Description
Lab Armor 14L Bead Bath
The Lab Armor 14L Bead Bath is a waterless laboratory heating system designed specifically for use with Lab Armor Beads. Its bead-based design provides consistent, uniform temperatures throughout the bath while eliminating water evaporation, condensation, and many of the maintenance issues associated with conventional water baths.
With temperature uniformity of +/-1.0°C at midrange conditions and stability of 0.1°C, the Lab Armor 14L Bead Bath provides a controlled environment for laboratory heating applications. The always-on design allows the bath to remain ready for use and reach new set temperatures quickly without lengthy warm-up delays.
The 14L Bead Bath naturally supports vessels without racks, floats, or bottleneck weights, helping keep samples organized and reducing floating accidents. Lab Armor Beads also provide strong thermal retention and can be used across a broad temperature range, making this waterless bath a practical solution for reproducible laboratory workflows.
14L Waterless Bead Bath Uniform Temperature Control Digital Controller Always-On Operation -80°C to +180°C Bead Range
Uniform Heating: +/-1.0°C temperature uniformity at midrange conditions — supports consistent heating across the bath.
Always Ready: Always-on operation with no water evaporation — allows rapid temperature adjustments without extended warm-up delays.
Waterless Operation: Lab Armor Beads replace traditional water or oil — reducing condensation, contamination concerns, and routine bath maintenance.

Why this Lab Armor 14L Bead Bath?
- Waterless heating environment — replaces traditional water or oil bath media with Lab Armor Beads for cleaner, more controlled laboratory heating.
- Consistent temperature performance — engineered for uniform temperatures throughout the bath with +/-1.0°C thermal uniformity at midrange conditions.
- Always-on convenience — remains ready for use without water evaporation and can reach new set temperatures quickly.
- Organized vessel support — naturally holds laboratory vessels in place without racks, floats, or bottleneck weights.
- Energy-efficient operation — the bead-based design can use substantially less energy than conventional water baths while providing more constant temperatures.
- Reduced maintenance — dry operation eliminates gray water and reduces the need for routine water-bath germicides.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the Lab Armor 14L Bead Bath?
The Lab Armor 14L Bead Bath operates from ambient +5°C to 80°C. Lab Armor Beads used with the system are designed for a broader temperature range of -80°C to +180°C.
What are the benefits of using the Lab Armor 14L Bead Bath instead of a traditional water bath?
The Lab Armor 14L Bead Bath uses Lab Armor Beads instead of water or oil, helping eliminate evaporation and condensation while reducing contamination concerns and maintenance requirements. The bead-based design also provides strong thermal retention and consistent temperature performance.
Does the Lab Armor 14L Bead Bath require racks or floats?
No. The bead medium naturally supports and holds laboratory vessels in place, eliminating the need for many of the racks, floats, and bottleneck weights commonly required with traditional water baths.
How energy efficient is the Lab Armor 14L Bead Bath?
Lab Armor states that its bead bath technology can use over 4X less energy at 65°C and over 2X less energy at 37°C compared with a water bath. The beads also reduce temperature fluctuations associated with evaporative cooling.
