(Torrey Pines Scientific: Carlsbad, CA) -- Torrey Pines Scientific Inc., manufacturer of chilling and heating laboratory equipment, announces its new EchoTherm Model SC25XT Fully Programmable Variable Speed Shaking Dry Bath for use with biological and other samples.

The SC25XT is fully programmable with five-program memory and a temperature range from –20°C to 100°C. It has a variable speed orbital shaker for mixing samples while controlling sample temperature to 1ºC.

Included are a 30-day countdown timer with alarm and auto-off, data logger, and RS-232 I/O port for data logging or controlling the units from a computer. The SC25XT uses accessory sample blocks available for 0.2, 0.5, 1.5, 15, and 50 ml centrifuge tubes. Also available are 2 ml vials, 20 ml scintillation vials, PCR tubes and plates, 96-well and 384-well assay plates of all shapes, deep-well assay plates, and other blocks for various sizes of test tubes. The unit is Peltier-driven for chilling and heating.

This unit is an excellent molecular biology tool and can be used to run temperature/time profiles, unattended restriction digestions or ligations, automatic enzyme reactions and deactivations, storing oocytes at 17°C, storing DNA libraries at the workstation, and more.

The SC25XT is complete with instructions and universal benchtop power supply for use anywhere in the world, and it is compliant with Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and Canadian Standards Association (CSA) standards, and CE Mark requirements.
