Sample Preparation Block Systems Brochure

Consumables and Supplies Reference GuideSample Preparation Block SystemsPerkinElmer offers a variety of sample preparation blocks and accessories for your lab needs.Better laboratory practices demand modern techniques in sample preparation. In the past, hot plates were used to digest samples where common digestion problems involved rusting, cross contamination of digestion system to sample, and poor sample temperature control. With no exposed metal components and an outer shell manufactured from acid-resistant thermoplastic, the SPB blocks reduce the chances of sample contamination. Each system is constructed with a solid, Teflon®-coated, graphite block where a flat heater covers 95% of the block’s base. This guarantees temperature uniformity and eliminates hot spots found in hot plates.All PerkinElmer® sample preparation blocks are manufactured to specific tolerances which operates under a Quality Management System that is certified ISO 9001:2008.“The major advantage of the PerkinElmer Sample Preparation Block is its ability to provide me with accurate temperature across the entire block.With every run, I am confident that I have excellent recovery rates from my samples and there is no chance of contamination – which is critical when I’m conducting lead testing on my ICP-AES.”Michigan Department of Community Health Mark Knottnerus Trace Metals ManagerFeatures and Benefits• Ideal for any digestion/heating method which requires a temperature below 180 oC• Provides uniform temperature (±1.0 oC across the block)• Delivers even sample evaporation results• Teflon®-coated graphite block resists aggressive, corrosive attack• Choose from 6 different SPB blocksSample Preparation BlocksControllersTemperature ProbesAutomatic Shut-Off SystemThe SPB series of block digestion systems offers the latest in graphite block technology in many different packages. Graphite blocks are Teflon®-coated to resist aggressive corrosive attack for guaranteed long life in harsh laboratory environments. Our sample blocks operate with either a SPB Digital Controller or SPB Touch Controller*. Please select a controller below and the appropriate Start Up Kit* which includes RackLock DigiTUBE®s, disposable watch glasses, DigiFILTER™s and much more. Each SPB Block includes one set of racks.Description Capacity Part No.SPB 50-24, (115 V/230V) 24 Tubes/50 mL N9308019SPB 100-12, (115 V/230V) 12 Tubes/100 mL N9308010SPB 50-48, (115 V/230V) 48 Tubes/50 mL N9308004SPB 100-30, (115 V/230V) 30 Tubes/100 mL N9308012SPB 50-72, (230V) 72 Tubes/50 mL N9308005SPB 100-42, (230V) 42 Tubes/100 mL N9308014*sold seperately.The user friendly SPB Digital Controller includes programmable features such as: temperature set-point to 0.1 °C, even sample heating and evaporation results, timer shutdown option, and programmable alarm for end of cycle. The SPB Touch Controller includes all of the SPB Digital Controller features and more. Added features include: a graphical representation of the heating profile in real-time to identify the current stage of the method heating program. Safety features include the ability of the controller to monitor the heating cycle of the block to prevent run away situations. The controller allows for the SPB Probe to be calibrated to meet your SOP requirements.The SPB Probe, used with either the Digital or Touch models, can directly monitor and control the block’s heating rate via sample temperature feedback to the controller.Description Part No.SPB Digital Controller N9308006SPB Touch Controller N9308007Why use a thermometer to monitor and manually adjust sample temperature when a SPB Probe will automatically do the job? The SPB Probe provides direct control and monitoring of actual sample temperature via a corrosion-resistant, PFA-coated temperature probe. Available with different holders in a 6” configuration for use with 50 and 100 mL DigiTUBE®s. Each probe is supplied with 5 Probe Watch Glasses and a probe holder.
