Precision thermal management across sub-ambient temperature ranges is essential for crystallography, refractometry, and exothermic reaction control. Professional laboratory cooling thermostats and refrigerated circulators provide the high-cooling capacity and stability required for both internal and external temperature applications. As a vital component of our heating and cooling technology ecosystem, these units provide the foundational thermal stability required for the specialized processes found in our heating range, ensuring consistent results across long-term research applications.
Why Choose Professional Cooling Thermostats?
Our curated collection of refrigerated bath circulators is designed for space-saving efficiency and technical precision:
- Compact Ministat Series: We stock Peter Huber Ministat units, including the 125, 230, and 240 models, which are the smallest refrigerated circulators in the world, designed to fit into tight laboratory spaces.
- High-Capacity CC Series: Utilize the Peter Huber CC-405 and CC-405w refrigerated heating bath circulators for larger volume applications requiring advanced sample protection and digital control.
- Air and Water Cooled Options: Select between standard air-cooled models or "w" (water-cooled) variants like the Huber Ministat 125w and 230w for environments where heat dissipation must be managed via a facility's cooling water system.
- Broad Operational Ranges: Explore units capable of managing temperatures from -45°C up to +200°C, offering extreme versatility for both cooling and heating cycles in a single device.
LabFriend supplies cooling thermostats and circulators from industry-leading manufacturers specialized in professional liquid temperature control:

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the difference between air-cooled and water-cooled (w) models?
Air-cooled models use fans to dissipate heat into the room, while water-cooled models (like the Ministat 230w) transfer heat to a facility's cooling water line, which is ideal for small rooms or high-heat applications.
2. Why are Peter Huber Ministats so popular?
Ministats are the smallest refrigerated circulators in the world, allowing them to provide professional-grade cooling and heating performance while taking up very little bench space.
3. What temperature ranges can these circulators achieve?
Depending on the model, Huber circulators can manage temperatures ranging from approximately -45°C to +200°C, covering most standard laboratory requirements for cooling and heating.
4. Can these units be used to cool external equipment?
Yes, Peter Huber refrigerated circulators are designed with pump connections to circulate temperature-controlled fluid through external devices like refractometers, condensers, or jacketed reactors.
