A unique alternative to water baths Unlike water, Lab Armor Beads do not evaporate and therefore help protect against instrument overheating and burnout
But, like water, it is important to add a sufficient volume to the bath to ensure safe operation
An insufficient volume can cause inaccurate thermostat readings, which can result in continuous heating of the bath
Beads can be used in water baths or dry baths
Plus, they can replace ice in the lab when used in our Chill Bucket
Stay dry and protected from waterborne microbial contaminants Hold capped and non-watertight vessels in place without racks or accessories Use less energy than water Don't require germicides Eliminate warm-up time and make lab experiments easy and repeatable Made from recyclable material For best results, fill bath between 75% and full
