BeadBath Duo™ is the first dual-mode laboratory bath engineered for precision temperature control using either traditional water or modern Lab Armor® thermal beads. With its unique “MODE” button, users can toggle between Bead or Water mode, ensuring optimal heating behavior and uniformity for the selected medium—no manual recalibration or guesswork needed.
This versatile design combines the advantages of water and bead baths into one compact, easy-to-use unit. Whether you prioritize minimal maintenance or rapid heating, the BeadBath Duo delivers reliable, accurate performance in any lab setting.
Features:
- Dual-mode operation: switch between Bead and Water modes with a button press
- Quik-Cal™ function for easy in-lab calibration
- Runs constant without waiting for heat-up – ideal for busy labs
- No evaporation, no refills – avoid burnout and contamination
- Accessory-free securing of tubes and bottles directly in beads
- Allows angled incubations and direct sample contact
- Excellent temperature uniformity and control across both modes
