It is recognised that a conventional water bath requires regular cleaning, all wetted surfaces need treating with a surface disinfectant along with frequent changes of water reducing the occurrence of contamination. Bath Armor? aims to tackle water contamination by utilizing a dry, metallic thermal media comprised of small beads instead of water. The result is a dry bath that is far less conducive to contamination than a water-filled bath. Bath Armor? can be cleaned using a disinfectant solution and or can be autoclaved. Flasks and tubes etc can be placed stably within the Bath Armor? obviating the need for test tube racks and holders. The problems associated with emptying baths are now a thing of the past!
