-40°C to 200°C — SIL180 (SC 150 and SC 150L units only)
SIL180 is suitable for covering nearly the entire range with just one liquid,
especially when used with the cooling units.
Unfortunately SIL180 has a wetting tendency necessitating the occasional
cleaning of the bath cover.
other temperatures (SC 150 and SC 150L units only)
Thermo Fisher Scientific offers a range of heat transfer fluids for these
temperature control applications.
SYNTH 60, SYNTH 200, SYNTH 260: (SC 150 and SC 150L units only)
Synthetic thermal liquid with a medium life span (several months) and little
smell annoyance.
SIL 100, SIL 180, SIL 300: (SC 150 and SC 150L units only)
Silicone oil with a very long life span ( over 1 year) and negligible smell.
Thermo Fisher heat transfer fluids are supplied with an EC Safety Data
Sheet.
Ensure, when selecting the heat transfer fluid, that no toxic gases can
be generated. Inflammable gases can build up over the fluid during
usage.

Ensure the over temperature cut-off point is set lower than the fire
point for the heat transfer fluid selected.
The highest working temperature as defined by the EN 61010 (IEC
1010) must be limited to 25°C below the fire point of the bath fluid.
When working with fluids other than water:
• Do not use any fluid until you have read and understood the label and
the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
• Ensure any fluid residue or any other material is thoroughly removed
before filling the unit with a different fluid.
• Always wear protective clothing, especially a face shield and gloves.
• Avoid spattering on any of the unit's components, always
When adding, point the opening of a container away from yourself.
• Use fume hoods.
• Do not allow any ignition sources in the vicinity.

slowly add fluid.
