Lab Companion BW3-20G General-Purpose Water Bath (20L)

The Lab Companion BW3-20G is a high-performance, general-purpose heating bath designed for a wide range of laboratory applications that require precise temperature control. With its 20-liter capacity and advanced features, this water bath is an ideal choice for industrial labs, clinical research, academic institutions, and quality control testing.

Key Features and Benefits:

Superior Performance and Precision:

• Wide Temperature Range: Operates from ambient +7°C up to 100°C, suitable for diverse heating tasks.
• Exceptional Stability: Maintains a temperature stability of ±0.2°C at 50°C, ensuring your experiments are both repeatable and reliable.
• Intelligent Control: Features a microprocessor PID controller that provides rapid, precise temperature regulation. It includes an automatic tuning function to optimize control parameters and a simple calibration process for accuracy.
• Efficient Heating: Heats up to 70°C in approximately 50 minutes, minimizing wait times and improving lab productivity.

User-Centric Design and Convenience:

• Clear Digital Display: An easy-to-read LED screen shows the current and set temperatures with a fine 0.1°C resolution.
• Programmable Operation: A dual wait on/off timer (from 1 minute to 99 hours, 59 minutes) and advanced programming functions allow for automated, unattended operation, which is perfect for critical research protocols and regulatory tests.
• Memory Function: Store up to three frequently used temperature settings for instant recall, saving time and reducing setup errors.
• Durable Construction: The seamless, corrosion-resistant stainless steel bath is easy to clean and compatible with various thermal fluids, including water and silicone oils. Its low-profile design provides easier access.

Uncompromised Safety:

• Isolated Design: The heater and sensor are isolated by a baffle plate, protecting both users and valuable samples from direct contact and potential damage.
• Comprehensive Alarm System: A complete safety protection system alerts users to potential issues with audible and visual alarms for low fluid levels (preventing dry-running), over-temperature conditions, and over-current faults.
• Durable and Safe Exterior: The keypad is splash-proof for added protection against accidental spills in a busy lab environment.
