Laboratory Water Baths – Accurate Heating Solutions for Any Lab

Our collection includes general-purpose water baths, digital circulating baths, and orbital shaking baths. All are built with robust stainless steel interiors, accurate digital controls, and safety features that make daily lab operation smooth and safe.

Each model is chosen for its durability, ease of use, and adaptability—perfect for both seasoned professionals and labs setting up for the first time.

Why Our Water Baths Stand Out:

Temperature accuracy to ±0.1–0.2 °C with fast heat-up times
Models from 2L to 20L+ capacity to suit small benchtops or larger sample loads
Digital interfaces with programmable timers and preset memory functions
Safety features include over-temperature protection and low-liquid detection
Removable lids, drains, and stainless interiors for easy maintenance
Energy-efficient designs for long daily runs and low power consumption

Whether you're a new startup lab, a university life sciences department, a clinical diagnostics lab, or an industrial QC facility, our water baths scale with your workflow. These lab essentials combine performance, safety, and affordability, so you can focus on research, not equipment limitations.

📚 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What types of laboratory water baths are available?

You’ll find several main types: general-purpose baths for basic incubation and sample warming; circulating baths (with pumps) that ensure uniform, precise temperatures; shaking baths that provide agitation for culture or solubility work; refrigerated/low-temperature baths for cooling needs; and programmable digital models with presets and alarms

Why choose a circulating water bath instead of a static one?

Circulating baths continuously move water, delivering consistent temperature throughout the reservoir—ideal for accurate enzymatic reactions and sensitive assays. Static baths rely on natural convection and often have less uniform heating, which may suit non-critical applications

How often should I clean and change the water in a water bath?

Maintain hygiene by draining, cleaning, and refilling the bath about once a week—or immediately if contamination or cloudiness occurs. Regular monthly deep cleaning or biocide use helps prevent algae and bacterial buildup

Are digital water baths better than analog ones?

Digital models deliver more precise temperature control (±0.1–0.2 °C), programmable presets, safety alarms, and better stability—making them ideal for regulated protocols, high-throughput labs, and reproducibility-focused workflows

Can I use a water bath safely for biological samples?

Absolutely. Water baths offer controlled, flame-free heating environments. Features like stainless steel tanks, sealed lids, alarms, and over-temperature protection lower contamination risk and enhance safety compared to open heat sources
