Building on what Grant says is the superior performance, high quality design and rugged reliability of previous models, the QBD digital models are enhanced by some highly practical features.
The reaction timer aids time-sensitive incubations, while the function timer enables early morning start-up and delayed switch-off, in the interests of time saving, cost saving and safety considerations.
Precision performance is enhanced by offset adjustment and two-point calibration, together with the external probe; the high and low alarms provide additional sample protection.
The QBH high performance model offers even more, with a temperature range up to 200C and a simple programming function.
The QBA analogue models present an exceptionally high quality solution at a very cost-effective price, says the company.
All models are of a similar robust construction in streamlined coolwall aluminium and chemical resistant plastic, with an exciting contemporary design.
The sloping fascia allows ease of operation and long distance visibility, while the small footprint and a low profile are retained.
These are described as truly outstanding products, unparalleled in the market place, supported by a three-year guarantee and the CE mark.
Grant block heaters can be purchased worldwide through an extensive network of approved laboratory equipment distributors.
