Dry Bath Systems – Wiggens WD310 & WD320 for Laboratory Precision

Dry Bath systems from Wiggens, available through Apex Scientific, deliver precise and reliable heating solutions for a wide range of molecular biology and biochemistry applications. Whether you choose the single-block WD310 or dual-block WD320, these compact and customizable heaters are trusted by labs across South Africa for consistent results and efficient workflows.

 

Accurate Temperature Control with Microprocessor Precision

At the core of each dry bath is a high-performance microprocessor that ensures accurate temperature regulation. This control mechanism is essential for maintaining consistency across sensitive experiments, particularly in processes like DNA extraction, nucleic acid hybridization, or enzyme activity analysis. Designed to suit the exacting demands of scientific workflows, these heaters provide confidence in every run.

 

Durable and Efficient Heating Chamber

Both the WD310 and WD320 models feature a molded aluminum heating chamber coated with PTFE, enhancing heat distribution and ensuring durability over time. This one-piece design simplifies cleaning and minimizes contamination risks, making it ideal for routine use in high-throughput labs.

 

Flexible and Customizable Heating Blocks

The Wiggens dry bath series offers a wide selection of interchangeable and customizable heating blocks. Whether you’re incubating culture tubes, running coagulation studies, or working with PCR strips, these blocks adapt to your experimental needs. The WD310 supports single-block configurations, while the WD320 accommodates dual-block setups, offering greater flexibility for multi-sample processing.

 

Intuitive Timer Modes for Workflow Efficiency

To streamline experiment timing, both models include three intelligent timer modes: OFF, OFF-TIME and WAIT-TIME. These options allow for automated scheduling, which helps maintain control over heating durations and enhances productivity without manual intervention.

 

Certified for Safety and Compliance

Both the WD310 and WD320 are CE certified, confirming their compliance with international safety and quality standards. This certification assures labs of reliable performance, safety, and longevity—key considerations for any scientific operation.

 

Wide-Ranging Laboratory Applications

These dry bath systems are suitable for a variety of laboratory processes, including:

  • DNA extractions and analysis
  • Melting and boiling point determinations
  • Enzymatic reactions and activity studies
  • Nucleic acid hybridization
  • Blood examinations and coagulation studies
  • Immunoassays and in situ hybridization
  • Culture incubation and activation
  • Restriction digestion and denaturation

 
Whether you’re working in research, diagnostics, or quality control, the Wiggens dry bath series meets the rigorous requirements of modern labs in South Africa.
