The SBS40 Water Bath with integral shaking is available with many choices of platforms to provide linear or orbital shaking action

The speed and temperature controls are rather easy to use. The shaking speed is adjustable and electronic feedback control ensures accurately maintained speed. The water bath temperature is set and monitored via the easy to read LED display. In addition, the design incorporates an over-temperature protection system that tracks the set temperature and controls the heater in the event of a fault.

A range of stainless steel accessories is available, designed to accommodate popular tube types, ranging from 1.5ml micro-tubes up to 50ml centrifuge tubes. A choice of cover is also available, designed to reduce heat loss and evaporation in either stainless steel or plastic. The polycarbonate cover allows the cover to be hinged either side of the bath depending on working conditions and preference.

Unit also includes BioCote, an antimicrobial silver technology embedded in the paint to help inhibit growth due to inadvertent spills, unique to this range Techne / Bibby Scientific products.

Unit comes with an industry-leading three year warranty as standard, covering both parts and labor.

The platforms require no special fitting and use strong magnets, which couple to the drive unit underneath the stainless steel tank. Vessels are securely held in place on the stainless steel platforms by a series of high-tension springs, which accommodate almost any size and combination of vessel. The heater is mounted underneath the tank to allow easy cleaning. A low-level water sensor causes a warning to flash on the display to indicate when the water level is low, cutting power to the heater to prevent the bath from boiling dry. A drain is also incorporated to aid emptying of the bath. The platforms will accommodate the following Erlenmeyer flasks: 8 x 250ml, 6 x 500ml or 4 x 1000ml capacity.
