laboratory electric water bath
Product Description
The Laboratory Electric Water Bath is a precision temperature-controlled apparatus used in laboratories to incubate samples in water at consistent temperatures. It features an electrically heated water reservoir with adjustable temperature settings, digital or analog controls, and safety features such as over-temperature protection. This device is essential for applications requiring uniform heating, such as incubation, warming reagents, melting solids, or enzymatic reactions. Constructed with corrosion-resistant materials and insulated housing, it provides stable temperature conditions for a wide range of laboratory procedures in chemical, biological, pharmaceutical, and industrial settings.
