Bath Armor – An Alternative to Water

Bath Armor is a high-thermal-conductivity bead medium designed for compatible unstirred Clifton water baths.

The beads can replace water as the heat-transfer medium, helping reduce water use and removing the need to repeatedly fill and empty a conventional water bath.

Nickel Electro testing reports average running-cost savings of approximately 70% in selected Clifton bath configurations compared with using water, although actual savings depend on the bath, operating conditions and energy costs.

Bath Armor can also help reduce waterborne contamination risks and allows different sizes of tubes and bottles to remain supported within the bath.

Clifton Water Baths

Water baths are one of the best-known areas of the Clifton Range, with options covering routine analogue baths, educational digital baths, advanced PID-controlled models and specialist stirred, shaking and boiling bath configurations.

Many Clifton water baths use corrosion-resistant stainless-steel tanks and are designed to provide stable temperature control with straightforward day-to-day operation.

Clifton water baths are pre-calibrated before leaving the UK factory, with model-specific specifications available for sensitivity, uniformity, chamber size and temperature range.

Laboratory Applications

Nickel Electro equipment is used across a wide range of laboratory and scientific environments.

Research laboratories
Universities & education
Quality control
Life science laboratories
Industrial laboratories
