Water Bath — Thermostatic Baths for Laboratory Sample Preparation

Water bath laboratory equipment is essential for controlled heating, incubation and temperature conditioning of samples in routine and advanced laboratory workflows.
Laboratory water baths provide uniform heat transfer for buffers, reagents, media preparation and incubation tasks where stable temperature control is required.

On this COLO Lab Store category page you will find compact single-position baths (e.g., ODRA1), multi-hole configurations (ring covers + racks),
and higher-capacity thermostatic water baths for general lab workflows. For applications that require external circulation, higher temperature limits, or cooling,
use the related circulating-bath categories below.

SELECTION TIP: HOW TO CHOOSE A WATER BATH

For most laboratories, the right water bath is determined by temperature range, usable volume and sample holder format (single position vs. multiple holes/rings).
When comparing models, also pay attention to temperature stability / uniformity, controller type (PID), safety functions (over-temperature protection, alarms, lock),
and practical details such as lid type, drainage and accessory availability (racks, ring covers, communications, data logging).
