Perform derivatization and other small-scale reactions reliably and with ease using the Thermo Scientific™ Reacti-Therm™ Heating and Stirring module. This module has dry block heaters that provide uniform, stable heating between 10–200 °C. The Reacti-Therm heater/stirrer is available in four models—single block and triple block sizes with either heat-only or heat-and-stir capability. This versatile system is compatible with a range of interchangeable accessories, for applications on small samples for a range of applications.

Ideal applications

• General sample incubation and evaporation in a variety of tube and vial sizes

• Silylation, alkylation, and acylation derivatization reactions for GC sample preparation

• Protein hydrolysis and vacuum hydrolysis reactions for amino acid analysis by HPLC

Additional features

• LED display: match digital display to in-block thermometer to calibrate temperature set-point

• Modular design: switch aluminum blocks and vials; attach compatible evaporator manifold

• Four models: single-block and triple-block sizes with either heat-only or heat-and-stir capability

• In-block temperature control option by Remote Temperature Probe, an optional accessory to allow temperature regulation from block wells or actual sample vials

The Pierce Reacti-Therm Modules are the only dry block heating systems custom designed for vacuum hydrolysis tubes. Reacti-Therm Modules are easy-to-use dry block heaters that provide constant temperature control. They are ideal for the heating, stirring and evaporation required for sample derivatization prior to analysis by GC or high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). They are also ideal for other small-scale reactions. Designed with a recessed cavity that holds interchangeable Reacti-Block Aluminum Blocks, the modules can also be used for sample incubation and evaporation, and vacuum hydrolysis for amino acid analysis. Choose from four module designs: single-block heating, single-block heating/stirring, triple-block heating, and triple-block heating/stirring.

Applications: 

Sample incubation and evaporation; Protein hydrolysis and vacuum hydrolysis for amino acid analysis; Small scale reactions and derivatization reactions for HPLC and GC.

Highlights: 

Deliver uniform dry heat with unmatched convenience and versatility; Heating/stirring modules feature variable speed stirring, which is ideal for promoting smooth, uniform reactions and for dissolving residues; Eliminate sample contamination that sometimes occurs with water baths; Reacti-Block Aluminum Blocks are available for use with a wide selection of Reacti-Vial Small Reaction Vials, test tubes, vacuum hydrolysis tubes and general sample vials and containers.
