ODRA42 Thermostatic Water Bath · 4 holes · RT+5 to 100 °C · 14.6 L
The thermostatic water bath ODRA42 has four holes in two rows and a 14.6 L stainless steel tank, for up to four beakers or flasks at the same temperature. A U-shaped heater sits directly in the water, and the PID controller keeps the temperature from RT+5 °C to 100 °C with 0.1 °C resolution. Concentric rings in each hole close the opening around vessels of different sizes.

A water bath for four vessels
Routine work often needs several containers at the same temperature — samples with controls, or reagents for a series of tests. ODRA42 holds up to four in two rows on a compact footprint and heats 14.6 L of water. The deep-drawn tank has rounded corners and is easy to clean, and the ring lid reduces evaporation and heat loss.

Key features
- Temperature RT+5 °C to 100 °C, resolution 0.1 °C
- Four holes in two rows, 14.6 L deep-drawn stainless steel tank, 325 × 300 × 150 mm
- U-shaped stainless steel heater directly in the water, 1000 W
- PID controller with actual (PV) and set (SV) value display, auto-tuning and alarm
- Stainless steel lid with four holes and concentric rings included
- Compact powder-coated steel housing
Suitable for
- Up to four beakers, flasks or bottles at the same temperature
- Samples, controls and reagents side by side
- Warming reagents and media, thawing samples
- Teaching labs and simple QC steps up to 100 °C
When to choose a four-hole water bath
Choose ODRA42 when you heat up to four vessels at a time and want each one held separately in its own ring. For many containers or large racks see the PURUS62 large water bath; when the samples must also be shaken in the water see the ORSHAWB shaking water bath.

Installation and care
Place the bath on a level, dry bench next to an earthed 220 V socket. Fill the tank with distilled or deionised water above the heater before switching on the heating, keep the lid on to reduce evaporation, and change the water regularly to keep the stainless steel tank clean.
