Section 1 Introduction The DRB 200 is supplied as two models, with either one or two heating blocks (Figure 1). The heating blocks can heat solutions in round vials of various sizes at 37–165 °C for a period of 0–480 minutes. The small, 16 mm diameter openings on the heating block are suitable for Hach COD, Unicell, TOC, and Test N’ Tube tests. The larger, 20 mm diameter openings are intended for sample preparation reaction vessels, using the Metals Prep Set.
