A laboratory water bath is a common device used to heat samples gently and keep them at a steady temperature for a long time. The WATERBATH works by filling a container with water, heating it, and maintaining the set temperature using a control system. This method is safer than using an open flame, especially for flammable chemicals, because it prevents ignition. The WATERBATH 12P is a specific type of laboratory water bath with a 12-liter capacity, making it suitable for holding several samples at once. It usually has a stainless steel tank for durability, a lid to prevent water loss, and digital or analog controls for setting the temperature accurately. Laboratory water baths like the WATERBATH 12P are used in many fields, including biology, chemistry, and medicine, for tasks such as warming reagents, melting substances, or growing cell cultures. They provide uniform, gentle heating, which is important for experiments that need precise temperature control without direct heat.
A “water bath 12P” typically refers to a laboratory water bath with 12 positions or holes, designed to hold multiple test tubes or flasks simultaneously for heating or incubating at a controlled temperature. These are commonly used in chemical, biological, and clinical laboratories for applications such as sample incubation, reagent warming, or gentle heating.

A 12-hole laboratory water bath features a robust stainless steel (SS 304) inner chamber for corrosion resistance and easy cleaning, with double-walled construction and mineral wool insulation to minimize heat loss. It offers precise digital or thermostatic temperature control, typically ranging from 5°C above ambient up to 99–100°C, with a sensitivity of ±0.5°C. Removable concentric rings accommodate various container sizes, and a drain plug ensures convenient water removal and maintenance. Safety features include low water cut-off, over-temperature protection, and alarms. Additional options may include a digital timer, PID controller, and stirring capability, making the water bath versatile for laboratory applications requiring uniform, controlled heating.
