About Laboratory Water Bath
A Laboratory Water Bath is a precision heating equipment designed to incubate and maintain samples at a constant temperature for extended periods. It consists of a stainless-steel chamber filled with water, heated by an integrated heating element and controlled through a digital or analog temperature controller.
Widely used in microbiology, biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and research laboratories, this equipment ensures uniform heat distribution and safe heating without direct flame exposure.
Key Features
- Temperature range: Ambient +5C to 99C
- High-precision thermostat / digital PID controller
- Stainless steel inner chamber for corrosion resistance
- Uniform temperature distribution for accurate results
- Double-walled construction with insulation
- Over-temperature protection and safety features
- Available in multiple capacities (6L, 12L, 25L, etc.)
Working Principle
The water bath operates by heating water using an internal electric heater. The thermostat or digital controller regulates and maintains the desired temperature by switching the heater on and off automatically, ensuring stable and uniform heating conditions.
Applications
- Incubation of samples
- Warming reagents and media
- Melting substrates
- Bacteriological and microbiological testing
- DNA/RNA and enzyme studies
- Chemical reactions requiring controlled heating
Types Available
- Digital Water Bath
- Serological Water Bath
