Clifton Laboratory Equipment UK
Authorised UK Distributor for Nickel-Electro & the Clifton Laboratory Equipment Range
Auckland Scientific is an authorised UK distributor for Nickel-Electro Ltd and the Clifton laboratory equipment range. Based in Bishop Auckland, County Durham, we supply Clifton laboratory equipment to customers throughout North East England and across the UK, with product advice, quotations and technical support.
Designed and Manufactured in Britain
Nickel Electro manufactures the Clifton Range at its UK facility, combining modern production methods with traditional engineering skills and in-house manufacturing.
Keeping design and production under one roof helps maintain control over product quality, lead times and manufacturing consistency.
British Manufacturing
Clifton laboratory equipment is designed and manufactured in the UK, with many products assembled and tested on-site before leaving the factory.
Engineering Experience
More than seven decades of temperature-control and laboratory equipment experience supports the design of robust, practical products.
Technical Support
Auckland Scientific can assist with product selection, specification, installation and ongoing support for Clifton laboratory equipment.
Clifton Laboratory Equipment Range
The Clifton Range covers a broad selection of laboratory heating, mixing and temperature-control equipment for education, research, healthcare, quality control and industrial laboratories.
Analogue and digital water baths for routine laboratory heating, education and quality-control applications.
Temperature-controlled baths for applications requiring improved uniformity and circulation.
Combined temperature control and sample agitation for laboratory and research workflows.
Ultrasonic cleaning and processing solutions for laboratory equipment and components.
Laboratory heating and stirring equipment for routine preparation and controlled heating applications.
Laboratory incubators for controlled temperature environments in education, research and routine laboratory work.
Drying and heating ovens for laboratory sample preparation and routine processing.
Roller and vortex mixers for controlled and repeatable sample mixing.
Cooling solutions for compatible laboratory temperature-control applications.
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.
Clifton Warranty & Product Support
Selected Clifton laboratory products are supplied with warranties of up to 3 years, depending on the individual model and product range.
Auckland Scientific can provide product advice before purchase and ongoing technical support for Clifton equipment supplied through us.
