How does Bath Armor perform under high or low temperatures?
Bath Armor has been tested using various water bath models at a range of temperatures. In most baths, the further the set temperature is from ambient temperature, there is an increase in the thermal gradient of the Bath Armor farthest away from the thermal source. This means that at an operating temperature of 37C to 42C, the thermal gradient in a 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 Bath Armor used. Reduce the temperature gradient by reducing the depth of the Bath Armor. To help reduce this gradient when using Bath Armor at higher temperatures, a reduced volume of Bath Armor can be used. For example, in a bath set at 65 C, the temperature gradient can be reduced by 2-3 fold by using only a 3-inch depth of Bath Armor instead of 6-inch depth. For the most part, high temperature applications use microfuge tubes and other small vessels, so reducing the overall volume of Bath Armor is very practical
