CEM High Precision Heater Block
Consistent sample temperature is a critical component of an accurate and repeatable results in the ORACLE. In order
to ensure that every sample analyzed in the ORACLE is at the proper sample temperature, CEM has developed and
provides their own High Precision Heater Block. Standard market heater blocks can have temperature differences of
up to 3°C between each individual hole, which would lead to poor results. CEM’s High Precision Heater Block utilizes
a form-fitted insluator in order to reduce the temperature difference by 90%, down to 0.3°C, as well as a newly
designed heating component that better fits the ORACLE tubes.
Samples are typically conditioned for a minimum of 60 minutes at the preset temperature. The results from samples
that are analyzed for shorter than 60 minutes cannot be guaranteed by CEM. If a more rapid temperature
conditioning is required, please refer to the QuikPrep section of the manual about the option to use the QuikPrep
integrated heater.
The 12 place heater is provided for users that use a
SMART 6 system for rapid moisture analysis, then need
to condition their samples prior to analysis. It is compact
so as not to take up too much benchtop area, but more
accurate than any other available heater block.
The 50 place heater is the ideal option for high-
throughput labs that may be analyzing hundreds of
samples a day. The improved temperature accuracy
makes the CEM High Precision Heater Block the only
viable option for accurate temperature conditioning.
