Lab Armor Beads provide an alternative to using water in laboratory water baths. The beads can thermally heat or cool samples like water but without the risks of contamination from water. Using the beads eliminates issues with ruined experiments or contaminated reagents from water. The beads also require less maintenance than water baths and are more energy efficient. Lab Armor Beads are a safer and more economical option for temperature control in the lab compared to traditional water-filled baths.
