temperature uniform. When the red light is on, it indicates heating, and when the green light is on, it indicates constant temperature. The temperature gauge indicates the measured temperature of the hot block.
2. Set temperature: Use the knob to adjust to the desired temperature value, and the displayed value on the panel is the set temperature value.
3. Power on: Check that the instrument power switch is in the open position
4. Sample placement: After the temperature of the hot block is uniform, place the test tube into the hot block and cover it with a thermal insulation cover.
5. Hot block placement:Ika metal bathSelect a suitable heating block and gently place it into the heating slot.
