New page

== Introduction ==
Heat blocks are used to defrost, incubate and heat-up 1.5ml aliquots.
They can be static or shaking.

== Shaking heat block ==
Pretty useful for incubating small amounts of micro-organisms or quickly un-thawing frozen samples.
Those tools are pretty straightforward to use.

=== Functions ===
::A) Holding vials for 1.5ml aliquots
::B) Displays the temperature and rotational speed
::C) Buttons to setup temperature and rpm
::D) Short-mix button: Will shake until released. <br> ::Start button: Will start the shaking (the temperature increases as soon as the device is on)
::E) On/Off switch (behind).

=== Rules ===
::1) Do not shake an open aliquot
::2) Don't go higher than 50°C. The static block is made for this.
::3) Don't go higher than 700rpm. The device is not super health...
::4) Put back into place once done

=== Tips ===
Bacteria likes to be shaken at 37°c and 300rpm. While unfreezing is quickly attained at 650rpm 37°C <br>
You can go higher than 37°C but it's a bit pointless since it takes time to decrease the temperature. Use the static block for temperatures higher than 37°C.

== Static Heat Block ==
The static heat block can reach higher temperatures than the shaking heat block.
It is practical to denature proteins or evaporate small amounts of residual EtOH stuck on purification membranes.
