How do Lab Armor Beads perform under high or low temperatures?
Beads have been tested using various water bath models at a range of temperatures. In most traditional water baths, the further the set temperature is from ambient temperature, the greater the thermal gradient will be in the bath. Therefore, at an operating temperature of 37C to 42C, the thermal gradient in a common water bath is typically +/-1-3C, whereas at 55-65C it is closer to +/-3-8C depending on the design of the bath and the amount of Lab Armor Beads used. For applications that require greater temperature control, a Lab Armor Bead Bath can be used. Bead Bath is designed specifically for use with beads, and therefore provides more consistent, uniform temperatures throughout the bath compared to traditional water baths. Thermal uniformity is +/- 0.5C at 37C and +/- 1.0 at 65C.
