Brief Introduction:

Thermostatic Water/Oil Baths are made of high quality stainless steel, with characteristics of compact structure, micropprocessor controlling, easy to operate, air-cooled compressor, overheat protection, overcurrent protection, and novel stainless steel circulator, making it widely applicable for oil, biochemical, electronic instrument, physis, engineering, medicine, foodstuff, and other applications.

A heated bath is used in the laboratory to allow a chemical reaction to occur at an elevated temperature.

The heated bath is a fluid placed in an open (metal) pot. Water and silicone oil are the most commonly used fluids. Awater bath is used for temperatures up to 100 °C. An oil bath is employed for temperatures over 100 °C.

The heated bath is heated on a hot plate, or with a bunsen burner. The reaction chamber (florence flask, erlenmeyer flask, beaker) is immersed in the heated bath. A thermometer is usually kept in the fluid to monitor the temperature.
