Baths

Purpose: A Le Chatelier Water Bath is laboratory equipment made from a mild steel/SS container filled with heated water. It is used to incubate samples in water at a constant temperature over a long period of time. Most water baths have a digital or an Analog to allow users to set a desired temperature. Utilizations include warming of reagents, melting of substrates or incubation of cell cultures. It is also used to enable certain chemical reactions to occur at high temperature. Water baths are preferred heat sources for heating flammable chemicals, as their lack of open flame prevents ignition. Different types of water baths are used depending on application. For all water baths, it can be used up to 99.9 °C when temperature is above 100 °C, alternative methods such as oil bath, silicone bath or sand bath may be used.
