In science classrooms and teaching laboratories, reliability and simplicity are essential. Whether in high schools, TAFEs, or universities, water baths are an indispensable tool for demonstrating heat transfer, biological reactions, chemical solubility, and more.
Thermoline offers a wide range of laboratory water baths that are perfectly suited for educational use, combining durability, ease of use, and built-in safety features designed for student learning environments.
Water baths help students understand fundamental scientific concepts through hands-on experiments, such as:
Enzyme activity studies in biology
Solubility and reaction rate experiments in chemistry
Maintaining constant temperatures in sample incubation
Demonstrating thermal equilibrium and calibration principles
These applications require consistent, gentle heating - something open flames or hot plates can’t provide with the same level of control or safety.
When it comes to outfitting a school or tertiary lab, Thermoline water baths offer key benefits tailored to the education sector:
Digital or analogue models are available, depending on budget and level of instruction
Simple controls are ideal for student use under supervision
Enclosed heating elements reduce burn risk
Optional over-temperature protection and safety cut-offs
Durable stainless steel construction that stands up to classroom use
Designed for long-term use with minimal servicing
Australian-built for easy local support and fast turnaround on spare parts
Available in various sizes to suit small or large class groups
Accurate digital temperature control (up to 99.9°C)
Great for enzyme experiments, gentle chemical reactions, or heating reagents
Perfect for: High schools, undergraduate university labs, and teaching-focused TAFEs.
Offer uniform temperature distribution
Ideal for more advanced applications, such as calibration demonstrations or comparative experiments
Recommended for institutions teaching instrument calibration or research techniques
Perfect for: University-level science and engineering courses.
Combine both heating and cooling capabilities, allowing precise temperature control across a broader range (typically from ~0°C to 99°C)
Ideal for experiments requiring sub-ambient temperatures, such as metabolic rate testing, temperature-dependent reactions, or cold shock experiments
Feature robust refrigeration systems and user-friendly digital interfaces
Perfect for: Advanced biology, biochemistry, and environmental science programs in universities and research-focused TAFEs.
