Accurate, modular heating for digestion and sample preparation.

Rowe Scientific now offers the VELP ECODryBlock range – a flexible family of digital dry block systems for COD digestion and general sample heating in environmental and life science laboratories. With intuitive touch control, excellent temperature stability and strong safety features, ECODryBlock systems provide a compact, modern alternative to traditional digesters and block heaters.

Safe, controlled heating for demanding methods

• Clearly indicated hot-surface warnings and status icons on the 7" touch display help operators work safely around hot blocks.
• Integrated over-temperature and over-current protection safeguards both users and samples.
• Robust aluminium blocks, transparent lids and stable block design reduce splash, aerosol and spill risk during digestion.

Consistent performance, flexible configurations

• Working temperature up to 165 °C with excellent block stability and homogeneity for reproducible results.
• External Pt100 / Pt1000 probe input (where required) supports direct control and verification of sample temperature.
• Modular platform: one ControlPad can manage two heating modules as independent temperature zones, allowing digestion on one module and incubation or sample preparation on the other.
• Compact footprint makes ECODryBlock ideal for crowded benches and busy routine labs.

A global dairy specialist, now available through Rowe Scientific
