Water baths and chillers are used to bring samples to a specific constant temperature. Depending on the nature and matrix of the substance being tested and the desired outcome, one method may offer more advantages than another. Recirculating chillers control temperature by transferring heat from a sample to another element. The cooling liquid or air is pumped through the system, creating a flow that reduces the sample’s temperature, then returns back to the chiller. The multipurpose shaking water bath uses the motion created by the bath’s mechanism to mix the sample and speed up the reaction while at the same maintaining a consistent temperature. Researchers can adjust the bath’s speed, motion, and length of stroke depending on the sample’s characteristics and the desired treatment. A waterless bead bath is capable of performing essential laboratory functions such as warming, thawing, and incubating without liquid being present. New set temperatures can be achieved quickly, eliminating long warm-up delays and providing researchers the freedom to adjust temperatures during testing. To make the right choice for your application, we recommend you contact your bath and chiller supplier.
