Applications
Benchtop water baths like the Precision Scientific 185 are standard equipment in clinical, research, and industrial laboratories. They are used to incubate samples at a stable controlled temperature — common applications include thawing reagents and blood products, warming culture media, running enzyme reactions, performing serological tests, and maintaining samples at physiological temperatures. The 25–100°C range covers everything from near-ambient incubation up to near-boiling, making this a versatile general-purpose bath. Precision Scientific (later acquired by Thermo Fisher Scientific) produced this model through the 1970s and 1980s for the general laboratory market, and units of this design remain in use in labs where a reliable, simple heated bath is needed without programmable electronics.
This Precision Scientific Model 185 All Stainless Steel Water Bath has been inspected and pulled from a working laboratory environment. The white outer housing is in good cosmetic condition with light surface wear. The stainless steel lid is present and intact. The inner stainless steel tank shows rust staining and mineral scale deposits consistent with normal water bath use — typical for equipment of this type and age. The drain fitting is present. The front control panel, including both the Temperature Control and High Temperature Limit dials and the amber indicator lights, appears intact. This unit has not been powered up or tested at our facility. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
