Nickel Electro - Water Bath

Applications & Use Cases

• Maintaining samples at a constant temperature for laboratory experiments.
• Thawing frozen samples gently and uniformly.
• Incubating cell cultures or reagents at specific temperatures.
• Heating chemical reactions requiring precise temperature control.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 5 litres to 20 litres, though smaller or larger units exist.

Power supply

Units of this type typically operate on standard UK single-phase electricity, commonly 230V, 50Hz.

Temperature range

Water baths commonly offer a temperature range from ambient +5°C up to 99°C, depending on the model and controller.

Temperature stability

For laboratory-grade units, temperature stability is typically ±0.1°C to ±0.5°C.

Construction material

The internal tank is commonly constructed from stainless steel for corrosion resistance, with an outer casing often made from coated steel or plastic.

Heating element

Units typically feature an immersed heating element, often with a safety cut-out for low water levels.
