Lab Armor LLC products

Lab Armor Beads provide a modern solution for laboratory equipment that traditionally relies on water, ice, oil, or sand in baths. These dry metallic beads aim to improve efficiency by eliminating the need for regular maintenance associated with water baths, such as cleaning and refilling. They offer a significant advantage in terms of hygiene by being less prone to microbial growth, thereby reducing the risk of compromising experimental data due to contamination. These beads support a temperature range from -80°C to 180°C, boasting high thermal conductivity and stability, which aids in precise temperature control. Their non-toxic and antimicrobial properties negate the need for biocides or germicides. With an ergonomic rounded shape, they adapt fluidly to various vessel sizes and shapes, reducing the need for additional support equipment. As they are also environmentally friendly and recyclable, the beads present a sustainable choice for modern laboratories aiming for efficient and reliable performance.

Lab Armor Bead Baths represent a unique approach to maintaining thermal uniformity in laboratory settings. These baths are specifically engineered to work in harmony with Lab Armor Beads, ensuring that temperatures remain consistent across the entire bath surface. With a thermal uniformity of +/- 1.0°C at 37°C, they provide a stable environment for samples. Unlike traditional water baths, the Bead Bath eliminates the need for water, preventing evaporation-related issues and reducing the risk of contamination that can affect sample integrity. Always on, they eliminate warm-up times, offering convenience and efficiency. They are also up to 50% more energy-efficient compared to standard water baths. Available in three sizes, the Bead Bath provides versatility for various laboratory needs. Features include digital control with a display resolution of 0.1°C, overtemperature protection, and compliance with safety certifications. With power options for both 100-120 VAC and 220 Volt, this product is adaptable to different lab settings.

Lab Armor has innovated the scientific bath industry with its Peltier Bead Bath, a versatile unit harnessing Peltier Thermoelectric Cooler-Heater (TEC-H) technology for precise thermal control in both heating and cooling applications. This unique product integrates an air jacketed design, which distinguishes it as the only bead bath with dual capabilities on the market. Designed to work effectively with Lab Armor Beads, the Peltier Bead Bath offers exceptional temperature uniformity and stability, maintaining uniform temperatures within a range of +/-0.5°C at 37°C. Its digital controller and display resolution of 0.1°C facilitate precise adjustments, while the built-in overtemperature protection ensures safe operation. The unit is equipped with removable aluminum baskets, a hinged sealing lid, and acrylic viewport, making it practical for various laboratory environments. Moreover, the absence of water eliminates risks of contamination, optimizes bench space, and enhances the cleanliness of laboratory processes.

The Lab Armor DryTemp Bead Bath offers a digital dry bath solution designed for precise temperature and time control, negating the need for an external thermometer or timer. Its innovation lies in the use of Lab Armor Bead Boxes filled with beads instead of traditional aluminum blocks, allowing for versatile tube testing of various sizes. The system includes a built-in user recalibration function to ensure long-term temperature accuracy. Notably, removable Bead Boxes enable samples to remain heated outside the main unit, protecting them from water-borne contaminants and maintaining a dry and organized workspace. This energy-efficient bath features beads low in biocide use and fully recyclable materials, presenting an eco-friendly alternative that meets sustainable lab requirements. The dimensions at 8.7 x 10.3 x 3.2 inches externally and 3.25 x 5.5 x 2.5 inches internally accommodate dual Single Bead Boxes or a Double Bead Box, operating efficiently within a temperature range from ambient plus 5°C to 150°C with uniformity within +/- 0.2°C.

The Lab Armor Bead Box represents an advanced iteration of the traditional dry bath heat block system, demonstrating a shift from solid blocks to a design centered around Lab Armor Beads. This unique configuration enhances flexibility and performance by facilitating the uniform distribution of heat, crucial for maintaining the precision required during incubation of varied laboratory vessels such as microfuge tubes, test tubes, microplates, and slides. The Bead Box eliminates the need for multiple aluminum blocks by offering a versatile and compatible solution with any commercially available dry bath. Its dimensions and weight vary according to capacity, with options for single (0.25 liters) or double boxes (0.50 liters). The operating temperature ranges from -80°C to 180°C, maintaining a midrange temperature uniformity of ±1°C. Lab Armor Bead Box is paired with the DryTemp Bead Bath for optimal performance, offering substantial savings compared to market alternatives.
