Intended Use
The INHECO HeatPAC is a very compact unit with super low height of only 40 mm at
disposable contact surface. This low height makes it ideal for liquid handling
workstations with limited space between the pipetting head and the heating block,
eliminating the need for cut-outs and enabling the use of deepwell disposables. Its
footprint is hardly bigger than a microplate, most ANSI/SLAS (formerly SBS) listed
disposables can be fitted. The system is also suited for the heating of tubes and other
carrier formats. Cable routings are flexible, allowing the cable either to exit downwards,
sideways or lengthways. The unit is a ready-to-install high performance resistance
heater device, CE and UL certified.
A wide range of thermal adapter plates (inserts, nests) to match the required disposable
are available. Adapter plates and positioner can be easily taken down for cleaning, or
changed to another configuration within minutes.
The HeatPAC device is mostly used on robotic platforms and systems in Lab
Automation.
The HeatPAC can be operated with two types of precise temperature controllers with
integrated power supply (MTC or STC). The units are plug-and-play high performance
heating devices with CE and UL certification.
The HeatPAC is designed specifically for use in Life Science and In Vitro Diagnostics. It
is prepared for easy integration into IVD applications, but the final IVD validation has to
be performed by the first marketer (IVD application).
When using the HeatPAC in a Biosafety Laboratory Environment, the user is responsible
for labeling the devices according to the WHO Laboratory Biosafety Manual (ISBN 92
4154650 6) and for operating the devices according to this Biosafety Manual.
The HeatPAC
must be used exclusively by laboratory professionals trained in laboratory
techniques with labautomation systems and having studied the instructions for use of
this instrument as well as the instructions of the workstation the device is used in.
