How it is used
A water bath heats samples indirectly: the tubes stand in water held at a set temperature, so every sample warms evenly and cannot rise above the bath setting. The rack keeps the tubes upright and spaced apart, lets water reach all sides of each tube, and stops part-filled tubes from tipping over or floating.
Typical tasks include incubating enzyme and microbiology samples, warming reagents to a working temperature, melting agar and holding reaction tubes at a fixed temperature for a timed step.
- Choose the number of racks for the bath: one in a 4 litre bath, two in an 8 litre, four in a 14 litre and six in a 22 or 28 litre bath.
- Stand the rack in the empty bath and fill it so the water sits above the liquid level in the tubes.
- Load tubes that pass through the 32 mm holes and switch on the bath.
- Lift the rack out after the bath has cooled, or wear heat-resistant gloves if it is still warm.
