Per4mance Stainless Steel Water Bath
24 Liter
Touch Glass Panel · 3 Programmable Setpoints · ±0.3°C Stability · Single-Piece Stainless Basin · Dual Voltage
The 24-liter Per4mance water bath is the high-capacity option for core facilities, shared research labs, and production workflows — large enough for multi-flask fermentations and bottle-scale reagent warming, yet held to ±0.3°C stability across the entire reservoir. Extended 99-hour timer supports the longest overnight and weekend protocols without interruption.
Why Single-Piece Stainless Matters
At 24 liters, thermal mass is the enemy and the asset in equal measure — it buffers brief disturbances, but forgives no controller weakness. Off-brand large-format baths drift, recover slowly after the lid opens, and almost always ship with welded basins that corrode through at the heating element long before the motor fails.
The WBT200224 solves all three: a single-piece drawn stainless basin with no seams to corrode, continuous microprocessor-regulated heating holding ±0.3°C stability across the full volume, and the same sealed glass touch panel as the smaller units — wipe-clean, reagent-resistant, and unaffected by ethanol disinfection.
Lab-Grade Stability
Holds ±0.3°C across the full RT+5°C to 99.9°C range — tight enough for enzyme kinetics, PCR reagent prep, and serology protocols that drift when the bath drifts.
3 Stored Setpoints
Three configurable program buttons launch your most-used temperatures with a single press. No more dialing in 37°C, 56°C, and 95°C by hand every morning.
Dual-Layer Safety
Independent over-temperature cutoff plus dry-start protection means a forgotten fill or a runaway setpoint shuts the heater down before samples — or the basin — take damage.
Glass Touch Control
Sealed glass panel wipes clean with any lab disinfectant. No buttons to trap protein spills, no membrane to crack under ethanol, no crevices to grow biofilm.
"Heats to 99.9°C. Stops at 100.1°C." — The over-temperature cutoff is a physically independent circuit, not a firmware check. If the primary controller fails, the secondary kills power before water boils dry.

Ideal Applications
Microbiology
Serology at 56°C, media tempering at 50°C, agar holding at 47°C — all three stored as one-touch presets.
Molecular Biology
Heat-shock transformations, enzyme inactivation at 65°C/80°C/95°C, and reagent thawing with reproducible stability.
Cell Culture
Media and reagent warming at 37°C with tight stability — critical when thawed proteins meet sensitive cell lines.
