Elscolab presents some revolutionary equipment: Lab Armor Bead Baths – Lab Armor Chill Buckets

No more troubles with water baths, we present you the new bead baths!
Lab Armor – Bead Bath

A Lab Armor Bead Bath performs all the essentials such as warming, thawing, incubating and chilling while maintaining a constant temperature just like a water bath, but with some extra benefits:

? The Bead Bath naturally holds things in place without accessories.
? Higher energy efficiency: water constantly evaporates during water bath operation which causes a cooling effect. Due to this evaporative-cooling effect, the bath must heat more frequently which increases energy consumption.
? The Bead Bath never has to be turned off.
? Any type of vessel can be used; they don’t have to be water-tight. No risk of water infiltrating into the vessels.
? An exceptional temperature uniformity of +/- 0.5°C at 37°C and +/- 1.0°C at 65°C and fewer temperature fluctuations.
? 3 Bead Bath sizes: 6, 14 and 20 litres, depending on your specifications, needs and applications.
? Environmentally friendly: efforts have been made to eliminate the need of germicides that are a common part of water bath maintenance. Bead Baths are dry and periodic decontamination with a biodegradable disinfectant such as 70% ethanol is usually all that is required. The Beads are formed from solid recyclable metal, which means that the raw material can be reused in other products.

No more melted ice, puddles, floating tubes or wet and contaminated samples!
Lab Armor - Chill Bucket

The Chill Bucket is a revolutionary laboratory ice bucket that works without ice. It chills while keeping everything dry and in place, so you no longer have to worry about water-borne contamination or losing track of your samples.
