Description:
VWR® VWB2 Water Baths are advanced laboratory equipment designed for reliable temperature regulation across a wide range of applications. The double-walled construction includes an inner stainless steel chamber and an outer coated steel sheet, providing durability and resistance to corrosion. These water baths offer a wide temperature range from ambient +5°C to 99°C with a temperature stability of ±0.2°C, ensuring precise control for sensitive lab procedures.
The baths are equipped with digital temperature indicators that allow users to preset up to three different temperature settings, facilitating repeat experiments. The adjustable over-temperature alarm ensures that samples are protected from overheating, while the dry run protection automatically turns the unit off if insufficient water is detected, safeguarding the equipment from damage.
All models, except the 2-liter versions, come with a drain tap for easy emptying. Larger models (5 liters and above) also feature a heat transfer bead mode, which can be activated through the main menu. The water baths are designed for safety and convenience, being classified as Safety Class 1 for unattended use with non-flammable liquids.
