Memmert WTB water bath
The Memmert WTB water bath is specially designed for high precision and reliability to perform a wide range of temperature control tasks in laboratories, cosmetics manufacturing and pharmaceutical production. Compared to other water baths on the market, this model is particularly suitable when precise temperature control, robust workmanship and a user-friendly interface are crucial.
Precise and reliable operation for demanding applications
The WTB series offers a temperature range from +10 °C to +100 °C and features an adjustment accuracy of 0.1 °C. This allows sensitive samples, solutions or mixtures to be temperature-controlled with precision. The device is made of high-quality stainless steel, making it acid and alkali resistant and easy to clean. It also features 2-point calibration, allowing deviations to be easily adjusted. These characteristics make the water bath ideal for laboratories where constant temperatures must always be guaranteed, as well as for sensitive production processes in cosmetics and pharmaceutical development.
A particularly noteworthy safety feature is the integrated self-diagnostic system with visual and audible alarms in the event of overtemperature. This reduces the risk of failure and increases work safety. The clear user interface, including a touchscreen, allows precise control of all parameters and quick adaptation to changing requirements.
Important technical data at a glance
- Temperature range: +10 °C to +100 °C - Setting accuracy: 0.1 °C - Usable capacity: 7.5 to 51 litres - Power consumption: 1000 to 2800 W (depending on model size)
- High-quality stainless steel interior: acid and alkali resistant
- Visual and audible alarm: immediate fault indication
In addition to these six main features, the appliance has various lid options, such as flat or sloping lids, to reduce condensation. The dimensions vary depending on the model size: internal widths from 207 mm to 482 mm and various internal heights of 150 mm or 200 mm are available, so that large, medium and small sample vessels can be positioned securely. Each model variant also differs externally to enable a perfect fit in the laboratory. The net weight ranges from 6 kg to 16 kg, depending on capacity. This means that the water bath remains portable and can be easily used in different locations as required.
The WTB series complies with typical safety and quality standards (e.g. CE conformity) and offers users maximum reliability. Thanks to its chemical resistance, reagents such as buffer solutions (e.g. PBS) or even cosmetic emulsions can be safely tempered in the bath.
Application examples
- Laboratory analyses: Constant incubation temperatures for cell cultures, microbiological tests or for melting agarose gels.
- Cosmetic production: Precise heating and mixing of creams, lotions or emulsions to achieve homogeneous results.
- Pharmaceutical processes: Precise temperature control in galenic processes for dissolving active ingredients and stability tests.
- Universities and research institutions: Practical assistance with experimental projects that require reproducible, accurate temperatures.
FAQs
How is the temperature kept stable?
The finely tuned control technology keeps the preset temperature constant. An integrated controller continuously compares the actual and target values and corrects even the slightest deviations.
What are the advantages of 2-point calibration?
With two defined reference temperatures, measurements can be readjusted more easily, resulting in even greater measurement accuracy and reproducibility.
How can the device be cleaned?
The interior is made of stainless steel and is therefore extremely durable. Residues can be easily removed with standard cleaning agents or disinfectants.
Is external monitoring possible?
Yes, the device can be integrated into a laboratory network via a digital interface or, optionally, via remote monitoring solutions. This allows the temperature to be checked at any time and automatically documented if required.
Conclusion
The water bath presented here combines high-quality stainless steel construction with precise, flexible temperature control and numerous safety features. Thanks to various model sizes and accessories, it can be optimally adapted to different requirements. Companies in the laboratory, cosmetics and pharmaceutical sectors benefit from solid, low-maintenance operation and intuitive handling. In addition, the robust design and high chemical resistance extend the service life and reduce running costs. Anyone who needs a professional, long-term reliable device for demanding tasks will find this water bath a convincing solution.
