Water baths are a fundamental product and mainly used in chemical or biological laboratories to gently bring samples to a defined temperature and keep them at a constant temperature. The water bath in the laboratory is filled with water and electrically tempered. The samples are placed in a waterproof seamless chamber like a laboratory vessel into the water bath and thus heated continuously and evenly to the water temperature. In such a process, water baths can maintain temperature uniformity of around 100 °C, while other laboratory baths such as oil baths can even reach temperatures of up to 250 °C.
Water baths are used in a wide variety of applications. Due to the high heat capacity of the water and the associated slow temperature adjustment, samples can be tempered particularly gently and precisely. For this reason, a water bath is particularly suitable for chemical laboratories in which, for example, reaction controls are carried out. High performance baths are also used in biological or microbiological environments with sensitive tasks, such as
carrying out chemical reactions at defined temperatures,
the gentle thawing of samples
and the incubation of samples.

To help you find the right water bath for your needs, we are happy to provide you with some selection criteria. This is because the various models can differ in terms of factors such as temperature control, capacity or various additional functions. You should therefore consider the following aspects before purchasing a water bath for your laboratory:
Many devices differ in their respective temperature range. Most water baths can reach water temperatures from room temperature up to at least 95 °C, while some water baths can reach up to 100 °C. The material stainless steel ensures a good isolation of the inside so the water can bet kept on the temperature for a long period.
The required temperature stability is also very important when selecting a laboratory water bath. If you need very precise temperature control, you should opt for baths with low temperature variances of +/- 0.1 °C, for example the water bath JB Academy from GRANT. In some cases, temperature stability is achieved by a continuous flow of water. This means that small temperature differences can be reliably compensated for.
The capacity of the water tank is of great importance for usability. With most appliances, you can choose from different sizes. The volumes range from 0.8 liters to over 40 liters. If you need a particularly large bath for your work area, we recommend taking a look at the baths in the Pura series from our manufacturer JULABO. This model is also available in larger sizes with a capacity of up to 36 liters. Sometimes you can also chose a personal sized bath.
Many water baths also have a stirring or shaking function and are microprocessor controlled and come with a bright led display. The stirring systems often used here are magnetic stirrers which ensure that the water is continuously swirled. With a shaking water bath the samples are kept in motion with a linear or circular shaking motor, such as the Wisd shaking water bath WSB from witeg. Sometimes the baths can also be used as dry bath.
Water baths with an additional cooling function can be used not only as a heating bath but can also be used as a cooling bath. This combination significantly extends the temperature range. In our MedSolut range, the JB Nova water bath from GRANT offers this function, allowing you to achieve negative temperatures down to -47 °C.
