The Laboratory Shaking Water Baths category supports laboratories that need to heat, cool, incubate, freeze or stabilise samples and processes at defined temperatures. The range spans routine bench requirements and more specialised applications where material choice, control and repeatability become especially important.
Temperature uniformity, recovery and control stability influence reaction rates, storage integrity and the reproducibility of many laboratory methods. A well-matched setup balances controller and logging options, working temperature range, heating or cooling capacity, and chamber or bath volume, helping the laboratory avoid unnecessary rework, difficult cleaning or premature replacement.
A complete temperature-control setup matches the load and vessel to the working range, heating or cooling capacity, circulation, monitoring and safety requirements. Looking at the full sequence makes it easier to identify the correct accessories and consumables before the equipment is put into service in research, biotechnology, pharmaceutical, food, materials and industrial laboratories. As part of the Laboratory Heating and Cooling Equipment range, these products can be selected with the equipment and consumables used before and after this stage.
Our Laboratory Shaking Water Baths range
Our collection covers shaking water baths operating principles and applications, when to use a hinged lid with shaking water bath, the grant ols 26 bath operate below room temperature, and flask clamps included with the water bath, giving laboratories practical choices for routine work and more specialised applications.
Laboratory Shaking Water Baths operating principles and applications
Julabo shaking water baths typically offer an adjustable speed range of 40 to 200 rpm, making them suitable for both gentle aeration and vigorous mixing tasks. Before ordering, compare controller and logging options, working temperature range, and heating or cooling capacity. A product that fits the complete workflow will generally be easier to validate, maintain and reorder. Used correctly, this part of the range helps laboratories hold samples and processes within the conditions required for repeatable work and dependable storage. The result is a setup that is easier to train, document and maintain.
When to use a hinged lid with shaking water bath
Using a JULABO hinged polycarbonate or stainless steel lid is essential for preventing sample contamination, reducing fluid evaporation, and maintaining superior temperature stability. For routine and specialised work, assess working temperature range, heating or cooling capacity, and chamber or bath volume. Matching these points early helps avoid adapters, consumables or operating limitations being discovered after purchase. This is especially valuable when teams need to hold samples and processes within the conditions required for repeatable work and dependable storage. Consistent handling also reduces the risk of variation between batches or operators.
The Grant OLS 26 bath operate below room temperature
By default, the OLS 26 is a heating bath; however, when paired with the Grant CC26R refrigerated immersion cooler, it can achieve precise temperatures below ambient. For routine and specialised work, assess heating or cooling capacity, chamber or bath volume, and uniformity and stability. Matching these points early helps avoid adapters, consumables or operating limitations being discovered after purchase. In practice, this supports efforts to hold samples and processes within the conditions required for repeatable work and dependable storage. It also gives staff a clearer and more repeatable procedure when multiple users or shifts share the same equipment.
Flask clamps included with the water bath
Generally, specialised accessories like Lauda Erlenmeyer flask clamps or Julabo covers are sold separately to allow you to customize the bath platform to your specific vessel sizes. When comparing options, consider chamber or bath volume, uniformity and stability, and pump flow or air circulation. The correct choice should fit the sample, expected workload and any equipment already used in the method. Within the wider method, these products help laboratories hold samples and processes within the conditions required for repeatable work and dependable storage. They should be reviewed together with associated consumables, accessories and cleaning requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the shaking speed range of the Julabo units?
Julabo shaking water baths typically offer an adjustable speed range of 40 to 200 rpm, making them suitable for both gentle aeration and vigorous mixing tasks. Before ordering, confirm chamber or bath volume, uniformity and stability, and pump flow or air circulation and any accessories or consumables needed for routine use.
Why should I use a hinged lid with my shaking water bath?
Using a JULABO hinged polycarbonate or stainless steel lid is essential for preventing sample contamination, reducing fluid evaporation, and maintaining superior temperature stability. For shaking water baths, also check chamber or bath volume, uniformity and stability, and pump flow or air circulation so the product fits the complete procedure.
Can the Grant OLS 26 bath operate below room temperature?
By default, the OLS 26 is a heating bath; however, when paired with the Grant CC26R refrigerated immersion cooler, it can achieve precise temperatures below ambient. Laboratories should compare chamber or bath volume, uniformity and stability, and pump flow or air circulation and document the selected setup for consistent use.
Are flask clamps included with the water bath?
Generally, specialised accessories like Lauda Erlenmeyer flask clamps or Julabo covers are sold separately to allow you to customize the bath platform to your specific vessel sizes. For shaking water baths, also check chamber or bath volume, uniformity and stability, and pump flow or air circulation so the product fits the complete procedure.
Which specifications matter most when comparing shaking water baths?
The most important points are chamber or bath volume, uniformity and stability, pump flow or air circulation, and controller and logging options. Laboratories should also consider how the item will be stored, prepared, cleaned and replaced over its working life. The final choice should reflect chamber or bath volume, uniformity and stability, and pump flow or air circulation, as these points influence day-to-day compatibility and repeatability.
