Lab Armor Introduces Beads for Thawing, Chilling

Lab Armor has introduced its Bath Armor Beads. The eco-friendly and low-maintenance metallic beads replace water in water baths, aluminum blocks in dry baths and ice in ice buckets.

The beads are ideal for laboratory use because they eliminate the need for water and ice, thereby reducing the possiblity of contamination, the need to change water, and the need for ice machines.

The beads thaw, warm and chill samples with high thermal efficiency, while avoiding common temperature fluctuations caused by evaporation.

They are self-supporting, so the racks and clips that are normally required to hold sample containers in position are eliminated and sample containers can be positioned at an angle.

The beads can be used from -80ºC to over 350°C for a range of laboratory uses.
