PerkinElmer offers a variety of Sample
Preparation Blocks (SPB) and
accessories for your lab needs
Sample Preparation Blocks
The SPB series of block digestion systems offers the latest in graphite
block technology in many different packages. Graphite blocks are
Teflon
®
coated to resist aggressive corrosive attack for guaranteed
long life in harsh laboratory environments.

Controllers
Our sample blocks operate with either a SPB Digital Controller or
SPB Touch Controller. The user friendly SPB Digital Controller includes
programmable features such as: temperature set-point to 0.1 °C, even
sample heating and evaporation results, timer shutdown option, and
programmable alarm for end of cycle.
The SPB Touch Controller includes all of the SPB Digital Controller
features and more. Added features include: a graphical representation
of the heating profile in real-time to identify the current stage of the
method heating program. Safety features include the ability of the
controller to monitor the heating cycle of the block to prevent run away
situations. The controller allows for the SPB Probe to be calibrated to
meet your SOP requirements.
The SPB Probe, used with either the Digital or Touch models, can
directly monitor and control the block’s heating rate via sample
temperature feedback to the controller.

Better laboratory practices demand modern techniques in sample
preparation. In the past, hot plates were used to digest samples
where common digestion problems involve rusting, cross
contamination of digestion system to sample, and poor sample
temperature control. With no exposed metal components and an
outer shell manufactured from Kydex plastic, the SPB blocks
reduce the chances of sample contamination.
Each system is constructed with a solid, Teflon-coated, graphite
block where a flat heater covers 95% of the block’s base. This
guarantees temperature uniformity and eliminates hot spots found
in hot plates. All PerkinElmer sample preparation blocks are
manufactured to specific tolerances which operates under a
Quality Management System that is certified ISO 9001:2008.
