Circulating baths are used in laboratories where stable heating and uniform temperature distribution are required.
They provide controlled heat for samples and support external circulation to connected systems.
As a result, they offer better temperature consistency than simple water baths.

In the Circulating Baths – Heating category at COLO Lab Store, you will find laboratory-grade
thermostatic systems with circulation designed for routine and demanding applications
that require heating without active cooling.

Typical laboratory applications

First, these systems support sample preparation tasks that need controlled and repeatable temperatures.
In addition, laboratories use them for external temperature control of reactors, jackets and closed-loop systems.
Therefore, they are widely applied in chemistry, life sciences and materials testing.

Internal bath use and external circulation

Unlike standard water baths, circulating units include an integrated pump.
This pump moves the thermal fluid continuously, which improves temperature uniformity.
At the same time, it allows connection to external equipment through inlet and outlet ports.

Because of this design, one instrument can control both the bath contents and external processes.
Consequently, laboratories gain flexibility while keeping the setup simple.

Heating performance and stability

Most heated circulating systems operate from ambient temperature plus a few degrees
and reach higher heating limits depending on the model and configuration.
For this reason, they are suitable for routine heating and controlled laboratory processes.

Selected models in this category also provide improved temperature stability.
Therefore, they can support applications that require more precise thermal control,
even without active cooling.

Future extensions

If your application requires both heating and cooling, a dedicated category for
circulating baths with heating and cooling will cover those needs.
However, for heating-focused workflows, circulating heating solutions remain a reliable choice.
