JULABO Water Bath: for Ideal Temperature Control of Substances

What is a Julabo water bath used for?

Water baths can be used in a variety of ways, which is why their use spans a wide range of different industries . For example, heating baths can be utilized for chemical reactions that need to take place at elevated temperatures. Likewise, samples can be thawed, material testing or corrosion testing performed. In addition, water baths are used for many other routine laboratory tasks, incubations and temperature checks. Not least because of this, there is a wide range of different devices. These differ, for example, in terms of minimum and maximum temperatures and capacity. Mini waterbaths are also available for use in small laboratories.

How does a Julabo water bath work?

The design of high quality water baths and heating baths is mostly similar, since the principle of liquid heating is used. Usually it is a temperature control vessel made of metal or plastic, which can be heated on a heating plate. In addition, there is an integrated temperature display with a control system that performs an automatic setpoint/actual value comparison of the liquid in the water bath: If the temperature drops, the heater starts up again.

The choice of liquid in the bath depends on both the suitability of the device and the temperature ranges targeted. Quite simply, water is often used, as it is suitable for temperatures of up to 100°C. For ranges between 100°C and 200°C, glycol baths made of polyethylene glycol are usually used, while silicone oil baths are the bath of choice for temperatures above 200°C. However, oil, especially low-melting metal alloys, and mixtures of bismuth, lead and tin can also be used in some water baths.

The Julabo water bath range at MedSolut includes both PURA series water baths and SW series shaking water baths, so you can choose the optimal product for your needs, requirements, straightforward and safe working:

PURA water baths

The PURA waterbaths from Julabo (e.g. PURA 10) are not only characterized by easy operation and a bright light display , but have also been specially designed for easy cleaning. With these Julabo waterbaths, you can benefit from a working temperature range of 18 °C to 99.9 °C, making it child's play to carry out various processes. The temperature stability is high at +/- 0.15°. The filling volumes range from 0.8 to 36 liters, depending on the model. The equipment is also impressive: PURA waterbaths are flexible and feature an integrated drain plug for quick and clean draining, and come standard with ergonomic recessed grips and a splash-proof power switch. Non-slip rubber feet ensure a firm footing and more safety. Together with the integrated timer, this ensures safe working in the laboratory around the clock.

Shaking water bath

Also the shaking water baths from Julabo also have a lot to offer. With an adjustable shaking frequency of between 20 and 200 revolutions per minute, they ensure constant liquid movement. With the heating power of up to 2 kW, working temperature ranges between a heating capacity of 20 °C and 99.9 °C can be achieved, and the temperature consistency of +/- 0.2 °C is also above average. Julabo's shaking water baths have a filling volume of between 8 and 20 liters and feature simple operation via a membrane keypad. The integrated drain screw and the hinged bath cover ensure a high level of user comfort, while the splash water protection and the warning and switch-off function in the event of over- or undertemperature guarantee greater safety in the laboratory. With these models, you also benefit from an extensive selection of accessories for perfect sample temperature control.

Selection criteria when buying a Julabo water bath

Among the many benefits of Julabo water baths is the wide selection from models with different specifications. This can ensure that you get exactly the right unit for your purposes. It is important to be guided by some individual selection criteria when making a purchase. For water baths, the following aspects in particular can be decisive:

Temperature range

Depending on the products and materials to be tempered in the Julabo water bath, different minimum and maximum temperatures are required. When making your selection, consider the temperature range of the unit. The following applies: The more working temperature ranges can be covered, the more flexibility is created in daily use.

Capacity

The capacity is specified in liters and determines what maximum filling volume is possible. Smaller water baths can usually be heated more quickly and with less energy consumption, but require several passes for larger temperature control tasks. If the volume is increased, such processes can be carried out more quickly.

Temperature control accuracy

The manufacturer uses the temperature control accuracy to indicate how large the maximum deviations from the set water temperature can be. The high heat capacity of water enables good temperature constancy, so that high-quality devices always maintain a temperature stability of +/- 0.15 °C.

Insulation

Insulation and a durable design not only contributes to temperature control accuracy, but also affects temperature radiation and durability. It is best to opt for devices that are made of low-corrosion materials (such as stainless steel). This will keep them usable for a long time during high demands of everyday operations.

Easy cleaning

In terms of cleaning, you should also keep a scrutinizing eye on the material of your new water bath. Also, opt for a model that does not have free heating elements inside. This makes it easier to thoroughly clean the interior of the unit.

Backdrip-free design

Waterbaths with lids should also have a drip-back-free design. Otherwise, you run the risk of causing contamination when using the lid and compromising samples with condensation. Specially domed lids provide a remedy.
