Novara™ Mini Digital Dry Bath - Programmable Lab Incubator

Designed for versatility and accuracy, the Novara™ Mini Digital Dry Bath is available in two configurations: a heating-only model for standard applications, or a heating and cooling model with advanced Peltier technology for applications requiring below-ambient temperatures.

Intelligent Multi-Program Operation Create and save up to 9 separate temperature programs, each with customizable temperature and time parameters. Perfect for complex protocols requiring multiple temperature stages, from enzyme reactions to DNA denaturation studies. Program your entire workflow once and run it repeatedly with consistent results.

Exceptional Temperature Precision With temperature control accuracy of ±0.5°C and temperature uniformity of ±0.3°C across the block, the Novara Mini Dry Bath ensures reproducible results across all your experiments. Set temperatures in precise 0.1°C increments with clear 0.1°C display resolution. The heating-only model operates from room temperature to 100°C with fast 15-20 minute ramp time, while the heating & cooling model expands your range from 15°C to 100°C with active Peltier cooling capabilities.

Choose Your Model Select the heating-only model for standard laboratory heating applications up to 100°C, ideal for PCR preparation, enzyme inactivation, and general sample warming. Or upgrade to the heating & cooling model for experiments requiring precise temperature control below room temperature (down to 15°C) with active Peltier cooling - perfect for temperature-sensitive reagents, protein studies, and applications requiring rapid temperature transitions.

User-Friendly LCD Touchscreen Interface The intuitive LCD touchscreen displays real-time temperature, set point, program number, and remaining time at a glance. Simple touch controls make programming and operation straightforward, even for complex multi-stage protocols. No complicated menus or confusing buttons - just touch and go.
