Laboratory thermostats are the devices used for accurate control and maintaining stable temperature inside a room or a vessel experiments are conducted or samples are stored in.
Thermostats are very important in laboratories, where temperature being controlled is of key importance and has impact on experiment results or maintaining of sample quality.
Taking care of the highest quality of your tests and comfort at work, EPRO also offers laboratory thermostats.
There are several reasons why a thermostat is very important in laboratory conditions. Firstly, accurate temperature control enables repeatability of experiment results,
because many chemical or enzymatic reactions and biological processes are sensitive to temperature. Secondly, thermostats provide protection against overheating or freezing
which is important for safety and maintaining stability of samples and reagents. Also, thermostats can be used in order to prepare conditions appropriate to breed microorganisms or fermentation processes.
Types and applications of laboratory thermostats
Cooling thermostats are used to maintain low temperature, often below the ambient temperature. Storage and experiments requiring low temperatures,
such as storage of biological samples, cryopreservation or thermal analysis, could not be performed without thermostats.
Freeze drying thermostats enable the lyophilisation process, i.e. drying substances by freezing and evaporation in the vacuum conditions.
Freeze drying thermostats are used to control temperature during the entire lyophilisation process, allowing to perform the stable and controlled process of sample drying.
Incubator thermostats are used to breed microorganisms and cells. They assure stable temperature and monitoring of humidity, necessary for growth and multiplication of organisms in controlled conditions.
Heating block / plate thermostats are used in scientific laboratories to warm various types of samples in blocks of various sizes.
They can be used to conduct chemical reactions, incubation or digestion processes.
In the thermostatic water bath thermostats are used to maintain stable temperature of bath in which you can place vessels with samples.
These thermostats can be applied in thermal analysis, calibration or cell breeding.
Selection of a laboratory thermostat
Before purchasing appropriate equipment you should think what you are going to need a laboratory thermostat for.
When selecting a thermostat, pay attention to its parameters. Not only is the well-selected equipment going to serve you for years,
it will also make your work efficient and convenient.
The temperature range and accuracy are important, because different experiments require different temperatures,
while the precise temperature control is crucial for result accuracy. Safety functions, such as alarm systems, automatic cut-off in case of overheating
or protection against leaks, are necessary in order to ensure safe use of a thermostat.
Robustness and reliability are important, so a thermostat could be durable and meet requirements related to intense use in a laboratory.
The user-friendly interface, easy operation and intuitive displays make using of a thermostat and programming of required parameters easier.
Calibration capabilities are useful, because they enable customisation of a thermostat to certain requirements precise temperature control.
Profits gained from using a laboratory thermostat.
Precise temperature control in experiments and processes allows to obtain more accurate and repeated results.
Automation of thermostats enable repeatability of results, eliminating the need of manual temperature control and monitoring.
Thermostats protect against overheating or freezing, which is crucial to maintain stability of samples and reagents.
Long story short, the laboratory thermostat is an indispensable tool in laboratories, enabling control and maintaining of stable temperature in order to conduct experiments,
breeding or sample storage. Selection of the appropriate thermostat, considering such properties as temperature range, safety functions or durability, is crucial for accuracy
and reliability of laboratory tests. Thermostats provide temperature control, process automation and sample protection, contributing to achievement of reliable results and progress in scientific
and medical research. EPRO will gladly advise you on purchase of the appropriate thermostat.
