Lab Armor 6L Bead Bath
The Lab Armor 6L Bead Bath is a waterless laboratory heating system designed specifically for use with Lab Armor Beads. Its bead-based design provides a clean, stable, and consistent thermal environment for laboratory vessels while eliminating the evaporation and condensation associated with conventional water baths.
Designed for dependable temperature control, the Lab Armor Bead Bath provides uniform temperatures with thermal uniformity of +/-1.0 °C at 37 °C and temperature stability of 0.1 °C at midrange conditions. The digital controller and direct-heating design allow users to adjust temperature settings without waiting for the extended warm-up periods common with traditional water baths.
The Lab Armor 6L Bead Bath helps laboratories maintain organized, contamination-conscious workflows without the racks, floats, or bottleneck weights typically required by water baths. The dry bead environment also eliminates water evaporation and reduces routine maintenance associated with maintaining a conventional water bath.
