Lab Bead Baths
MRC beads by design, provide a concurrent thermal and antimicrobial activity that efficiently shields the lab and personnel from invading organisms while thermally heating and cooling.
What is the difference between a hot water baths and a hot baths with metal beads
Heated water baths are common in laboratories and are used to heat media in glass and plastic utensils: test tubes, cups and Erlenmeyer.
Water baths have several disadvantages:
- Accumulate dirt and contaminants and should be taken care of and emptied and refilled every few weeks,
-Wetting the dishes and test tubes, the dishes should be dried from the bath,
-The water evaporates and there is a danger of a body burning from heating,
-The water evaporates on the lid and liquids interfere with work.
- The baths and lids get corrosion.
- The heating range is limited to the boiling temperature up to 100 degrees Celsius.
Heated baths with metal beads-Bead Baths solve these problems and replaces the use of water baths (without circulation and without shaker).
-Because the beads are a dry material they are less polluting
-No more need to use test tube stands.
- The uniformity of temperature obtained in a beaded bath is excellent thanks to the good heat conduction of the metal.
- The metal beads also replace the aluminum test tube block in the dry baths
And also replaces the ice.
-The heating power required for heating is 50% less than that required for a water bath.
-Heating range up to 180 Celsius.
You can also find tubes beads bath.
