Benchmark™ BeadBath Duo™
The BeadBath Duo™Â series are the first laboratory baths designed for precision temperature control when used with water, or with (the increasingly popular) Lab Armor® thermal beads. Unlike any other laboratory bath, they feature a "MODE" button that can be used to toggle between "Bead" or "Water" mode. Choosing the correct mode will automatically adjust the operation and balance of the multiple internal heating and sensing elements to ensure optimal performance. The result is one combination bath that is suitable for accurate, and uniform temperature control in either condition.
While most research laboratories today are using water baths, many prefer the convenience of bead baths due to the advantages listed below. With the BeadBath Duo™, the lab gets the best of both worlds, allowing conversion from one bath type to the other, with the simple press of a button.Â
- Two separate modes for BEADS AND WATER
- Quik-Cal™, simple in-lab calibration function
- Offers all of the advantages of a "Bead Bath"
- Eliminates constant refills (Burn-out protection)
- Easy (accessory free) securing of tubes and bottles
- Allows angled incubations
- Runs constant (no wait for heat-up)
Note: Beads are not included with these items. For beads for baths, find them here.

Lab Armor®Â Bead Bath
Bead Baths from Lab Armor®Â are designed with the user in mind and are optimized to work with Lab Armor®Â Bath Beads. Bead Bath performs all the essentials, including warming, thawing, incubating, chilling and does so while maintaining a constant temperature just like a water bath. These baths deliver exceptional temperature uniformity up to 80°C. The baths are available in 6 L, 14 L, and 20 L sizes, with and without beads included.Â
- Uniform Temperatures
- With Bead Bath designed specifically for beads, temperatures are consistent and uniform everywhere in the bath. Thermal uniformity is an amazing ±5 °C at 37 °C and ± 1 °C at 65 °C. Since Bead Bath won't boil off like water, or pose danger of combustion like oil, it is ideal for most applications from 37°C to 400 °C.
- Fast Start
- Bead Bath gets up and running faster and you never need to turn it off. There is nothing to evaporate. Unlike a standard bead-filled water bath, Bead Bath allows you to achieve a new set temperature quickly, without long warm up delays, so you can make quick adjustments.
- Stays Organized
- Unlike water baths that require racks, floats and bottleneck weights, Bead Bath naturally holds things in place without accessories. The types and kinds of vessels that can be used with the Bead Bath aren't limited to water-tight containers. So you can safely incubate multiwall plates and petri dishes-or thaw samples without fear of water wicking under the lids. And vessels can be set into the beads at any angle for better thermal optimization.
- Low Maintenance
- Water baths must be routinely monitored, cleaned and maintained. While it is a good idea to keep an eye on Bead Bath, it rarely needs attention. A bi-weekly or monthly spritz of a biodegradable disinfectant is usually sufficient.
