Frequently Asked Questions - SBSLAB150 STEINBERG

How to set the temperature on the SBSLAB150 dry bath?

Press the Temp button and use the ▲/▼ arrows to adjust the value. For faster adjustments, press and hold for more than 3 seconds to change digit position (units/tens). The instrument automatically saves the setting.

How to set the operating time?

Press the Time button and use the ▲/▼ arrows to change the value (hours:minutes format). Press and hold for more than 3 seconds for quick position change.

How to program a cycle with multiple temperature steps?

Press Prog. to set the final node (from S2 to S5). The program always runs from S1 to the selected node. For example, for S1-S2-S3-S4, select S4 as the final node. Then press Start/Stop to start.

How to configure the five predefined temperature nodes?

Use the Seg button to navigate between S1, S2, S3, S4 and S5. For each node, set the temperature and time as described earlier. These settings are saved and can be recalled quickly.

What to do if the display flashes or does not turn on?

First check that the device is properly plugged in and the power switch is in the ON position. If the problem persists, consult the full manual or contact technical support.

How to clean the dry bath block?

Use a clean, soft cloth moistened with a small amount of anhydrous alcohol to clean the conical holes. For the surface, a soft cloth with a mild cleaning paste is sufficient. Ensure the power is disconnected before cleaning and avoid letting liquids enter the holes.

What types of tubes can I use with this dry bath?

The standard block accepts 1.5 ml tubes. The product is designed for various applications such as sample incubation, DNA amplification or serum solidification. Use tubes suitable for the conical holes.

Does the dry bath heat up quickly?

Yes, the microcomputer control allows rapid temperature rise and precise regulation. The 50 W power ensures efficient heating for standard volumes.

How to turn off and recycle the device at end of life?

Unplug the device and do not dispose of it with household waste. Take it to a WEEE collection point (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment). Plastics are recyclable according to their marking.

Can I use the dry bath without programming, in continuous mode?

Yes, simply set a temperature and a time (or a very long time) then press Start/Stop. The program will run until the end of the set time. You can also stop manually at any time.

Button	Instruction
	Program Selection: Select the desired program node, supporting up to five nodes: S1, S2, S3, S4, and S5.
	Temperature Setting: Use the temperature setting button to adjust the operating temperature. Press “▲ and ”▼ to modify the temperaturevalue. For faster adjustments, long press “▲and ” to change the digit position.
Time ▲▼	Timing Setting: Use the timing setting button to set the duration. Press “▲ and “▼” to set the desired time. For quicker adjustments, long press “▲” and “”to change the digit position.
Prog.	Prog.Program Setting: Press the button to select the endpoint node. The start node defaults to S1. The following program sequences can be configured: S1-S2, S1-S2-S3, S1-S2-S3-S4, and S1-S2-S3-S4-S5.
Start/Stop	Start/Stop: Press the button to begin the program operation. Press again to stop the program.

Operation instructions

1. Single-point program setting

a) Turn on the power switch, the display is shown in the figure below.

System-Testing

...

The instrument will initialize, accompanied by a "Beep" sound.

b) After 6 seconds, the display will show: "S1" as the last operating node, "30.0" as the current temperature of the blocks, "37.0" as the previously set temperature, and "10:00" as the previously set time. The temperature is displayed in "℃", and the time is shown in "hours: minutes". The display is shown in the figure below.

S1 30.0 00:00

S1 37.0 10:00

c) Press the Temp button to adjust the temperature value by increasing or decreasing the decimal place. If you long press the button for more than 3 seconds, the adjustment will quickly move from the unit to the tens place, allowing for faster changes.

Press the Time button to adjust the time value by increasing or decreasing it. Holding the button for more than 3 seconds will cause the adjustment to move quickly from the unit to the tens place, allowing for faster modifications.

e.g. To set the temperature to 40^ C and the time to 2 hours from 37^ C and 10 hours: Press the Temp button until it increases to 40^ C, then release the button. The instrument will automatically confirm and save the setting. Next, press the button until the setting decreases to 02:00, then release the button. The instrument will confirm and save the time. The temperature and time settings for the S1 node are now successfully configured. Press the Start/Stop button to run the program. The display is shown in the figure below.

2. Multi-point program setting

a) Press the Prog. button to combine the temperature points of S1, S2, S3, S4, and S5 into multi-point connection programs, such as S1-S2, S1-S2-S3, S1-S2-S3-S4, or S1-S2-S3-S4-S5.

NOTICE! The temperature point of the multi-point program can only start from S1.

b) E.g. To set a connection program for S1-S2-S3-S4, press the Prog. button. The display will show the current configuration, where S1 is the starting node (which cannot be changed) and S2 is the end node (which can be modified). Press the button to change S2 to S4. Then press Start/Stop button to confirm the setting. The node configuration will be displayed as S1-4, and the program will run through the S1-S2-S3-S4 sequence.

c) Press Start/Stop button again to run S1-S2-S3-S4 four-point connection program.

NOTICE! After selecting the end node, you can press Start/Stop button to run the multi-point m directly.

Cleaning and maintenance

Use a clean, soft cloth moistened with a small amount of anhydrous alcohol to clean the taper holes in the instrument's blocks. This ensures full contact and efficient heat conduction between the test tube and the taper holes, while preventing contamination.

If stains appear on the instrument's surface, clean it with a soft cloth and a mild cleaning paste.

CAUTION

• Ensure the power supply is turned off before cleaning the instrument.
• DO NOT allow cleaning agents to enter the taper holes during cleaning.
- Avoid using corrosive cleaning agents on the instrument's surface.
