Grant Instruments has launched precision engineered GLS Aqua Plus series linear shaking water baths for molecular biologists for hybridization, producing bacterial culture media and for solubility studies.

The GLS Aqua Plus series includes a choice of two models (12 and 18 litre) and features a robust patented, magnetically coupled shaking mechanism which provides maximum reliability, consistency and quiet operation.

The new baths include a drain tap to allow easy tank emptying, two programmable temperature and shaking presets for rapid selection of commonly used set points, a countdown timer with audible buzzer, and non-drip polycarbonate lids.

The see-through gabled polycarbonate lid not only improves performance of the baths but limits evaporation, reduces contamination and conserves energy.

The new models boast precision temperature control throughout the operating range of ambient +5°C to 99°C with ±0.1°C stability and uniformity.

The GLS Aqua Plus range also include a wide range of accessories like flask and test tube trays, test tube and microtube racks – to provide exactly the right solution for application.
