Compact on-deck instrument, heating any disposable up to 135 °C
The HeatPAC delivers precise and rapid sample heating in an ultra-compact format. Occupying just one ANSI/SLAS plate position and with a low profile of only 40 mm, it is ideal for space-constrained workflows and compatible with high-profile consumables such as deep well plates.Offering accurate and uniform heating up to 135 °C, the HeatPAC ensures reliable performance.
Easy Integration into robotic workflows
- occupies only one ANSI/SLAS plate position in the workflow with a profile of 40mm
- controlled with the separate Inheco Single TEC Control unit (STC) off the workflow or with the Inheco Multi TEC Control unit to control up to six instruments in parallel
Performance:
- operates in a temperature range of room temperature to +135°C
- temperature accuracy of ±0.3 K and uniformity of ±0.5 K
Features:
- easy gripper access lets you comfortably use the gripper of your choice
- can be used with your disposables including vials and reservoirs, for optimized heat transfer Inheco offers over 200 adapters, manufactured in house
- designed, engineered and made in Germany, rigorous quality control
- global two-year warranty and full customer service including remote support, diagnostic and servicing options

Why use an on-deck heater?
For rapid and precise heating of your sample to the desired temperature. The HeatPAC is a highly cost-effective solution.What to look for in an on-deck heater?
Heaters need to reach the required temperature and stay there, predictably. When space in the workflow is at a premium, a heater with a small footprint and low profile to give easy access to disposables makes life easier.
- Temperature range - maximum temperature offered.
- Temperature uniformity - delivering identical temperature across the entire block, with identical results for samples in the middle or on the edge of the block, and throughout the run.
- Temperature accuracy - ensuring accurate and stable, reproduceable temperatures for the duration of the run, and for every sample in the block.
- Uniform temperature change (ramp rates) - maintaining temperature uniformity across the entire block.
- Small footprint - delivering the required performance while taking up as little space in the workflow as possible.
- Low profile - to make pipetting and use of taller disposables easier.
Precise, uniform heating up to 135 °C
Heating- Temperature range: from ambient +5 K to +135 °C.
- Accuracy at 37 °C target temperature ±0.5 K.
- Uniformity at 37 °C target temperature ±0.5 K.
Optional Heated Lid
- The Heated Lid can be used as an add-on heater on top of the HeatPAC, to increase the rate of heating, improve temperature uniformity (especially for deep well plates), and enable longer incubation.
- The Heated Lid helps to avoid condensation at the top of the plate, and reduce losses due to evaporation, without needing the space of a dedicated incubator.
- The flexible cable and low weight (420 g) mean it can be transported by most gripper systems, while being heavy enough to seal the plate, so allowing full automated processing.
- API available. The Inheco HeatPAC is quick to connect, and ready for future developments in your lab.
