ORSHAWB Thermostatic Shaking Water Bath · RT to 100 °C · 20–200 rpm · 31 L
The shaking water bath ORSHAWB combines a thermostatic water bath and a reciprocating shaker in one unit. The 31 L stainless steel tank holds the water from room temperature to 100 °C with ±0.1 °C stability, while the basket moves back and forth at 20–200 rpm. With the shaker stopped, it works as a regular laboratory water bath.
Model and order code
| Model | Order code | Temperature | Shaking | Tank · basket | Exterior W × D × H |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ORSHAWB | PRO3099 | RT to 100 °C | reciprocating, 20–200 rpm | 31 L · 395 × 250 mm | 828 × 360 × 425 mm |
Flask capacity 100 ml × 12, 250 ml × 8 or 500 ml × 6. Water bath flask seat and tube rack included.
Water bath and shaker in one unit
Water transfers heat to flasks and tubes faster and more evenly than air. In ORSHAWB the samples sit in the water and are mixed at the same time, so cultures, enzyme reactions and extractions run at a constant temperature with constant movement. A soft start with adjustable start speed keeps the liquid in the flasks, and the drive locks if the speed goes out of control.

When to choose a shaking water bath
Choose ORSHAWB when the samples must be heated evenly by water and mixed at the same time, up to 100 °C. For shaking in air with heating and cooling see the ORSHA80 · ORSHA85 shaking incubators; for a water bath without shaking see the PURUS thermostatic water bath; for tubes and microplates in a dry block see the ALEMADR-TSHL thermo shaker.
