New Water Bath Range Launched at ACHEMA 2012

Stuart has launched a new range of digital water baths at ACHEMA 2012 (Hall 4.2 Stand D35; 18-22 June, Frankfurt am Main, Germany). Safe, reliable and easy to use, the new SWB:D water bath range incorporates BioCote^® antimicrobial protection technology to reduce bacterial contamination. A new indirect heating element located beneath the bath and an integral drain makes cleaning even easier.
“Stuart SWB:D water baths are designed for unmonitored use in busy, multi-application laboratory environments,” said Rob Skehens, Marketing Director. “As such they are built to be very robust. Now, these latest advances in design make them even easier to maintain. I look forward to introducing them to the market at ACHEMA.”

All Stuart SWB:D water baths are equipped with intelligent safety features, including a temperature control system that tracks the set temperature and controls the heater in the event of a fault and a low level water sensor which cuts off the power to eliminate the risk of boiling dry. Available in choice of 6, 15 and 24 liter capacities, with clear polycarbonate cover and digital temperature safety controls provided as standard, these affordable water baths are suitable for a diverse range of laboratory applications.

A significant factor in conforming to the principles of good laboratory practice (GLP), and achieving health and safety compliance, BioCote^® antimicrobial protection technology is a silver ion treatment that helps to reduce levels of bacterial contamination in laboratory equipment. A recent study showed levels of microbial contamination found on Stuart products treated with BioCote^® were reduced by over 96% compared to untreated equipment used in the same environment.
