PolyScience Water Bath WB05A11B 5L Digital General Purpose Lab Bath

Description

Product Overview

The PolyScience WB05A11B digital water bath is engineered for demanding laboratory environments where temperature accuracy and reliability are paramount. With a 5‑liter capacity, the unit accommodates a wide range of sample volumes, from small vials to larger containers, making it a versatile tool for chemistry, biology, and materials science applications. Constructed from a robust stainless‑steel outer shell, the bath resists corrosion and provides excellent thermal conductivity, ensuring uniform heat distribution throughout the water volume. The integrated digital temperature controller offers precise set‑point adjustments in 0.1 °C increments, while the three pre‑set temperature buttons allow quick access to frequently used temperatures, reducing setup time and minimizing user error. Calibration capability lets users verify and adjust the temperature reading to maintain traceability to standards, and the local lockout feature prevents unauthorized changes to the set‑point, safeguarding experimental integrity. Primary and automatic safety thermostats monitor the bath temperature continuously, shutting off the heating element if the water exceeds safe limits, thereby protecting both the instrument and the user.

Usage

This water bath excels in a variety of laboratory settings. In research laboratories, it provides a stable thermal environment for enzyme reactions, cell culture incubations, and sample extractions that require precise temperature control. Quality‑control labs benefit from its repeatable performance when conducting standardized tests on materials, pharmaceuticals, or food products. Educational institutions use the WB05A11B to demonstrate fundamental concepts of heat transfer and temperature regulation, offering students hands‑on experience with a professional‑grade instrument. The hinged gable cover simplifies loading and unloading of samples while preserving heat, and the compact footprint (14.5 × 12 × 10.5 in) fits comfortably on benchtops without sacrificing capacity. The unit operates on 120 V/60 Hz power, making it compatible with standard North American laboratory power supplies.
