FAQ

What temperature range and accuracy do these baths provide?

Operating range is RT + 5 °C to 99.9 °C with 0.1 °C display resolution and stability of ±0.5 °C (2 L, 5 L) or ±0.3 °C (13 L, 24 L).

Do the baths include a lid and base tray?

Yes. Each unit ships with a transparent lid (with probe port) and a base tray to elevate samples for improved uniformity.

Is there protection against dry start and overheating?

Yes. Dry-start protection and an over-temperature cut-off with alarm are built in to safeguard samples and equipment.

Can I program and save setpoints?

You can store up to three quick-launch programs and run either continuous or timed cycles (up to 99 h 59 min on larger models).

Is calibration simple?

Yes. A guided two-point calibration (low/high) is accessible via the glass-touch interface. Annual calibration is recommended per lab protocol.

Stainless Steel Water Bath 2, 5, 13, 24 Liter | USA Lab

* This item may be subject to dropship, please call for lead time*

Advanced Water Baths in 2, 5, 13, and 24 liter sizes. Sleek design with advanced digital controls and a built-in timer.  Programmable setpoints for easy use.  Includes lid and platform base for accurate and quick sample temperature management. Great for use with tubes, beakers, bags, or any containers. This will become your laboratory's go-to water bath for microbial or molecular work.

Programmable, Modern, Water Baths for Accurate Temperature Control of Samples, Solutions, and Saccharomyces

Water is the best method to transfer heat to a sample due to its ability to conform to the container and its thermal properties. Per4mance water baths have a modern design and performance that take laboratory water baths to the next level. The basin is manufactured of high-grade stainless steel that resists corrosion and is easily cleaned. The glass touch panel allows for temperature and timer controls with three configurable program buttons for quick launching of temperature setpoints

Features

• Easy to read LED display

• Adjustable temperature range

• Precise temperature control

• User-friendly glass panel touch interface

• Dry-start protection feature for improved safety

• Over-temperature cut-off & alarm to protect samples from over heating

• Programmable modes can store up to 3 programs

• Durable stainless-steel chamber

• Timed operation capable

• Easy to switch temperature unit between fahrenheit (°F) and celcius (°C)

Intelligent design

Per4mance takes water baths seriously. Each water bath includes a see through lid and a base tray. The lid has a port for a temperature probe and the base tray positions the samples in the ideal position. Water baths are heated from the bottom and the sides. When the sample is in contact with a heating surface, temperature will not be as accurate and uniform. The base tray keeps the sample from contacting the heating surface. Most water bath suppliers don’t include these items, but we go the extra step to ensure our units outperform

Calibration is Key

Have you ever tried to calibrate a water bath? It should be easy, but many suppliers have hidden menus and difficult to follow instructions to calibrate their equipment. The Four E’s water baths have simple menus for a two-point temperature calibration. The easy-to-use glass-touch interface walks the user through a low point calibration and a high point calibration. We recommend that the water baths be calibrated annually or as needed based on your labs protocol
