Laboratory Water Baths
Laboratory water baths are the preferred method of heating flammable chemicals, and they do an excellent job of maintaining even temperatures. Water baths can keep samples moving while being heated by either shaking or circulating the samples according to testing specifications.
Laboratory water bath applications
For over 70 years Memmert has developed top-of-the-line, reliable and user-friendly water baths for all laboratory and research uses. Memmert water baths are energy efficient and precise—perfect for any project. Our precise controls ensure complete temperature uniformity and stability during every use. Water baths are available in seven model sizes with either standard temperature control or electronic overtemperature control capabilities. Contact a Memmert USA representative to get pricing and get matched with the right model for your project. Water baths offer several advantages over other heating methods, including low thermal mass, high heat transfer coefficient, and easy temperature control, making them versatile and essential tools in many laboratory settings. Memmert water baths have a wide variety of uses for both research and industrial settings:
- Corrosion testing and material testing
- Temperature control of samples, plaques and breeding specimens
- Fermentation and homogenization
- Testing vaccines
- Temperature control of balms and emulsions
- And many more
The process of using a water bath starts by setting a defined temperature for the electronically controlled water bath. Thermal energy is then transferred to the water chamber through heat conduction beginning the process of heating the bath. Accessories can be added to any of our water baths that include electronically controlled shaking devices and compact cooling units.
Frequently Asked Questions About Laboratory Water Baths
