Applications
Laboratory water baths are standard equipment in biological, chemical, and clinical lab settings. The Precision Scientific 182 is a compact benchtop unit well suited for sample warming, reagent preparation, enzyme reactions, microbiological incubation, and serology procedures that require a stable, controlled aqueous heat environment. Precision Scientific was a long-established American laboratory instrument manufacturer headquartered in Chicago, and their water baths were widely used in university, hospital, industrial, and government research labs from the mid-twentieth century onward. Benchtop water baths of this style — with analog temperature control and stainless steel construction — remain in everyday use in labs that need reliable, low-complexity thermal baths without digital complexity. The 25–100°C range covers the vast majority of common laboratory heating tasks, including near-boiling sterilization steps at the upper end.
This Precision Scientific Model 182 heated water bath has been pulled from a working laboratory environment and has not been powered up or tested at our facility. The exterior housing is in good used condition with typical surface wear. The interior stainless steel bath shows noticeable mineral deposits and rust-colored staining on the removable bottom rack, as seen in the photos — this is common with used lab water baths and does not indicate structural damage. The lid, power cord, and front control panel all appear intact. Please review all photos carefully and contact us with any questions before purchasing.
