Baths Circulators
A laboratory bath, typically a container filled with heated water, is used to incubate, cool samples, maintain reagents, or enable chemical reactions at a constant temperature. Available in Non-circulating, Circulating, or Shaking types, these baths vary in size and temperature range. Circulating baths, with pumps or stirring mechanisms, ensure precise temperature uniformity, while Non-circulating baths rely on convection, offering less accuracy but can be improved with a stirrer. Key factors when purchasing include heating or cooling needs, power requirements, capacity, dimensions, and temperature range. Leading manufacturers include Thermo Fisher, Neslab, Julabo, VWR, and Polyscience.
