PerkinElmer has introduced its new sample preparation blocks and accessories. These products are designed to meet contemporary sample digestion needs in environmental and basic laboratory research and to combat associated temperature and contamination problems.

SPBs are suitable for providing low-to-medium temperature sample digestion in laboratories performing inorganic analyses on a variety of samples such as water, soil, food and various biomonitoring materials. There are currently six different SPB blocks available, ranging in capacity from 12 to 72 samples and accommodating either 50 mL or 100 mL tube sizes. A complete range of consumables and accessories are available including an easy-to-use touchscreen control unit.
