Julabo CORIO CP-BC12 circulating thermostat
The Julabo CORIO CP-BC12 circulating water bath was developed for precise temperature control tasks in research, technology and production laboratories. Its versatility is demonstrated by its use in both integrated stainless steel baths and external applications - ideal for professional users who require maximum temperature stability, reliability and flexible controls. The precise PID1 control, the wide range of interface options and the generous temperature range make this system ideal for challenging applications where precision and safety are essential. This positions the device as the preferred solution over conventional laboratory and industrial thermostats.
Precision and efficiency for demanding temperature control tasks
The CORIO CP-BC12 impresses with its excellent temperature stability of ±0.02 °C and is designed for precise, reproducible results, even in sensitive applications and during long periods of continuous operation. The patented pressure pump operates extremely quietly and allows for continuous adjustment of both the delivery pressure and the flow rate. The convenient switch between internal and external circulation greatly simplifies application changes and offers maximum flexibility, especially in laboratories and technical centres with changing requirements.
