Output Waveform: Sinusoidal Specifications subject to change without notice. Attainable Temperatures: Your LX Immersion Circulator can be used with reservoirs of various capacities and shapes as well as different fluids. These variables may adversely affect temperature accuracy and stability. Reser voir Fluids A variety of fluids can be used with your Immersion Circulator.
For optimum temperature stability, the fluid’s viscosity should be 50 centistokes (cSt) or less at its lowest operating temperature. This permits good fluid circulation and minimizes heating from the pump.
