Product Overview
A constant-temperature water bath is a fundamental laboratory heating instrument used for distillation, drying, evaporation, concentration, and chemical impregnation of biological and chemical samples at uniform temperatures up to 100°C. BKMAMLAB Labshark digital-display water baths cover single-hole and multi-hole configurations to fit beakers, test tubes, Erlenmeyer flasks, and evaporating dishes of various sizes.
Key Features & Advantages
- Five configurations: HH-W420 (single-hole), WB-1 (single-hole), WB-2 (two-hole), WB-4 (four-hole), WB-6 (six-hole) to accommodate various vessel sizes and throughput needs.
- SUS 304 stainless-steel inner tank: Corrosion-resistant, easy to clean, and compatible with a wide range of laboratory reagents.
- Digital constant-temperature control: Fast heat transfer with precise temperature regulation for reproducible results.
- Dual-temperature safety protection: Prevents overheating and protects both samples and operator.
- Removable ABS cover with 304 stainless-steel ring: Accommodates tall vessels and provides safe, flexible configurations for different experimental setups.

Comparison & Competitive Advantages
Unlike oil baths that pose burn and fire hazards and require ventilation, the BKMAMLAB Labshark water bath provides safe, clean heating up to 100°C using water as the heat-transfer medium. Compared to dry-block heaters, water baths offer more uniform temperature distribution around irregularly shaped vessels and provide better thermal contact for precise temperature control. The dual-temperature safety protection and SUS 304 stainless-steel construction provide durability and safety advantages over budget-brand water baths with single-layer or lower-grade steel tanks.
Applications
Widely used for thawing biological samples, incubating reagents, melting agar, warming culture media, controlled-temperature reactions, and clinical sample preparation. Suitable for laboratory research, bioengineering, pharmaceutical preparation, health and environmental protection testing, petroleum analysis, metallurgy, and chemical industry workflows.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a laboratory water bath used for?
A: A laboratory water bath is used for uniform heating of samples at controlled temperatures up to 100°C. Common applications include thawing biological samples, incubating reagents, melting agar, warming culture media, and conducting controlled-temperature chemical reactions.
Q: What is the maximum temperature of the BKMAMLAB Labshark water bath?
A: The maximum operating temperature is 100°C, which is suitable for most biological and chemical laboratory heating applications. For temperatures above 100°C, a heating mantle or oil bath would be required.
Q: Can the water bath accommodate different vessel sizes?
A: Yes, BKMAMLAB Labshark water baths are available in 1-hole, 2-hole, 4-hole, and 6-hole configurations with removable covers and stainless-steel rings that accommodate beakers, test tubes, Erlenmeyer flasks, and evaporating dishes of various sizes.
Q: How should the water bath be maintained for safe operation?
A: Always fill the tank with water before turning on the power. Remove the lid with a high-temperature-resistant tool when hot. Perform power-off protection at the end of every shift. Clean the SUS 304 stainless-steel tank regularly to prevent mineral buildup and maintain optimal heat transfer.
