Introduction
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 insulator 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.
12 Place Heater Block
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.
50 Place Heater Block
The 50 place heater is the ideal option for high throughput labs that may be analyzing hundreds of samples a day.
