Applications
Benchtop water baths like the Precision Scientific Model 182 are standard equipment in research, clinical, and industrial laboratories for maintaining samples at a precise, stable temperature. Common uses include warming reagents and culture media, incubating biological samples, performing serological tests, thawing frozen specimens, and supporting general chemistry procedures that require controlled heating up to 100°C. The all-stainless construction resists corrosion from water and common lab chemicals, making these units a durable workhorse in biology, biochemistry, microbiology, and quality-control labs. Precision Scientific was a well-regarded Chicago-based laboratory equipment manufacturer whose water baths were widely used in academic, hospital, and industrial settings from the mid-twentieth century through the 1990s; units like the Model 182 remain serviceable and are still put to everyday use in labs today.
