NB 5, NB 9 and NB 20 Water Baths accurately control the temperatures of samples and commonly
used in microbiology, research and industrial laboratories. They offer excellent temperature
control of liquid producing a uniform and stable heating environment for the applications. They
provide temperatures between 5°C above the ambient temperature and 99.9°C for procedures
where temperature uniformity and stability are important. The homogeneous temperature
distribution in the tank is ensured by means of the heaters which are placed around chamber.
The baths are equipped with the timer and they are controlled by a PID microprocessor controlled
system to ensure precise temperature control. Two digital displays situated on the user-friendly
control panel display the temperature and time values.
