Available in 3 models, the powerful Ministat thermoregulator range from Radleys offers, pound-for-pound, more power than any other bench-top thermostat or water bath. The Ministat is, according to one senior researcher at GlaxoSmithKline (UK), "a great, compact temperature control unit for small processes."

Offering precise temperature control from -40 to 200°C the Ministat range is built for the crowded laboratory workbench or for use in fume hoods where space is at a premium. All stainless steel construction eliminates the need for a gasket between the outer case and the bath improving insulation and enhancing long-term durability and chemical resistance. Ministat units also feature Variable Pump Control (VPC) which allows faster heating and cooling for more demanding applications.

Using Huber's proven 'Plug'n'Play' technology the Ministat range provides unmatched applications flexibility through a choice of interchangeable controllers. The backlit LCD display has been designed for simple and intuitive operation. Where the Ministat is being used to control the temperature of an external device an optional 'displacement insert' can be used to reduce the bath volume, directing the power to the external application.

All units in the Ministat family are fitted with an independent over temperature protection and bath-fluid level monitoring devices. When activated the units give a visual and audible warning and shutdown to standby mode avoiding damage to the system or experiment. All Ministat cooling systems are CFC and HCFC free.

With a network of certified refrigeration engineers and fully trained distributors; Radleys is able to offer technical support, servicing and emergency repairs on water baths, circulators, chillers and thermoregulators nationwide. With servicing to factory-approved protocols, warranty work undertaken and an emergency call-out service, Radleys offers complete peace of mind.
