Thermostatic Baths are used for incubation and inactivation of cultures, warming bacteriological media, processing chemical reactions or thawing frozen samples in research labs, standard and special labs that deal with medicine, science and industry. Modern thermostatic baths feature microprocessor controlled temperature regulation, excellent temperature consistency (usually ±0.1 °C), digital temperature readout, independent overtemperature protection systems and much more. Volumes vary from several liters in bench top models to tens of liters in industrial models.
